    I think this comment generalizes too much. I do not think Europeans are all the same on this (and probably Asians too). As an example I have the impression that what you wrote is t…

    I liked this phrase "revenge bedtime procrastination". In my case there is often this parameter that I do not want the day to end, I feel I did not accomplish enough during the day…

    My argument with my wife was not about the duration of sleep (nor has this anything to do with the schedule) but at what time a kid should go to bed. The reasoning behind this is t…

    This! My wife used to tell me that kids should be asleep by 2100 because some study showed it is better for them. But what does 2100 mean? It is totally arbitrary. I could accept a…

    I've tried going later to bed to use these as more productive hours for my sideprojects (heck I am still going too late to bed). Although I say that I have more energy in the night…

    I am from Greece. I cannot remember if our classes started at 0800 or 0900. But I remember that exams did start at 0800.

    It's funny that you say you are not an early bird yet for me going to bed at 2300 - 0000 and getting up at 0700 or 0800 is still early. I consider myself a night owl and if I ever …

    We use mercurial at work. I actually like it very much (of course it might be because we follow a certain workflow). When I try to use git for personal projects (because everyone u…

    For some reason this post brought to my mind the website of Fravia [1]. It is defunct now (he died 10+ years ago) but it is archived and various mirrors exist (have a look at the w…

    This prayer or rather the use of epiousios in this prayer and its appearance only in this prayer and how it should be translated is exactly the topic of this discussion.

    But this isn't ancient Greek. Yes I know about the Erasmus pronunciation and that it does not conform to how we talk nowadays. And I know most Greeks haven't ever heard about his t…

    The wikipedia article mentions your 1st point (that it was used elsewhere) but then continues to say that when the original text was reexamined it was found that it was a different…

    As a Greek myself I never really thought much about this word. Yes, it is not common but I thought I understood this. After reading the linked article I am not so sure anymore and …

    I email myself sometimes. But most of these emails get lost in the clutter. What would you expect this product (or the email provider) to do for such cases?

    Edit: I think I misunderstood your comment. I thought you meant Greece and Cyprus prefer to keep summer time for ever. Whereas you probably meant that Greece and Cyprus wanted to k…

    I took it as it will be longer than 8 hours. If you include the previous sentence in you excerpt it becomes: "It's playable now, through about 8 hours of content. It's going to be …

    Hi, this is an interesting project. It seems to be targeted for outdoor measurements. Do you know if this also suitable for indoor measurements (meaning if you want something for i…

    Yeah, as I said before in another comment I would be surprised "if the people that designed the Fitbit's period tracking feature did not include or at least consulted women". I tak…

    What is interesting, is this reply to the tweet mentioned in the article ( https://twitter.com/JeremiahLee/status/1025424090184728576 ) where this former(?) fitbit employee says th…

    I would not be surprised if other activities were missing also. Why do we have to assume that everything missing is gender specific? On the other hand it would be a big surprise fo…

    That's the point. An anti-portfolio is the companies they rejected but went on to be successful.

    I dislike changing the time twice a year too, but would prefer to stay on summer timer throughout the year instead of winter time. In autumn when the day becomes smaller, there rem…
