Thanks! They seem interesting!


Thanks! I'm myself a javascript developer and was wondering if javascript would be the best language to introduce programming.


I decreased my short sightedness by 50%, from -4 to -2 by following some principles and doing natural exercises. I wrote an article about it, have a read: https://medium.com/@faiz/why-spectacles-is-a-bad-idea-66078a...

"The fact is that the eyes contain muscles, are surrounded by muscles, and are embedded in adipose tissue, hence it seems inevitable that positive changes will take place in their shape and structure as a result of the forces exerted upon them by eye exercises, just as physical exercises can improve the shape and structure of the body ."


This reads like an opinion piece based on the author's anecdotal experience, not a scientific peer-reviewed study. It's perfectly fine to write an opinion, but it's not the same as a peer-reviewed study of hundreds or thousands of test subjects.


Thanks for your input. I agree the piece is an anectodal experience, but what led me to pursue it was a scientific paper I read. Yes, I agree that tests subjects might be in hundreds but not thousands, but it has worked for everyone I suggested to follow. Your eyes need to be in development stage for this to work, i.e. you have to be young, less than ~20 years.


If I'm sending contents of a website to client in .xz format, will browsers be able to decompress it?


No.


Short advice which will work: Watch Fight Club.

Wondering why? Here are few quotes from it: “May I never be complete. May I never be content. May I never be perfect.” ― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

“I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let... lets evolve, let the chips fall where they may.” ― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club


Have you gone through the material thoroughly? Take time to read 'em and also the files he uploaded on the drive. It makes sense. Also, check this out. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20140513-do-glasses-weaken-y...


The link I posted presents a counterview. "Professor Ananth Viswanathan, Consultant Surgeon at Moorfields Eye Hospital in London, believes the lack of research is probably down to the absence of any physiological reason why glasses might damage eyesight. Research needs not only to look for associations, but for plausible mechanisms." Unfortunately, its not so convincing enough as the article on medium. Its meant to be an introduction and to create a mindset. The real stuff is in the files uploaded on the drive
