I'm not sure there is much correlation between the two, at least in my case.
I fall squarely into the "no music" camp, and have since I was a child where music during study would drive me crazy. Music while coding is just a distraction to me.
However, I really love F.lux/Redshift. One of the most relaxing and productive things for me is to work in a dim or dark room with the display shifted to a fairly low color temp. By contrast, during the day I prefer fairly high contrast, using the VividChalk theme in Vim. In the past I would switch to a lower contrast theme like OceanDeep, but never found one to work well with red hues yet, which I prefer in dim light (partially as a throwback to old amber monitors.)
As a side note, I will agree with everyone saying the automated time based shifts are annoying. I usually find myself pausing or disabling it. Having it triggered off ambient light levels is the logical way, imho.
I also prefer nobody throw hambmurgers at me while coding, but if they want to toss them onto the corner of my desk for later consumption, I won't complain...
That's actually correct - 'an' before a sounded 'h' is a style issue in American English, and still commonly used. In nearly every other English dialect it is a strict rule.
Ctrl-Alt-Del fires an IRQ. As such, it can't usually be fired remotely - although some utils work around it by making API calls at the client end to trigger the behavior, depending on context.
Some flavors of VMware hooked the IRQ on the host machine and responded to that (not sure about VirtualBox, never thought to check that.) They can send it to the virtual machine easily, as they are also providing the a virtual bios/hardware layer.
If you mean gmail reply to you becomes SMS msg - Could you just forward replies via filter in gmail, sending them over to your phone provider's email to SMS bridge number? (Assuming they have one, most do)
Nobody "ever" does them, not because they are too hard, but rather because decades of fitness research tells us they are a poor fit in most routines.
On the low end, there is a decent risk of injury (especially knee) without careful attention to form.
For anyone working out regularly, a split routine is preferable. Burpees just dont work in any day of a split very well - and they really don't superset well for the same reasons.
A lot of the problem isn't so much the stress in particular, as it is your endocrine system's response to it. You go into fight or flight mode and start pumping out cortisol, and most of the rest of your system goes into standby.
Serious research into it is pretty young, but things like regular exercise can help control the process a bit more. We're starting to find compounds that can reduce cortisol response as well (eg. a couple of cups of black tea a day seems to noticeably reduce it.) As research progresses, we should see more advancement.
In the meantime, most of the 'good for you' stuff tends to reduce the problem. Eat well, exercise, get enough sleep, and so forth. They all work to minimize your body's response to stress. Avoiding stressful situations is ideal, but they aren't the root of the problem as much as cortisol is.
So, I'm about to take the plunge into the market, and have been wondering about this exact issue. How do you deal with it when you get failed to deliver problems? I mean, you probably can't just give them the apk, that's its own can of worms... any tips?
Tomboy is one of my favorite apps of all time (even kept up a Snowy for a while to sync.) Of all the alternatives mentioned here (which I've tried time and time again) it's the only one with such a slick workflow. Popping multiple pages open like sticky notes, or one big page for reference was a killer feature for me.
I've been waffling between txt or Google Docs for a while now, mostly just for need of a strong mobile client, but miss my Tomboy littered desktops...
