My RSI wasn't very bad, but each day it was getting slightly worse - it was reaching the point of being that bit too painful to sleep comfortably, the chronic dull pain was distracting, I was occasionally forced to take breaks when coding.
I started using a standing desk for back health and my RSI completely went away after about 2 weeks. I was doubtful at first and didn't let myself believe it would last (it makes that fall that much worse). But I'm happy to say it's been just under 6 months now and it's still completely gone.
If I were to guess I'd attribute it to the angle of my wrists when typing. Knowing you're not forced to change from a career you're passionate about is one of the best feelings I've had, and I hope at least someone on here can experience it by leveraging the advice in this thread :)
http://folding.stanford.edu/home/ I believe has a screensaver that will run simulations and has the results fired back to be collated. It also has a cool visualization :)
Does anybody know about international exporting restrictions for goods such as this? My freight forwarder restricts food and beverage, but not sure if it's technically classified as such?
I've tried that also but still no luck. I have the commands in separate bat files but I wouldn't expect that to affect it, or I might be using the wrong chrome executable?
It still irks me that people can tout off success as though it's guaranteed for small experiments such as this without even considering elements such as the Hawthorne effect - 'changed behaviour during the course of a study may be related to the special social situation and social treatment they received'
Agreed. I don't understand preservational methodologies such as this. If the demand for taxis dies as a result of better alternatives, then let it. How else will we progress without being willing to give up our old habits?
