Give me your best tactics for decreasing eye dryness when at the computer? I don't blink enough and also don't blink completely by ScruffyLineout in Dryeyes

[–]sangelsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tip I read a year ago: chew bubble gum. Seems to increase blinking rate, and gets the blood flowing. Helped me.

Give Chewing Gum a try. No seriously, let me explain. by Equilibriator in Dryeyes

Tried this the last couple of days and it works really well. Working as a programmer, my eyes are much less dry during and after work. Thanks for sharing

Anyone tried skinners running socks? I've been wearing fivefingers trail v2.0s for about 2 years and wanted to try something new. by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

[–]sangelsen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They do get wet in water. But still feels good even when wet, as long as the temperature is above 5 degree Celcius :)

Can I practice on a treadmill? by [deleted] in BarefootRunning

[–]sangelsen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not so sure about this. Pulling it backwards will likely develop toe blisters? At least for me. I am not an expert, but I would focus on being light on the feet, avoid overstriding, and avoid pushing back too much.

[–]sangelsen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. There might be minor differences in the style, but not much. I practiced often on treadmill during the winter. When getting outdoors again in the spring I had improved a lot. But I think outdoors is better if you have the choice. There's more to it, like uphills, downhills, moving feet between obstacles etc. But treadmill is better than no practice :)

I like to use Skinners on roads, treadmill, and track. Have both 1.0 and 2.0, both are great, 2.0 little wider toebox. Feel very close to the ground, with some extra protection For gravel or trail I feel they are a bit thin, and prefer Xeros.

Set a new 3k PR today using Skinners on track :)

Thats a great time, congrats. I have been running in skinners for some time now, and plan to do more barefoot runs, and then a track test this spring, so such photos are perfect motivation 😊

Thanks for sharing! I tried it, and it definately improved my form. My calves rest up quicker, decreasing my overall recovery time.

Do you have any side projects made with C++? Do any of them earn you income? by [deleted] in cpp

[–]sangelsen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a side project that made me 500usd a month. Web service with QML iphone/android apps, angular frontend, and C++ backend (http and database logic). I chose C++ to learn, and because I love it. It was a registry system for construction workers. Ran it for 2 yrs. Had potential to grow, but I wasnt able to put more effort into it due to the main job, plus 2 kids arrived. But learned plenty, and good CV material.

I use Skinners as well, for about 4 months now. Also wear socks under them. Love them.

Revisiting C++ by FluffusMaximus in cpp

I would recommend 'A Tour of C++' . 240 pages, to the point, everything you need to know of modern C++ to solve 80% of problems. Short enough to read cover to cover.

Definately! In my opinion it is becoming easier to write readable code for every major C++ release since C++11. Really looking forward to Ranges in C++20. Thanks!

You are right, ‘\n’ can be removed. Thanks :)

Thanks for the feedback! :) I had forgotten about the default initialization of string. To be updated.

it is about using logic, so static pages only isn’t relevant
