It still has it, I use it because I lose my cursor on my dual monitors all the time.
hyperchase··on Instead of Standing, Why Not Lie Down While You Work?
I use a standing desk because sitting all day is terrible for my back, after years and years I had massive amounts of lower back pain and a fairly awful anterior pelvic tilt (APT). Couple that with my otherwise sedentary lifestyle and poor family genetics pre-disposed to back issues and it's not looking pretty for me.

It's taken nearly a year of strengthening my back through heavy lifting in the gym (squats, deadlifts, rows, and weighted pull-ups mainly) to finally see some kind of resemblance of my APT clearing up.

I'd imagine that laying down all day would only be marginally better at best. It might even be worse...I don't know for sure, but I do know that I used to get pretty bad back pain if I stayed in bed or lied on the couch too long.

hyperchase··on What is it like to have never felt an emotion?
I'd imagine that never having felt an emotion is probably akin to being blind. A blind friend of mine once described it to me: "I don't 'see' blackness, like you might think. Describe to me what it's like to see something out of your elbow, it's exactly like that."

hyperchase··on Going Beyond Code to Become a Better Programmer
These are pretty good tips, and I would add one. This was the tipping point for me, when I started to notice that I was becoming an actual, honest to God, better programmer..when I stopped thinking of the work I was doing in terms of what design patterns and cool new tech I could use to finish a story and started thinking in terms of "how is the work that I'm doing bringing value to the business, and what can I do to maximize that value at a relatively low cost".

Steam has supported libraries on arbitrary drives for a long time now. I have 3 main drives: SSD for OS and programs, and 2 hybrid drives: 1 for user files and the other for a steam Library.
hyperchase··on A 12-Hour Window for a Healthy Weight
And some people think that it's as simple as calories-in vs. calories-out and completely ignore the effect of hormones on our hunger and energy levels and the root cause of why we tend to be sedentary and overeat. The main culprit is insuline, we've known this for decades. If you can keep your insulin levels under control by restricting carbohydrate intake, and increasing natural dietary fat intake and eating moderate protein your body will naturally tend to suppress your appetite and you'll eat less and become leaner until you get close to your ideal weight.
