I don't like this kind of article. It tends to be very verbose but doesn't really have a point.

It's a meditation on the meaning and practise of "rest". I can imagine that wouldn't appeal to everyone. Perhaps it helps to see it a collection of small points.

I cannot read this on my phone. The text jumps up and down as I scroll.

I only had 1 slight jump on Android/Firefox.
When I scroll past the title it jumps to the main paragraph. This seems to be the only jumps for me.
If you continuously scroll up/down around that point it is really annoying.
Page positioning is an important feature but more often used for flash rather than function.

It seemed to stop once I scrolled down far enough into the article. But it was jarring and unnecessary.

Can anybody suggest a simple cli tool (besides curl ofc) for calling REST endpoints, since this article didn't provide that ;)

I can't help you with REST, but I can show you how to make a SOAP request

Hi, you may like Hurl [1] it's a cli based on curl to make REST call, add asserts on results, chains requests etc... I'm one of the maintainer

If you rephrase that to tools which deals with what the endpoints emits there is a boatload. Most emits JSON but XML can be found as well.
Personally I use jaq. Gojq is nice as well. Both. Inspired by the original ja. You can find many lists[1].
I would especially point out jid[2] which often comes in handy to explore apis.
Or if we stay at the http calling level and the command line: wget or fetch.
If you include scripting languages then most http libraries will do. With Python a simple approach would be "python -m json.tool".

>As an adolescent, I remember sleeping eight-, nine-, 10-hour periods. Now if I can do two or three hours at a stretch, I feel vaguely triumphant.
Wow. So little sleep is very bad for health (mental and physical).

I think he does more than one of these stretches at a time.

Well, he's 88.

I think he's saying most people his age need to pee several times a night. Reminds me of being a new-ish parent. Not something I want to revisit in a hurry!

As long as you can get right back to sleep after you're woken by pee or whatever, it's not unhealthy.

Oh boy, Joseph Epstein.
I can't be creative without sleep. My dreams rarely make sense, and I sleep less as I get older as the author mentioned, but the little rest I do get is impactful on nearly every aspect of my life in work, exercise, mood, etc.
An article was trending on here recently about how our brains reset with sleep[1].
