I was wishing Pocket would offer AWS Polly playback for articles, so I started making my own app to do it. Now that it is going open source I might just piggy back their parser as its a good bit better than mine. Hope they build in some Con

I've seen some sources say in humans around 2% of the study group lost weight, while other studies support 25% of a target group reporting weight gain. Main theory for weight gain is that the higher extra cellular levels of serotonin s

I have to say I enjoy "Shut up and Dance" the most out of any Black Mirror episodes. It is utterly breathless in pace and the twist was a kicker.

For me it is a nice counterweight to the idyllic future Silicon Valley paints, its nice and understated, compared to the bombast of TechCrunch articles hawking the next greatest start-up that is going to "Change the world". It&#x2

As a Software Engineer in London I have noticed a gigantic push from recruiters to get some talent to move to Berlin after Brexit. The sad thing is I now consider it a net gain to move, whereas before London was the best place to live.
