I read it to be saying that even in the north, (I live in Seattle) you are fine with the vitamin D from your diet and the sun that you get. However, I can't see how that's possible. For at least two months of the year, I basically only see

That simultaneously makes sense, and is an odd thing to know. Thank for the insight.

I admit my first thought was "Wait...How did they put that hoodie on?" The simple mechanics of everyday life are what fascinate me about this one.

Obviously, there are lots of reasons why one should fold on a startup, but I'm not sure that the reasons this person gives are that good. 1. completion is usually a goal in itself. You can't succeed with this step, regardless of whether y

I drank Flor De Caña when I was in Nicaragua in '96. Haven't thought of it since until you jogged my memory. Thanks.

I've used both vim and Visual Studio. The latter was surprisingly good, providing reasonable code-completion. (disclaimer: I currently work at MSFT, but am not anywhere near the VS team).

This is an idea that I've had in the back of my head for a few years. Tying the undo stack to source control so that you can trivially walk up and down versions extending far into the past. No more "Already at oldest change" messages. I've

Ok. So you do think that being employed by 'the public' means that you shouldn't have the protection of a contract? That is, if you sign a contract, and you are a public employee, that contract should be worthless in asserting your rights

I'm pretty sure that position, if fleshed out, would seem crazy to me. Can you try and flesh it out? Basically, I don't see how being employed by 'the public' means that contracts that you agreed to and signed can be ripped up at will by th

This seems long on hand-wringing, and short on actual problems. For example, the article notes that cars recharging at night will help utility companies to even out their demand-curve. The article then worries about whether the utilities wi

There may be a reading of 'anything I want' that the poster intended. I don't get micromanaged much. I do 'anything I want' as long as the end results are the results that my feature team is driving for. No one particularly cares what tools

I am made uneasy about someone that contrasts 'low income' and 'white' in their graphs. I do however, still holding a low opinion of the discovery math pedagogical model in general, as it requires more math sophistication than is likely to

In fact, this really isn't restricted to science journalism. If you talk to people working with prostitutes, they'll tell you that journalists show up looking for quotes to fit into their already determined story, and if you aren't forthcom

This is because if you make the slightest deviation from 'correct grammar' in a piece about grammar, you'll be attacked mercilessly. Every word, every m-dash, requires an unshakable argument for its correctness in that context. Pity really,

The storytelling here is a little confusing, but isn't he saying that in this universe, he did get back in his vehicle when told? Not discussing whether he deserved a beating or not, just trying to get his story straight.

This is considered standard. You only go public with a live exploit if the company shows no interest in fixing it. The author receives no sympathy from me on this.

The second paragraph is remarkably good general advice.

And I'd add: make the text "choose a story..." be the same link that the images above link to. Links are cheap.

Hmm. Well, thank you for your feedback.

You've been downvoted, so I thought I'd provide this feedback. 1. So far, this is the best post for this submission. Seriously, what was the point of submitting this? A blog post by someone talking about why it went down, how to avoid it, b

This is a good blog post. But it could be about anything, and I encourage you to treat it as such (although the idea of doing this with Math is probably something many of could more or less directly use). Stupid example. I live in a single

I'd never noticed it. I worked in a unix shell for a while, but I used to use ps piped to grep. But I suspect I often used 'grep -v' to filter the output anyway when I really needed just the non-grep lines.

Babies, like people, start to act differently from one another almost as soon as their born (earlier, if you ask my wife). My friends had a colicky baby, and there was simply no way whatsoever to convince this child not to cry/scream. None.

To paraphrase your question: "why act angrily when that will unlikely soothe the child?". The answer seems obvious: because one is angry. That's why I specified that having poor impulse control is a factor.
