Over the years, I've found PG's essays much less compelling. As some sibling comments here have noted, there's a level of self-assuredness that feels increasingly disconnected from reality, like PG's become a synecdoche

For a writer that isn’t already familiar with WordPerfect, is there a compelling case to learn from scratch in this day and age? (Particularly if already familiar with another powerful editor.)

Article is login-walled, so I’ve only read the first few paragraphs. For clarity, what actually happened here? I’m unsure whether a new bill is being discussed that says this explicitly, or a _suggested_ interpretation of a bill by a lawmak

At the risk of being too reductive, it strikes me that it’s most appropriate to let the public determine the strategy: the broad strokes and goals they want (clean, safe, low/no carbon energy sources), but to defer to actual trained ex

That’s close to what the last paragraph of TFA suggests.

I intend this with kindness: normally I don’t nitpick on grammar and punctuation, but you’ve got a repeated error here that’s easily corrected. Generally, you want to break your sentences with commas _before_ usage of “but”: “He wanted to b

LyX probably raised my college GPA by a tenth of a point all on its own just by ensuring I could refer to equations in old papers and still read them later. It’s been well over a decade somehow and I’m still grateful. Amazing tool.

There’d need to be some fairly heavy regulation in place to keep the separate vendors from collaborating/colluding. Intel and Microsoft were perfectly happy to keep their shared customer base on a rapid, predictable upgrade path for ab

Oh, that's a significant improvement; thanks for the clarification! I may consider one of these down the road.

Totally agreed; simply dropping this phrase altogether is what I've landed on as the best fit. Regardless of whether it's being used correctly, the primary signal sent by users of this phrase is "I believe I sound linguistica

This doesn't appear discussed in the copy: does anyone know if HomePod/(Mini) has been updated to be friendlier towards households with more than one adult user in them (families, roommates, whatever)? I initially found the HomePo

Better even than f.lux was Nocturne ( https://github.com/strider72/blacktree-nocturne ), though it hasn’t worked in years. (Maybe a decade? I can’t even find screenshots.) Nocturne would let you invert your entire screen

A lot of US-based STEMmers (at least of my era, so late Gen X/early Millenial) had the experience that the rote learning presented through the public education system was tiresome and pointless, and concluded—with some justification—th

Depending on your location, you may have a local makerspace, tool library, or similar; oftentimes places like that will have beginner classes on the cheap. Granted, that may all be on hold presently for Covid-19, but could be a nice thing t

What a strangely phrased headline. Putting aside the discussion of whether a nation _should_ do this, isn’t this basically a fair number of government employees’ job description? “British government employees perform their assigned tasks su

Presumably, humans consistently using hot springs such as the ones you describe to prepare food either found the experience punishing or simply didn’t live to record the results.

I suspect, based on your comment, that you and I have a fair amount of conflict in our expressed politics. (I was firmly in the “May RBG hang on for dear life” camp.) Nevertheless, I agree with the core tenet here: term limits would be a ma

I think you'll also find a lot of conceptual overlap with Phoenix Contexts; they'll generally all start as part of the same monolith/app but are sufficiently discrete that you can separate them out more easily than the Rails

Agreed, with a caveat: _Deep Work_ is a great book that could've been a blog post, and the final summary wrap-up chapter _is that blog post_. If you're pressed for time you can just read the last chapter in the book.

Totally tangential, but I'm pleased to see TSR in the wild; haven't seen that acronym used in at least a decade.
