My Calibre library is 2 gigs. Do you really want me to upload 2 gigs? Is there an offline mode? How do I access my books if there isn't?

I love Oliver's posts every year. His 2013 series got me into Haskell. I'd forgotten about this series until I saw it on my rss feed this morning. Very excited.

Obvious bait, but I'll bite. You're equivocating. The letters of the Vonyich manuscript are readable, discrete, and consistent. They are not meaningful, however.

It's a video of a "dirty" guy on a computer in a rusted warehouse, browsing facebook on a computer. It pulls up your info and shows him scrolling all over it, looking at pictures, etc, and then he Google Map searches your hom

I actually found the Be Happier [0] article to be a better source of actionable and researched-backed advice. I put a bunch of the In A Nutshell sentences into my general Anki [1] deck, and it's had a measurable effect on my overall ha

The aforementioned situation this article is about? Or is this a case of, "Well, this one obviously doesn't count. And that one doesn't count. So I've seen no actual evidence!"

Deletionism[0] is what's killing Wikipedia. Gwern's page, In Defense of Inclusionism[1] has a good summary of both sides, and argues all of the points I would make. [0]: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deletion

What's your favorite movie? I'm wracking my brain, trying to figure out which movie you're talking about, but I can't quite think of it.

This looks like a pretty sweet non-Windows solution to the lack of foobar2k. As I'm currently using Windows, though, I can't see myself changing over. Foobar2k is just too good. Anyone else have experience with both, and would lik

Those kinds of "gimmick" openings don't work well once people know the game. It's like losing to the 4-turn checkmate: it only happens once or twice before you start looking for it and planning against it.
