Personally, I enjoyed T.H. White immensely more than Tolkien, but this is surely just a matter of personal preferences.

Thanks, I registered and will follow it for a bit, but I doubt I can convince many to follow me there :(

Tags seem to me to be the best solution because sometimes a post would have been shared to multiple circles: e.g. a link to an article about historical Samurai weapons/tactics could go to "martial arts", "Japanese langua

I use Rapidweaver for my website so this is not an option until I move to a different toolchain. Will check netlify, thanks.

See my other answer about having to curate content more. Another drawback is that I do not necessarily have emails for all my Google+ contacts, and finding more people sharing interests will be difficult, but I will investigate Mastodon and

Yes, tagging blog entries is also a possibility - I could probably embed the blog somewhere in my website. A side effect (which entails both pluses and minuses) is that by using a blog I might curate the links a bit more: with Google plus m

I have a few hobbies/interests and I like to disseminate information (links to other internet resources, mostly, including stuff I read first through HN). I have currently almost 300 followers, and 28 circles. Before Google+, whenever

Accidentally found out myself (I am just back from a short vacation in Tokyo): one of the guides explained that almost all garbage cans were removed as a consequence of the Sarin attack in the Tokyo Subway in 1995 - see https://e

I think this could be doable, the only problem is that you are introducing an extra failure point (i.e. watch works, support device is down/battery dead/unable/ to connect to Internet/outside of wifi range) and if I have

Can anyone explain how it works in Japan? I visited twice and I noticed that public garbage cans are basically non-existant. I kept my trash in a plastic bag and dropped it in the wastebasket at the hotel.

UML? Really? Most Business Users want to discuss the UI and (if you are lucky) the data structures, two things that UML is not really very concerned with. In my experience, UML has been a really bad choice to work on requirements for corpor

I second the preference for a desktop app - if I decide to use it in my job, I can either ask the company to pay for a licence, or even just buy it myself if the price is not too high... but getting approval for having company data on someo

Thanks for correcting me I am on the SW side and I investigated TRIZ a bit back in the ... 90s? It periodically resurfaced but I was never able to find actual usets in Europe (as I said, it may be that is more popular in physical engineerin

I do not necessarily disagree about the fact that batteries should be easily replaceable. On the other hand, I do not think that Apple's motivation was pure greed: if you make the battery an easily replaceable part you also need to enc

In my opinion yes, any kind of oracle that gives you ambiguous answers is more or less equivalent: I Ching for me is convenient because it gives a relatively compact result (while doing tarot reading requires you to pore over a dozen or s

I have written a bit about this matter, from the point of view of using I-Ching as your "decision support tool"... https://www.pa-mar.net/Lifestyle/I-Ching.html

I believe that using Frixion[1] pens you can erase the ink (more precisely, it becomes transparent) by applying heat to it. This is usually done by rubbing the written area with the "eraser" at the top of the pen, but I think you

I second the therapist. But in addition to that I'd also suggest trying a martial art. Depending on where you live you may have more or less choice in terms of style/school/"hardness"... see what looks fine for you

Even if most (if not all) problems in the book are something nobody cares about anymore in the industry, I still reccomend Programming Pearls to anyone writing code.

Maybe you misunderstood me or I misunderstood the OP. Or both (in my defense, I was writing on my cellphone on a bus, maybe I will be more articulate now). What I understood from the OP was something like "people who share lunch and in
