I loved Every Frame a Painting, a series of video essays by Taylor Ramos and Tony Zhou that they posted on YouTube. They published a postmortem about the series on Medium when they ended Every Frame a Painting seven years ago: https:/

I've written an 8,000-word essay on my favorite athlete, Sifan Hassan. You may find it interesting if you're a runner, like to watch the Olympics, or can relate to a person who creates extraordinary challenges for herself in order

I’m a big fan of MacroFactor. It’s one of my few subscriptions. It’s the only tracker that works for me. The developers make understanding nutrition as simple as possible without pretending it can be oversimplified.

Has anyone managed to make decent looking org charts using Mermaid or one of the other text-based diagram generators mentioned in this thread? I've been looking for a way to make it easier for the one person we have who is working in H

It's worth noting that libraries do a lot more than circulate books[0]. For many people, we're the place they use the internet, or where they print things out when they need a printer, or the place where they rent movies, or borro

Go ahead and take the analogy further still. It's like people who only attend church on Easter and Christmas actively preventing other people from attending church on Sundays. Even the largest libraries have a limited amount of shelf s

It's controversially legal, at best, and probably isn't legal at all, at least in the US. Internet Archive's Open Library project[0] was doing something like this, and may still be, though I no longer see information about th
