I was quite disappointed to see the author only has one blog post. I was kinda hoping for more war stories.

The title was What Monks Know About Focus. The actual topic was justifying the value of reading.

The headline is a bit of a shame - makes it seem like an article from the past, but it's not. This was also a bit more than harassment - the article says the offender pulled a knife.

KDE has spoiled me. I installed a Gnome distribution a short while back, but used it for a couple of hours and missed KDE so much that I wiped the hard drive and went back to Manjaro and KDE.

Yes, this was the one. I think it was my first exposure to UX - probably around 2000, 2001.

His book made a big impression on me back in the day. And, to be honest, I still prefer the minimal and predictible style of web site that he recommended.

Lars, I opened this comment box because I have been through some of what you are going through. I hoped to offer you some comfort. However, as I try to type this, I realize I cannot. Ambigous grief is a bitch. There are no platitudes I c

I was lucky enough to take that class the first time it was offered. Peter Norvig was quite active and had several hangouts with class members.

I believe companies should be forced to pay H1B visa employees the top rate that they have for that job position (actual top rate paid to citizens and green card holders). If the theory is that they're desperate for these skills becau

He also taught me something pretty critical - you don't need a huge fancy kitchen to execute great food. Most of the work he does happens on a large cutting board, the sink, or the stove. When I moved into my current place with a tin

The fact that it's using devs from 'remote countries' says to me they want to pay low wages. If this project paid market wages and was for devs worldwide who met minimum qualifications, I'd think it was cool. As it sta

I believe amateurs can definitely contribute to science because advancements in knowledge often come from remixing existing ideas or incrementally improving something. I contend that the guy who built obstacle courses for squirrels in his

But, they kind of HAVE to keep the data about your comments and watch history so that you have access to it. They definitely shouldn't sell it though.

I also block ads - BUT I do go pay for services that I use daily and get benefit from. Otherwise, the sites that I love would go away because it's not sustainable to employee people to write code and run servers without some sort of re

I've tried a few things. I now have a single vault with folders for my major categories. (Work projects, Household management, etc) My primary plugins are Quick Add, Templater, Dataview, Tasks, and ReadItLater

I love questions like this, that make you examine why you believe the things you do.

Guess they really didn't want a headline saying "We're laying people off"

The sad thing is, people won't do the one thing that could probably create the community or village they crave. They won't pay a fee to belong. If the business model was a small profit - not growth - paid communities could offer

I wonder if something like "The Well" would work these days? Start a Reddit/Digg kind of place to share on specific topics, but charge a few dollars a month to belong. No ads, no tracking, just a place to share stuff with oh

It would be good for users - not sure it would make sense for a company though. The third party apps stripped ads. You have to be able to make money. I think the actual mistake was having it open in the first place. You can't give

I love this. Of course I'm reminded of Good Will Hunting and want to break out my library card and get this expensive education on a budget.

The question in my head has always been, is what I'm seeing as 'red' for example, the same that others see? And, in the end, does it matter? I see what I recognize as 'red' and I use the word 'red' to de

I'm trying to stay away from having people sign in using Google, Facebook, etc. because even though their convenient, it feels a bit like selling my soul to the devil these days.

Thank you. I really love this idea.

So cold, announcing layoffs to employees this way. A blog post saying "yeah, if you work for us, you're about to get an email telling you if you still do or not"

I would honestly start looking for places that make software for music people. You have some domain knowledge that could be useful. Believe it or not, being able to pick up domain knowledge quickly, being able to write and speak well, and

I do suggest being careful with your selection if you decide to try an online provider. Some of the online options seem to just be pill mills. There are some things you can try while you wait to see a doctor though. There are some good boo
