Mm, as long as the edit is clear it seems like a good way to avoid unproductive arguments. Adam makes a statement, but the responses show the statement was unclear and/or leads into tangential arguments. An edit can clarify the initial

I've been trying to get a more foundational knowledge in areas that interest me, namely spaceflight and paleontology. For a long time now I've been casually interested in both, keeping an eye on major new developments and watching

Fantastic design. Normally pages with funky scrolling behavior and boxes whizzing all over the place and all that are annoying but it really works here. Not to mention the adorable visuals. That being said I think it misses what made the ol

Is it worth pointing out that GNOME doesn't always use FOSS for creating branding materials? Sure. Is it a betrayal of the entire FOSS movement? A loss of "all pride and dignity"? No. Pointing fingers like this is more a bet

I was watching this documentary Happy People, about people who live in the Siberian Taiga (by Werner Herzog, would highly recommend). A man is talking about making a new set of skis, and it shows the incredibly long and careful process of s

I just finished War is a Racket (haven't read it before, thank you for the recommendation). I'm not sure what words of Dwight Eisenhower you're referring to. To be perfectly clear, I am not sympathetic to war; war is the most

You assume other people are not more bothered by sounds than you. Also, I don't see how this isn't an example of 'dealing with it'. You say you physically leave your house to escape the noise sometimes - getting a pair o

Honestly I think this speaks as much or more to the bleak prospects of entering the consumer tech sector as opposed to changing views on war. Finding work in Silicon Valley as a fresh graduate is as difficult as it's ever been; and if

Paint.net. There's GIMP and Krita which are significantly more complex, and Pinta is wildly unstable in my experience (plus missing some important features). Paint.net perfectly hits that balance between complexity and ease of use for
