It's the secret to avoiding procrastination too - if you can't stop mulling over all the other things floating around your head, then don't - just start . The other things will be replaced fairly quickly with what you're trying to do, and

Psych 101 on the perception of perception: There is a scale that goes much like this: common - undiscerning - discerning - snob You are somewhere on this scale. Those below you aren't as sophisticated as you, and so you're better than them.

If you didn't notice that the subject was OCD, not OCPD: Pay more attention before you correct people. If you did notice: Don't start reiterations/agreements with the words 'no, actually' lest it be thought a correction.

"As long as there is internet, there will be free content. And as long as there is free content, sites trying to grow on a paid-content business model are not going to survive. It is as simple as that," said Syeed Ali. That's like saying th

Jailing someone who breaches a court order is not injustice. If the court order was wrong, fight that.

Not to mention pathetic sensationalism (even for the Times). She was jailed for breaching a court order placed on her. If the court order was assigned wrongly, fight the assignation.

"How about the 'OCDers' take a look at themselves from a 3rd person POV and notice that what they are doing is completely useless and can be stopped at the source: themselves." People with OCD are well aware of this, but are unable to chang

Indeed, but that's the nature of people. Equally in the nature of people is to debate round and round in circles until it's too late.

Then perhaps you'd like to volunteer for a little experiment I've devised to find out how important it is? It basically involves a chocolate mousse that looks like a bowl of faeces, and a bowl of faeces that looks like a chocolate mousse.

Splendidly put. I'm a chef, and I don't want to talk about knives. I don't care that my knives are basic; taste my cooking. I don't care that your knives are wonderful; I want to taste your cooking. There's a reason that taste tests are don

The weakest link is nearly always the user... but, unfortunately, they're not a link you can do without. All you can do is look after your end and force their hand as much as you can - password strength meters, salting and hashing passwords

PHP is like a mobile phone that's a year old - it's perfectly good, but ain't what the cool kids are playing with.

It doesn't "border harassment", it is harassment. It's also perfectly reasonable that you should be getting harassed when withholding people's livelihoods due to your incompetence. Stop your whinging today; pay up today (through another mea

Matrix? What's wrong with the "equivalent PC x 2" algorithm? Maybe it needs to be trendied up a bit with some shiny translucent plastic? Or maybe it's the fact that the variable 2 could be updated at a later stage without throwing out the w

Grunties's comment FTW. "monospace good, non-monospace bad, all other considerations irrelevant. Next?"

Looking forward to Jeff's next post - a comprehensive study into the colour of his keyboard. Highlights include the little blemish on the H key and that slight greenish tinge to the letter markings. I'll be reading that one over and over ag

There are people out there who will read "unofficial version" and still not know that it's not official. Those people will not be any more clued in just because it has a different name - if it looks/works like zillow, it is zillow. Targetti

The use of the word 'why' in that title is entirely disingenuous - his whole point is "just because".

I dunno. I watch and enjoy documentaries on subjects I've got no particular interest in, and will likely never come across again. What's my motive there, if not learning for the sake of learning? PS: Our brains aren't designed, 'that way' o

I can make you a vast list of books that are pretty well-received, but still unadulterated bullshit from cover to cover. I'd have proved nothing relevant either. (Just to be clear: I'm not implying Ramit's book is or isn't bullshit - just t

Just out of interest, could you point me in the direction of a guru who does think of their site as just another guru-blah-blah-blah site?
