This is probably a myth, but I've heard Kerouac wrote On the Road practically in a single sitting thanks to the peppy magic of Benzedrine, aka Bennies, a _widely_ available inhalant & pill form of amphetamine.

I've never understood the 'for humans' bit, though I see it all the time. Is it a backhanded insult? Ie is the tacit point that design which doesn't follow whatever guidelines is therefore not built 'for humans&#x27

I think assuming porn production is intrinsically 'dirty' in a way that, say, a cocktail party with 20 ppl wouldn't be is exactly the sort of prudishness you're claiming is irrelevant here. Hell, a family with three kids

I do a lot of front end work and this is a pet peeve of mine. And I _still_ screw it up sometimes. For whatever reason, layout is still really hard to get bug-free. CSS Grid will help a lot as it gains adoption, but if FlexBox's adopti

I had the same problem. I've been doing 100% audiobooks for several years now and I'll never go back. I can work through a regular length book in a week w/ retention on par with regular book reading.
