My best guess is that in a very dialog-heavy film, it helps to have the characters holding something.

If anyone uses Calibre, here is a Calibre HN recipe I have made. It looks pretty good on Kindle Paperwhite, but I have not tested it anywhere else: https://github.com/brendoncrawford-org/calibre_recipes/blob/

Thanks for explaining this in simple terms. I have been curious about this for a while.

This is also my same setup. It is refreshingly easy to maintain.

When the incentive to finish a goal shifts from the innate satisfaction of completion to a fear of financial penalty, is it possible that the goal itself will unintentionally change in subtle ways?

This seems to assume that a developer necessarily hits an MVP in PHP faster than in other languages. This might be true when comparing with the tooling/dependency nightmares of JS/NPM, but a half decent Python dev can get a Flask

I have been working at a standup desk for about the last 10 years. To combat fatigue, I add a walk around the room every 20 minutes. This system has mostly eliminated all aches and pains for me.

One good example I can think of is if there is a no-right-turn-on-red combined with an unusually long red light. These are common in intersections with 4 green-left-turn arrows. A knowledgeable driver might know to make a right turn at an

In contrast to that, in Los Angeles, Uber drivers quite often are not familiar with the area they serve, so they are glued to their navigation apps. This can not only create unsafe driving conditions, but sometimes can cause an Uber ride t

I am sure there were also people who opposed asbestos for home construction. We don't sit here with our hindsight telescopes and call them fearful simpletons . This article suffers from a survivor and confirmation bias.

I have not checked lately, but there have been two major features lacking in Linode that have compelled me to move away to AWS: 1. Managed firewall service, such as AWS Security Groups. I really do not want to have to manage hundreds of ip

Within the sport of surfing, some groups of friends might sometimes have their own small set of hand signs for communicating when verbal communication is not always possible out in the ocean.

Http://geekhack.org/ is a pretty good source. The ErgoDox originated there.

Great work here. Is this primarily focused on physical meetings, or is it in any way also optimized for remote/teleconference meetings?

Redshift is great for some use cases, and completely unsuitable for others. If testing the waters with Postgres is your objective, Redshift will not be a good representation.

Yeah, arm and shoulder fatigue is definitely an issue at first. After about 2 - 3 months the muscles develop, so it is no longer an issue.

Understandable. Thanks for explaining. I will be looking forward to watching this project progress. If you ever make a vertical keyboard, I might buy a lifetime supply :)

Good points. This is a very cool project, and it will be fun to watch it progress.

"Ergonomic" has become a great buzzword. These keyboards are not ergonomic. While they protect against ulnar deviation, they do not protect against pronation and dorsiflexion. Note that you WILL still get RSI from using these k

This is why it is important to keep your weight closer to the tail and never stand directly over the trucks at high speeds. This will help to be less rigid as the wheels pass over the debria.

Glad to hear author has had mostly positive experiences. A couple ways to improve his ergonomics even more: 1. Eyes should face straight ahead, not down. This keeps neck in vertically aligned position 2. Elbows should be at 90 degree angle.

Is anyone else annoyed by the inaccurate use of the name "tri-tone"? I'm guessing a real tritone would be far too anxious as a phone sound for most western ears.
