It is unclear to me how those ads will help Firefox. Some people will be disgruntled by this move and stop using Firefox.(Ironically, those will be the people who are most likely to donate money) Those that keep using Firefox probably have

fellow electronic music producer here. For me it's not so much about being tired. It's rather that late in the evening I finally managed to mentally "recover" from work.

And the wonderful thing is that you can use pandoc to turn your markdown files into word documents or pdfs if your audience requires that.

> Pushing workers to work harder and faster by motivating them with punishment is not about productivity at all. I don't like this idea either. Unfortunately, this kind of "motivation" is state of the art in many jobs. It

slightly irrelevant, but since you mentioned GTD I'd like to add that there is quite a nice open source project for that workflow. It's called Getting Things Gnome [0] (there is also a version for windows, mind you) That might be

I don't think it is that bad. In high school there are things like creative writing. University can be way worse. In some majors like business studies original thinking gets punished systematically.

I still don't grasp how a distinction between implicit and explicit learning can be made. At a first glance, the two words seem to imply that these are two very different processes. But when I asked myself "Does learning a Karate

I don't think it is a paradox when you look at it from a "better" perspective. Just plot a graph displaying the frequency people have x friends. Chances are, there are some outliers with enormous amounts of friends who thus p

The article helps little in answering this question when they interview the wrong experts. The first thing you should do when giving advice is acknowledging reality and then work with that. That is, you should accept reddit for what it is.

do you actually do that? it sounds interesting in theory but i find it actually quite impossible to "remember" the satisfaction my favorite gives me so that i can reference it against every other track.

How do these games benefit from including a tablet? From what I can learn from the video the tablet assists you with counting points and lets you know when you've arrived at the right answer. Sure, it makes things more convenient. But

You must have caught a lucky moment. Because of the current incident (passwords stored in plaintext were stolen!), spiegel online[0] wrote an article telling their readers they'd be better off if they had chosen stronger passwords.

They might be onto something. I guess many users consider Reddit a trustworthy and ethical company. Such a move only strengthens this image. This in turn makes their users very faithful (as long as they manage to live up their image) If th

Now what? If people would care about these codes then Facebook will shut down. (and personally, I think that would be awesome..) I am all for a more ethical world but it just won't work like this. The best thing a software engineer can

That's right. But then again, there are certain people out there who can change people in a positive way. Additionally, I think it is important to actively seek people that could positively affect you. The case above sounds more like a

It is horrible but there is little you can do to stop this trend: Most online services do not want that users can undo decisions and the vast majority will be okay with that. Ever wanted to correct a post on facebook?

Exactly my reaction. I think what it boils down to is that the effort has to be real effort [whatever that actually means...]. From what teek delineates it seems to me that "the Japanese" see long hours equal to effort and thus do

True. As so often, Linux gives a great analogy. When you start using it chances are you find working with it pretty inefficient and many things seem hard. But the more you learn about the system (which only really works when you do it eve
