Amen! It's really touching when someone finds a bit of code that you thought would never be interesting and uses it! I've actually started a few friendships by asking questions, reporting bugs, writing random thank you notes on

I seriously hate LEDs on things. Please at least turn the LED off after a while, or have some mode to do it. My logitech speakers in my bedroom have a blue light on the volume knob, which is meant to sit on a desk or table. I had to put

It's when you have more than one boss, which brings you to such brilliance as: Peter Gibbons: Eight bosses, Bob. Bob Porter: Eight? Peter Gibbons: Eight, Bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by

Indeed. I also think research is important, and research, sources, and cross references to actual studies and data is important, and you can't research 10 things deeply in a week and write about them. I feel that a lot of articles gen

Wow. Okay, first, that was one of the better uses of parallax scrolling in a news article. I didn't hate it. It was well used. Second, as someone who used to live in that area, I'm very very sad. Watching the videos and compar

Is it about the technical details or about the delivery and the writing? I find it hard to come up with the details while making a lucid narrative, usually in order to write a good narrative I really need a tight grasp on the technical det

I remember seeing this on youtube (maybe a week ago? same scam, same idea, I'm not sure if it was the same channel) and clicking on it and being like, this is a scam, but a well-targeted one. I was looking to see how it had anything t

I suggest finding a therapist and talking it through with them. I feel like I'm in much the same situation - I'm lucky, have more than enough of the things I need, job that makes enough money, health more or less, etc. but feel l

The last time I've done this for an extended period of time was '99, but at that point, I would go stay by a lake in a trailer for the summers (about 3 months). No phone, no tv, no internet, not a single luxury (and I was an inte

This is so cool that someone recovered it. Reminds me of all the crazy burned CDs I have with random software from the days of yore. Here's the previous discussion where it was shown / talked about but thought to be lost: https:

Upon thinking about this, it seems like it's a different problem in that the people are moving while the screen is not. So maybe the screen should have a camera and try to adjust the direction to the way the person is facing? Obvious

I love how sound carries over water. As a child, I used to sit on a dock on a small lake, and I could see the beach somewhere between half a mile and a mile away, and they would play volleyball. I could hear each noise as the ball was bum

That's really interesting, thanks for the insight. I think I have the same issue that you do, only in reverse! ;) I'm a 6' tall woman flat-footed, so here in the states, I feel like some kind of redwood tree.

So it sounds like you're saying young to mean "before entering the job market?" Of course if you find a good job, hopefully you will have many things you are proud of working on and doing. I think being a professional, gett

Yes, yes, and thankfully I left that environment. Now I work in the public sector, I guess you could say. Mostly because of the gas-lighting of reviews and performance "feedback." I've been on both sides of it, and seeing
