This is a weird sort of violence. He seems to be equating violence with influence. The woman who taught me to read fed her identity and was a great aid in developing my own identity. There is no hostility or harm to be found in this, nor

One thing that I have found to help some is to spend a minute daydreaming about having successfully completed the task at hand. It increases my motivation to start some. Once started, I find that it's actually a little easier to cont

This would not be the first bad decision YC has made in choosing a president. Ralston's ego and appalling treatment of a female college on a YC video shortly before he was appointed president was infuriating.

I'm afraid not. It's the best I've been able to come up with after 76 years of dealing with ADHD. I organize my life within an outliner. It's specialized for academic projects, but it works well for me as a tool to or

Putting the key idea last after building up the essentials is a common geek failure mode. It's a bad idea because it discourages readers from finishing. It leads directly to TL;DR.

What we are talking about here is Organizing and Sustaining a Directed Effort. You've got the Directed Effort and the Organizing, but Sustaining needs some attention. For me that means reviewing my projects every morning, noting prog

What your title actually says is given a man and a woman the woman will be a better empathizer. I don't think that not what you mean.

Steller Jays are also approachable. I'm a camp host. One started aggressively seeking food from campers. I took a close look at it and saw the one of the recent forest fires had damaged its feathers. It was desperate for food. I r

Here's help. Its name is three words. First word begins with e. Second word begins with w. Look for "Academic Writing". Having to do this is so silly and frustrating.

It certainly was ignored at the USGS where the Information System Division threatened to remove it unless people started using it. It was ignored because there weren't compelling applications. When the web arrived, it was an almost in

You both are right. Basilisk II is a macOS emulator. I run macOS 8.1 on it. I still have my original HC disk somewhere and Danny Goodman's great book on HC script. I probably should have said that I run HC on macOS 8.1 in Basilisk I

We all see the elephant in different ways. For me the major milestones were: FORTRAN IBM's Timesharing OS (the 1st step in personal computing) The end of "GOTO" The desktop user interface The creation of a huge library of av

Mac software requires a different mind set than traditional programming. Programming the Mac completely changed my perspective on programming. I was never the same afterwards.

I don't recall that, but it seem quite likely. I still use HC in Basilisk II sometimes. Dragging out Xcode for something quick and easy is overkill.

I highlight important points, then take a snapshot of the highlight, paste it into an outliner, and add my thoughts about the point to the same item in the outliner. My reader can also display other file types and webpages, so I treat them

A huge difference between HC and the web browser: almost anyone would make a HC stack, creating on the web is largely unavailable for most folks. HC was about creating not browsing.

This won't work if he just hires a stooge. I don't think his ego will allow him to divorce himself from Twitter.

The WEC was wonderful! What the video didn't say was that the WEC was a community built book. We (the folks who owned one) sent in suggestions for more content, and the book grew organically at a tremendous rate. So, a new version c

If I understand your objection, I don't think it is a problem. Wouldn't the preview et. al. be on the web page with the sales pitch? Only after the user was satisfied with what was being offered on that page, would the user requ

In my personal experience, I never read HN (or other forum) posts on India because the headline style of Indian news media is too obscure. I'm sure it's quite meaningful to Indians, but not to me.

I hesitate to mention my own program. IMHO the first step to dealing with ADHD (or ADD as it is now often called) is to understand what it is. ADHD and ADD tell us nothing useful. Consider instead: difficulty organizing and sustaining

I don't actually begrudge Apple's cut. I do strongly resent its failure to provide a useful way to find apps that I might want but don't know about. If new app stores solve this issue, then I'm all for them.

It's what he is doing that is important. Reading about the man himself is nauseating. Again, what he is doing is very important, and it needs to be discussed.
