After 55 years of burn out, nothing really works. All one can do is develop coping strategies. I suspect that burn out is organic damage.

End down votes. They are unprofessional and their presence is an embarrassment to thoughtful adults.

I read the summary. It was worthless. Summaries, like abstract, exist to present results not promise results if read further. I got nothing from reading the summary. I didn't waste my time reading the rest of the article.

It does sound a lot like the Height-Ashbery of San Francisco in the late 1960's. I sometimes daydream about finding such a place in the West. If I found one, I'm move there!

It's possible that some here might confuse Web Extensions with Safari App Extensions. Safari App Extensions are not the same as Web Extensions. App extensions are written in native code (Objective C or Swift); they operate within Appl

Judging from how the current leadership at Apple has embraced gimmicky feature-bloat for its operating systems, I dread having to beat my way through even more obscure "clever" triviality. Steve Jobs' vision is dead.

People losing their hearing due to old age often have difficulty believing that they have a problem. They often blame others for not speaking loudly or clearly enough. Proceed with care and understanding. It can be a good idea for both p

Mechanical keyboards can have dished keys. To some degree errors in finger placement are self correcting i.e. forces tend to return a finger to the center of the key. Moving keys provide important feedback directly to the finger assuring t

Write to think. Type some poorly developed idea into a word processor. Then, try to improve and extend it. I can easily cycle a dozen times over a given idea. The result often amazes me with its insights and clarity. Save the results o

I hesitate to defend Apple developer documentation. I have struggled with it for 30 some years, but if you don't understand OOP on the mac (inheritance etc.), you probably shouldn't attempt to program the mac. This reminds me of

I would like to see in men's comments here men engaging in a positive way with these issues, but I expect to see denial, anger, bitterness, and loss of hope. I hope that I'm wrong. I expect to see hostility and abuse by women, a

I politely disagree about spreadsheets. Using a spreadsheet they could easily increase the value of delivered pizza while increasing the price enough to make a net gain allowing them to increase the wages. Imagine a sales pitch something

Not raising their prices to a level that enables their employees a decent life seems unethical to me. This also reeks of cutting off their nose to spite their face. That is, it's a childish act of retaliation for not getting their wa

I wonder if unrealistic optimism leads some people to accept the risks of pursuing careers in politics, and if this unrealistic optimism inversely correlates with cognitive ability? This certainly seems to relate to the numbers of politica

The name XP 1 is taken by Lectric. It refers to the first version of their e-bike. Strange.

Stanford is very into diversity these days. Try emphasizing how not taking AP classes allowed you the time and energy to do what the other candidates did not do, and that this makes you unique. Point out that your differences means you ar

It has seem obvious that too much wishful thinking was involved in deciding that the Osprey was safe. There were too many failures, and the extreme maintenance standards that were adopted did not seem realistic.

This doesn't seem to fit well with my experience. The thing that breaks me out of ennui and encourages me to pursue some task is imagining how good I'll feel experiencing the benefits of successfully completing the task. Perhaps

That book took me from Tucson to Yucatan to Baja California and to many places in-between. And, not just once. It was the foundation for a lifetime of adventure. That book saved my soul from the stultifying mediocracy of life in America.

I took a class in fortran programming for geologist in 1968, then I built a career growing along with the industry as it grew from nothing to this huge affair today. The way I did it was not to get ahead of the needs of the current project.

You could start a e-community for would-be contributors to the next edition. If you give them a way to participate, they may identify themselves with your book and recommend it to others.

Actually we don't know what would happen if a bunch of money were printed. I assume you expect inflation. What actually happens depends on who gets the money. If rich people get it, I would not expect much to happen. If middle incom

SF writers are hugely creative. I have often thought that a good way to find an idea for a startup would be to read lots of SF then try to implement what I found. Maybe Neil Gaiman will write a story describing some solution to this probl

The problem is that it is not easy to find a real sense of community because there is no worthwhile way to search the available communities. I find this hugely frustrating. For all their distasteful aspects Twitter and Facebook do help so
