Any thoughts on TechRadar's text to speech reading? While still obviously robotic, it sounded far more natural than I was expecting.

Absolutely. Tons of labor goes into patching systems for DST and supporting and testing switchover. My experience is in the healthcare sector.

I know this is hardly a radical take, but I don't care what time it is. I can adjust my schedule appropriately. What I hate is changing the time. It makes us all sicker, causes accidents, and workers in certain professions have to

I feel a bit contrarian about design pattern lists. These always seem to contain a list of solutions and after some fancy gymnastics, a list of potential problems they might solve. I feel it might be more useful to create a list of common

I’m going to rub the other way here and state that I didn’t enjoy it. Times puzzles aren’t fun since it eliminates time to think about strategy. I’d tweak it a bit to remove the timer and limit it to one solution per day(if you want to ke

My local health authority has frustrated me to no end for holding back data "because it may be misinterpreted." This lack of transparency is dishonest and while there are factions out there who twist data to meet their ends, ther

This can break down with roommates/partners. You may be wanting to prepare a meal only to find out something you knew you had plenty of is suddenly wiped out. Having a quick delivery service may be a great alternative to someone who

A bike lane in the doorzone encourages biking in the most dangerous region of the lane.

I actually like this, in theory. Our local Jets does this and it makes it really simple to reorder pizza since all you do is look back 2 or 3 messages and copy the previous message. However, the implementation is not so great, it seems li

Vim movement is amazing. However, I've never seen any great benefits to learning more advanced features of the application, it's just too much to think about.

Medical devices running windows 7 or earlier are not allowed on networks anywhere. These devices connect through serial and are accessed over terminal servers. The terminal servers are the vulnerable point.

I prefer the results it provides over googles these days. Where it falls short is on maps.

The "flaw" of capitalism is that individuals rarely pay the full cost of their decisions, leading to inefficiency.

Another pro you might not hear about much is sleep. I slept like a baby the night I had each shot.

So far, I'm shopping locally as much as possible. Eliminating trips > 10 miles by car and using metro/bus/bike instead. I'm trying to eliminate one time use packaging where possible and reusing things rather than th

For me, I'm making adaptations to my lifestyle now anticipating what will be necessary in the long-term. This way, myself or my children will not be in shock as society adapts.

Individuals run corporations and collectively we make decisions. Cars are a necessity for some, but many can find alternatives or lobby their local governments to improve alternate forms of transit.

Forcing a full lane pass is necessary when many drivers will not change their lane position when riding on the side. I wouldn’t do this on all streets, but when I’m on a problematic one I self righteously decide I’m not dying that day.

I see this as one user, solving a personal issue at the burden of everyone else around them. Seems more like arrogance than zen.

California desperately needs to reduce the amount of free parking and encourage non-car modes of travel.

We can’t just ignore the fact that a carbon problem will not be solved by releasing more carbon into the atmosphere. We have half a dozen sources of carbon free energy. The EU is right here. Including gas power in the green book is laugh
