Not sure why you're being downvoted. Having spent 8 months in Europe in the last decade and the rest in the US, one of the first things I notice back home is how nice it is to get decent service at eating establishments.

I sat and analyzed the things that were bugging me most. It turned out it was the hour and a half commuting on ridiculously crowded trains every day, the total lack of privacy I had in my open office, and management which wasn't flexib

You'll have to change your username after just a few sessions! ;-). I will say, the problem for me, and I have very few sleep issues, is that when I do try this technique, I get very involved in whatever it is I decide to start studyin

Those statistics are unbelievable! That is a huge portion of the internet that went to https. If anyone from LetsEncrypt is reading, I just want to say thanks. Your tools have enabled me to quickly and easily set up encryption for several d

This is what I thought the big issue was, that the parents were grossly misinformed and uniformed about what Dr. He was doing.

I've always said to insomniacs that they should read textbooks. They'll either end up geniuses or fall asleep like the rest of us. Is it making light of what's probably a very serious issue, I suppose so. This article makes m

I like all the ideas here but putting me next to sales is a surefire way to leave me disgruntled. I can barely tolerate these open office layouts in general, much less with people making phone calls all day next to me. As an engineer, thing

Hmm, everytime I use modulus I need to double check whether it returns the number of times wholly divisible or the remainder. I'm thinking the former without checking now. Meanwhile, my last project has been to set up an entirely self

When I asked my friend why be shared something that was clearly fake and he said "some people share things and some people look them up" or some bullshit I decided to unfollow every single person on my feed. Took a while but now w

OTP as in Open Telephony Platform? Edit: it turns out OTP is one time password, that's neat! I'm only familiar with that through Erlang and consider it an architectural pattern for supervision trees, would you be willing to expoun

I have a feeling when someone said "have you been to the dmv" they were talking about the length of time things take, not the monetary costs associated with producing a license. In that case the GP would be talking about appropria

Can't you set up Alexa on a raspberry pi? I guess you could then have your own trigger word "hello pi" or whatever that you've programmed it to listen for, and only then activate Alexa maybe? Pain in the ass but you coul

Although to be fair, this is an emerging technology which should improve over time. Anyone using a voice assistant now is almost certainly at the forefront of the technology. In five years or maybe ten they'll probably be a lot more im

What would the storage requirements be for a blockchain like that? It seems to me extravagant... and also would there be all the concensus algorithms? So I'd send a message and wait X amount of time for the network to achieve concensus

Could they go the other way and analyze join events to groups or something on their own networks to find groups? I guess the issue then would be that they're monitoring every group? I can't imagine these people are writing somethi

I'd assume it's a lot easier to hire 7,000 tech employees in NYC than Boulder and they already have a big presence there.

Really? It doesn't take much to see that he used the opposite of that advice in order to make sure he was attentative to new hires insights and to criticism's about his own code. Everytime someone comes up and says his code sucks

I can attest to those two books being fantastic resources on UI/UX design. They're the only two books I've read on the matter and I'm consistently praised as one of the more user experience focused engineers in any team

I just say "I'm going to search for x" now and avoid the company name entirely. Although as noted by a person responding here "I'll duck it" wouldn't be bad.

I've been a huge fan of digital ocean ever since I started renting a 5 dollar vps several years ago. Their UX consistently is easy to navigate, has great documentation, and looks great as well. I may not be in the category of users tha

If this is true that's certainly pretty neat. I thought the USPS mail scanner information was used by others but maybe I'm wrong? Or maybe I'm thinking of those USPS detectives who investigate mail fraud?

I absolutely hate when bikes fly past me on the sidewalk. You can rarely hear them coming (I don't wear headphones or anything), and they'll zip by with enough speed to cause serious harm. What if I had stepped to the side? Or don

I gave up my prime membership at the last renewal about four months ago and haven't been to the site much since. Granted, I was in Portugal at the time which doesn't get great shipping apparently? Not that I was going to order any

Just curious if you have any examples of good uses? I haven't seen much although I think Estonia's X-roads initiative uses it in some neat and novel ways although that's not distributed.

5% is a staggering number! I rode the trains for four and a half years in NYC and just avoided the empty cars and never had too many issues. Also people seem to focus exclusively on the negative interactions which is a very human thing to d

They also list products that don't do it, so seems like it wouldn't be that.

Trains can fit far more people than cars.

Can you explain to me how it's more useful than a train that carries more people with less energy? Because, to me, it sounds like you just don't want to be uncomfortable, and that's fine, nobody does, but it doesn't make

Lots of B vitamins in Mangos I believe? I've heard B vitamins help hang overs a lot.
