I'd think any good "eastern" teacher would be sure to emphasize both the cultivation of wholesome mental qualities and the realization of not-self in meditation, depending on the audience and the context.

In my experience, the sort of effort you put in and the work that you do in planning in this multitasking, unfocused mode is not nearly as immediately urgent or productive as it feels at the time. If you are able to cultivate a degree of co

What is it about the 'entrepreneur' (can we really still call it that?) that makes him so susceptible to this kind of endless, self-perpetuating chaff? What cultural force or common characteristic has led so many website founders to believe

This is one of the most powerful of this sort of article that I've seen during this time of the year. Chris Gethard might not be as much of a high-profile hacker-friendly figure as, say, Wil Wheaton, but I know that the issues he discusses

People go on quite a bit about the bang syntax in DDG, but is this not a functionality that's entirely contained within Chrome's (and many other browsers') search keywords function? When I type 'wik http codes', it takes me directly to the

Aardvark was truly great when it first started. I was an early adopter, got the t-shirt, and received and shared a lot of great information. It's sad to see it go, but I checked out a long time ago. Maybe it was a question of incentives, bu

One thing I would love to see—and which I can only assume exists—is a guide like this, tailored to writing prose rather than code. This article maintains certain assumptions that are held by nearly every other guide, like 'You are always i

When are the internet tough guys of the world going to tighten up their prose? This third-rate Patrick Bateman routine is so fucking old at this point. There is no easier way to mark yourself as a barely socialized child barely capable of a

I have to agree with some other commenters that although this article is accurate enough, it establishes a view of introversion that's so rigidly determined, so reified, and so self-perpetuating and self-justifying that I find it hard to re

It's quite apparent to me that Mr. Clemens' political leanings and the exigencies of blogging culture have worked together to transform a worthwhile small point into a pretty overbaked big point. Mr. Clemens demonstrates ably, I think, that

You know, when I first read this story years ago, I thought it was great and quite clever. I must confess that rereading it now, it strikes me as really dumb. Not only does Clarke spend the interminable first part of the story in crude expo

Can't argue with that. I'm a Thai Forest Tradition man myself. But I have a soft spot in my heart for Zen, formed back when I was a teenager and in the thrall of the exact same aesthetics that have made it such a buzzword on the internet to

Zenhabits has always been one of the fluffiest of the original 'productivity' blogs. For years they've found the lowest common denominator self-help/productivity inspirational approach—follow your dreams! Write! Do, live, drive, discuss!—An

With regards to the startup in question: it's not actually a messaging product as stated in TFA, is it? It seems just like something where you paste in an IM conversation and the app formats it nicely.
