I use both Navicat and pgAdmin3 these days. One thing I like about pgAdmin3 is the ability to only execute the query you have highlighted and also the scratchpad. It's nice for exploratory querying. In Navicat, I like switching between

All my life, within a chapter of text, I'm either falling asleep or lulling at the cusp of it. Moving my body or locations temporarily wards it off like a snooze button, but the struggle also keeps me from losing myself in a novel. To

They have a reason to group with you for the reasons provided above: quest-item sharing, XP sharing + party bonus, crush quests faster, round-robin looting for non-quest drops, etc. Forming parties is necessary for optimal play and I never

The author has some good taste. Those tech demos and sandboxes were just beautiful with nice color palettes and surprising polish for what they were. Like, in the first demo, how the screen glitches when they hit the mesh and how the deform

I think it's pretty uncontroversial to suggest that Clojure is more expressive than Ruby - without even getting into macros. Just take run of the mill Ruby code and convert it to Clojure. Especially anything that looks like functional

Clojure is simple and Scala is complex. I dove into Scala before Clojure because lisp was so alien to me. After a couple months of Scala, I still felt like I didn't know where to begin with a blank slate, though I was eventually produc

That's how I felt until I discovered low therapeutic doses of extended-release amphetamine. Now I'm 26 and take a pill 1-3 days each week I'm working. If you experiment, I wouldn't take more than 20mg of Adderall XR or 5

There's more to it than just a general percentage-based productivity boost. It's also about gaining the energy to drill down into things you otherwise couldn't be faffed to care about. People always joke about popping ampheta

I can't imagine a withdrawal for amphetamine outside the come-down from a multi-day binge. The come-down lasts a day or two. Maybe a week of fogginess if you hit it fear-and-loathing hard. If you're taking amphetamine at such a ra

Have you ever taken a therapeutic extended-release dose of amphetamine? The idea of amphetamine only making you feel like you're performing better is hilarious to anyone that's ever taken it. Kind of like someone telling you tha

That conclusion is about as silly as a study that concludes that snorting cocaine was not shown to improve euphoria over caffeine. It's something you might believe until you actually try amphetamine.

Modafinil doesn't even come close to amphetamine. And I doubt anyone with therapeutic amphetamine experience would disagree. I've been taking Adderall XR and Vyvanse for eight years. Now that I live in Mexico where amphetamine isn

I don't know about that, and it depends how it's implemented. HN broadcasts the fact that it hellbans users. There's even a toggle in your profile to see the posts of the damned. HN also seems to gratuitously hellban people -

I like the 500ms timeout as a quick solution. Of course, a common source of duplicate form submissions is when then submission request is taking long (>1000ms) and the user gives the button another click in a little while.
