There's a (good, rather surreal at times) webcomic along these lines, PowerNap. Cyberpunk-ish future, just about everybody takes a drug to eliminate the need for sleep, protagonist is someone who's allergic to the stuff and is nav

Most of the issue there is that, due to tradition, the official definition keeps getting bumped up so Samuel Adams counts. (Most recently from 2 million to 6 million barrels) More practically, I'd say to look at microbrewery limits, wh

This was something I did twice a week myself, to help get through college. It worked well for being a way to get additional money in a way which worked with the rest of my schedule, though having income directly tied to health wasn't a

They're a solved problem, solved by implementing fire codes . Or, more to the point, as noted above, they're paid in blood. Each time enough people die in previously unforeseen ways, we come up with solutions in aggregate. Cheste

I haven't found something I enjoy, mostly. This feeds into not prioritizing it, as other people have already noted, "Preferring doing just about anything else" , which leads into feeling like there isn't time for it...

This is always worrying to see when set as an expectation. I mean, I enjoy coding. My employer gets my 40-ish hours of attention. But I just can't seem to get into after-hours or weekend coding side projects. I have ideas to explore (N

Beautiful, I've been looking for something like this for a while. My only issue is getting a strange fatal: remote part of refspec is not a valid name in :MARKET-446 error which seems resistant to the usual sort of tweaks.

It seems to be some sort of not-quite-hardware thing where they download a neural net, based on what I remember hearing about the implementation and that it takes ~10min and flashes a lot of warnings when you switch from "Alexa" t

Very cool! I've been hoping something like this would get active development again, since Launchy basically died. Alfred's been pretty good Mac-side. Shame that Synapse & near as I last saw Gnome Do seem to have also died off
