   I've started using the Lists feature of Twitter a ton, carefully curating users who tend to post around specific topics that I'm interested in. Then I just poke my head in the appropriate list whenever I want to catch up on what&#

    Similar idea as GitHub's "type the exact name of this repository if you want to delete it" confirmation dialog. Maybe that's really what you want to do, but in case that's not actually what you meant to do, having a

    Baader-Meinhof at work for me in this thread, I just finished reading Deepness for the first time two days ago. It took me quite a while for me to get into it, but I'm glad I did - for the last 150 pages or so I couldn't put the
