Yup. I'm probably one of three people still using ion3, which was last updated around 2009 (actually the "notion" fork that builds on modern linux). I've tried to switch but the muscle memory for my custom keybindings is

You keep saying there is no difference, but there is a very simple and obvious difference: the YIMBY position supports upzoning everywhere, including where they live. The NIMBY position does not support that. It's about changing zoning

Focusing on clothing stores detracts from the overall argument (which I'm mostly sympathetic to) because there's another clear explanation for what happened to these stores, or what might have happened in the alternate universe wh

Letting more of the money allocated to financial aid go toward less privileged students, instead of being used to attract students from wealthier families who don't need it as much. Also there was a suggestion that it could help lower

The high price is because there isn't enough of it now. If you make more of it (or something even sort of close to it), the price will fall.

I looove my Keetsa. I have the Plus, with a thin synthetic mattress pad on top. Pure foam mattresses feel "dead"; this is the best of both worlds: some bounce from the coils, foam for comfort, and a thin pad to keep it cooler. The

Same here. I have a six character gmail address which includes a common name, and I get an average of between one and two misdirected emails a day, sometimes more. Stuff from all over the world, signup emails, invoices, love letters, confid

For an extra $20/month, my building gives Sunset Scavenger a key to the alleyway where our trash and recycling bins are, and they come in and get them instead of us having to move them out to the street. It also reduces the risk of som

There are soooo many instances of negligent drivers killing cyclists with basically no follow-up from the police. Police all over the US seem to consider cyclists as second-class road users, and trust the driver when they say a cyclist &quo

Everything I've experienced and read about China (I'm American and lived there for a year) leads me to believe that Han Chinese in China are extremely racist. Look at how they treat their own ethnic minorities, for example (Tibeta

On this one point, without taking a position on the rest of your comment: everyone making political donations in CA knows (or should know) that donations over $200 go in the public record. If you want it to be private, keep it under $200. E

I used PLY to write a parser for a moderately complex internal language a while ago at work and it was a great experience. I ended up with very readable code. (And with only a little hackery I was able to write a tool to perform source code

Regular stocks almost always go up after a split, due to price anchoring. Doesn't that throw up a red flag about the stock market? That's not how healthy markets work... Seriously, though, there's all sorts of weird psycholog

I don't think it took that long at all. I left Google in late 2011 and things already felt noticeably different. Not so much affecting my day to day work, but in what and how people talked about, and general culture/morale. When L

I've taken to putting on sunglasses when I drive through that tunnel. Yes, even at 11pm, which is when I usually find myself going through it. I think I might be more sensitive to light color and brightness than most people.

I've tried a variety of todo apps over the years, but could never really get into any of them. They all seem overly complicated and heavyweight. Recently I discovered what I really need are simple lists and hierarchy. That is, Dynalist

Because that's how the web used to work, and I've been using it for a while. But how exactly are you suggesting I browse the web? Not following links unless I recognize the destination and know it to be a reasonable site? That jus

So I'm supposed to keep a mental database of all the sites I might visit, and whether their ads, pushy JS popups, autoplay videos, and other crap are too heavy for my taste? And consult that database every time I see an interesting-sou

Right, as far as I understand it, several features are unavailable on T-Mobile pre-paid plans, including proper call forwarding, some voicemail things, and their cheap international roaming. It doesn't really bother me since I only eve
