I feel stupid: what are the BDSM overtones in "panoptoclik"? When I google it nothing obvious comes up as an explanation.

I recently learned about a man who was imprisoned for spying for Russia in my country. He was an engineer with his own limited company who contracted for local car manufacturers and apparently passed on sensitive information from his client

I like working with the "move fast and break things" people if they take my feedback into account when it comes time for the "cleaning" or PR review, AND if they have the time to properly address the feedback vs just bei

While I think it might still be good to work closer with a tester, I don't think it should replace testing one's own work in the way you seem to be describing. In my opinion testing our work is just part and parcel (rightly so) of

For my first Birthday when we started dating, my boyfriend sent me to a spa for a night. I loved that he just booked for one and didn't offer to come, or asked if I wanted him to: I appreciated the no-pressure alone time. Another time,

I haven't worked on them in a while to be honest, but for many years I worked on a small snail simulation in my spare time and blogged about it[0]. The project had gone through JS, PHP, and later Go iterations. I also spent a few weeks

When I code for fun I often go to tinker with a Go project: either a little life simulation, or a library to communicate with a REST API I use, or whatever thing strikes me. Go tends to be the default "fun" language for me.

I really like Beyond Meat, though it's not as good as some of the other meat replacement options I can find at the grocery stores around here. I also think of all of these meat replacement options as junk food and not replacement for a

I have chronic tachycardia and during normal daily activity it's common for it to hover around 90-100. During exercise it easily goes over 100. I've also gotten it checked. They had me wear an EKG device for a few days and did a b

I think it's likely some of the video games I've helped build. They were each the combined effort of hundreds of people, mine was just a tiny contribution. I still have people contact me sometimes about how Mirror's Edge: Cat

I've been using Workflowy. I used it years ago and somehow forgot about it, and came back to it a few months back after getting tired of countless Notepad instances being open on my PC at all times. My usage has gradually increased pas

When you say it now I see what you mean, but when first reading the article I read of it more as awe and the act of understanding humanity on a deeper level - a physical level of course, but also transcendent somehow. I don't know if t

I tried Obsidian on Windows early this year and found it to be quite slow and clunky, but it seems like everyone else loves it. Is it that the software has improved since earlier this year, or was it just a local issue all along?

I'm afraid the couple of writing servers I'm mostly active in are pretty niche and not public, but there are bigger ones that should be good as well. For example, I have heard good things about one called "Bookdun"[0], w

Not OP, but as someone who also sometimes get stuck in my writing as well I thought I'd reply. Personally I use Scrivener for drafting and Vellum for formatting, but the tools usually don't matter that much for what you are descri

I lived in Perth for 6 years but had only been to Margaret River once in all that time. The thing I remember most from that trip was the air. I remember getting out of the car on the side of a road for the first time after entering the regi

Here's why I would've downvoted it: This seems to be an article on his personal blog. Seems kind of weird and not useful to make a snarky comment about someone for talking about themselves on their own personal site, when that&#x2

I use Workflowy for this. I use my daily log as both a todo list and as a retroactive recording of what I did (without timestamps though).

When I search for any name on that website, I see numbers as follows: "YYYYMMDD-XXXX" (with the "XXXX" parts being obfuscated). Do you mean it shows the full ID if you sign up for their service? I would be surprised if s

Technically your personal ID is not public knowledge. The first eight digits are, which contain your birth date. The last four digits are always obfuscated. In reality, it is common to provide your personnummer verbally in non-private setti
