I doubt I'm in the majority here, but I clip anything of worth to me to Evernote. And clipping several pages is inconvenience to say the least. If I clipped enough content from that particular site, I'd pay them for single page vi

I have a kind of fractal approach to this which is more viable for my use-case (self-employed, long-haul projects): Don't work half of the day. Don't work a day in a week. Don't work a week in a month. Don't work a mont

For what it's worth, I get bored/disappointed/disinterested with anything I do after 2 years. Jobs, universities, projects, residence, friends, women... You name it. I can trace that pattern to basically anything I've ev

This is an ideal time for introspection. Here on one side you have the company you hate the most - Facebook. On other, one of the hacker culture produces - Oculus Rift. And Facebook buying Oculus makes you mad to the point of blood boil. Th

A link to a discussion including industry insiders. [1] I made this [2] with Haxe/OpenFL (NME) a year ago (W.I.P. that's gathering dust now). Music's not mine, just stand-in from awesome Hotline: Miami. Didn't have much

I have switched from basically real-time email push correspondence to manual fetch every day or two. Basically, when I feel like it. My mail traffic has dropped from ~50 to 1 to 2 a day. It's hard to say whether it benefited me or not,

I hook iPhone via cable and turn on Personal Hotspot, and then on OS X I do Internet Sharing via WiFi back to iPhone. It shouldn't be like this; my main source of bandwidth _is_ 3G.
