How to "life hack": 1) Obtain organizer. 2) Use it. I think some of us like to experience the joy of inefficiency to some degree provided it doesn't hinder too much of productivity. "within the globalist neolibe

I thought this at first too, but that video shows he's called someone from the phone. This means he had to have known the phone had a previous owner, making the unknowing purchase unlikely. You know what's strange? After seeing so

This is... very conflicting. On one hand, it sucks to lose your property and it feels worse when 5 fingers are involved. On the other, he's just an ordinary guy. That's really who we struggle against daily don't we? Other peo

This is exactly how Linus deals with things; being as anti-corporate BS as possible. But note, Linus deals with things, not anyone else. If they have a problem, they can go to him first, but in the end, he's the one who deals with it

I'm on a dinky little Sony Vaio 11" and no-script on FF has been my friend. Best thing is that it charges pretty well on a car or solar panel or bicycle + dyno or what have you. It's ultimately disadvantageous to magazine pub

Then it seems, we're basically on the same page. Watering down is unacceptable. No argument here. What I do appreciate though is that advanced topics can be made reachable with a step stool, at least at first, before the full rung up t

That's pretty spot on. As trite as this may sound, I can't help but remember that quote from the Matrix: "Choice is an illusion, created between those with power, and those without."

None of that meets much of the training necessary to save lives. The insurance company has to keep current customers and make sure to gain new ones. That's it. Only monetary loss or gain. The callers at 911 centers (and I'm guessi

Just a couple of things callers are surprising ambiguous about (this is just from the calls I've heard): - Where are you calling from? (Shockingly, this one is absurdly difficult to get from some people) - What's the emergen

Excellent! I always wanted to read a completely unbiased (and totally not cherry-picked and wasn't compiled by a fanatical detractor) resource on Chomsky's collected works. Clearly, this is it. Worth noting, Paul Bogdanor contribu

Complexity is not, has never been, and will likely never be an insurmountable barrier to learning more about it. Let's take an individual example: The brain. It's very complex, has an extremely large number of variations from huma

Funny thing is, I've browsed through for some ideas for electronics projects (not to use as-is, mind you, just to fiddle with) and found parts at wholesalers. What can I say, they were a handy supply of barely usable, often unnecessary

Huh? The author's fix is to help develop embedded systems by freely distributing an unencumbered tool set with: 1) A smaller attack surface 2) Correctness as a focus with regard to code 3) Conciseness as a focus with regard to

It's unfortunate you've read my post as a claim to avoid actually learning these. I was pointing out that the "x is elementary" attitude doesn't help the process and I thought (from the video at least) some empathy

No one is suggesting that they are equivalent; they're equally undesirable. Snark is, however, the typical response seen here to the also undesirable conspiracy theory.

Well, this is for a very simple REST API and the post acknowledges that much. I mean if this does become a "project", I'm sure it's time to move it to a proper framework, but as you say for a quick hack, it's a pr
