I stared at the animated example for nearly two hours last night. I did get the one leg inside of the other donut, but it didn't /look/ like the animated example, so I disregarded it. Thank you -- "not symmetrical" did not occur to me -- it

This is probably a bad thing to post on a thread about visualizing inverting a surface, but since I've been making my clothes for over 2 decades, I had to check this out. So I took off my trousers and pinned the cuffs together along the cir

The advice I read (somewhere, so long ago I don't remember) is that sometimes when you think you're hungry or craving something, you're really thirsty. This has worked well for me for many years, and usually means I don't end up eating anyt

I am struggling with your definition of free will, here. I read that stub four times, and I fail to see how preconscious brain activity proves or denies the existence of rational, conscious decisions over choices? There's not enough detail

I graduated in 1993 with roughly 45,000 USD in college loans. I sent in my last payment in the summer of 2006. Since I had a year before I had to start paying them, that's about 12 years.

Sure, it's all wine and roses... until the day you find yourself fighting with your spouse over a bug. It happens.

Funny, I say this from time to time. Every time, it is meant as an ad-hominem. Because my schedule is often packed, and it astonishes me what sorts of antics other people get up to with their resources? No, not really. Typically because the

Did he clear the browsing data, too? I don't use Chromium, but I've seen similar requests with other browsers. The only way I have found to get the browser to stop sending the requests is to zorch all the browsing history, saved cookies, ca

I grew up poor. Money scares me. Whenever I buy something, even essentials like groceries, it makes me flushed and dizzy and kinda sick to my stomach. But now that I have the means to buy non-essentials, I feel compelled to optimize. Someti

I am quite happy with my illusory inferiority. Deal with discontent by trying to outrun it, and you'll never run out of things to do.

I also recommend DataMapper. You don't mention a framework, but Sinatra is very simple and a good choice for banging out a web app fast. Start with the main page -- whatever you (or your users, if you plan to have them) will be looking at

Not always true. I've seen a number of apps leave cruft on the filesystem when dragged into the Trash.

There are only two problems with this article. First, of the significant number of applications I have installed under OS X, I can count on one hand the number that came with a util for removing them. There are ways around this (eg, lsbom|x

Here's an experiment: start shaving your legs, plucking your eyebrows and having other bits waxed. I suspect that the amount of time required to keep one's appendages hairless would fill up some of that delta of hours worked. Then there's m

Carboxymethyl cellulose! This article is good, but flawed. There are no conclusive studies that link higher intakes of fat to higher rates of heart disease... but higher intakes of fat AND carbohydrates are a different story. Read this: ht
