I am disappointed I can't give you more upvotes for building and maintaining this anti-bright-light system. Kudos!

Absolutely this for me, too. I find it hard to buckle down and hack productively in flow in any open office plan (which is all startups). I end up going to one of the "meeting rooms" and staying in there holed up all day with he

I watched a documentary about this guy (though I can't remember the name). What a totally fascinating story! The fact that even today there are people who think that he wasn't involved in forging wines really speaks to how easily

This seems like the most reasonable answer. It otherwise doesn't make sense that AirBnB would want to lump these listings into a city nearby for searches specifically asking about a particular location.

Hmm. I suppose I should clarify that these ideas did not save me in combat, and probably would not save anyone in combat. There isn't a philosophy in this universe that would save you from " Whoops ! Should have juked right when I

But you weren't talking about mistakes, being sleepy or distracted, or not having enough time to think through things. You also were not talking about leaving things up to chance. You were talking about discipline and I asserted that

The Stoics of ancient times had something profound to say about everything, it seems. The reason for that, of course, is because what they actually describe is a way of thinking, a way of life. As you can gather from the article, there is a

Property management companies in the San Diego area are absolutely shit-awful and I've thought about starting a nation-wide property management company myself. There's just no way I could be any worse than what's out there.

For me it's not so much websites as it is the old BBSes I spent my early teens calling up, and of course the door games. MajorMUD, LORD, TradeWars 2002, Usurper, Fazuul. You can still play these games, but playing with the other nerds

I don't think so. Docker Inc seems to want to take this as far as they can on their own, and I haven't seen anything to indicate a deviation from their stated and implied goal of becoming an entrenched brand of enterprise platform

It is not seen as a problem by the regular military. Kinda hard to hide tanks and artillery pieces and soldiers with iPads and C-130s flying into airfields from locals in countries where having a car is a luxury. Locals can get better infor

They are, they just don't care. The State Dept will likely issue a ban on their facilities which personnel will adhere to. Other military installations like Special Forces bases or regular Army bases overseas probably will issue a memo

So many things are janky in ECS that it ends up costing too much time and energy to get anything done. I've posted at length before about all the specific problems I hit while building on ECS, but lately I've just been telling peo
