Seems like this article is mainly talking about cognitive dissonance occurring between a hypothetical beginner who imagines Stack Overflow is going to be a congenial conversation, and a hypothetical expert who curates SO as more of a high-v

Humanity is the species that will never stop producing psychos who will throw people under the bus to get ahead. Moloch does it.

Trello: if you'd let me buy you once, install you locally, and save my data locally and in an open format, like Day One, I'd be a lifer. Fantastic program otherwise, though I remain an Org man.

That sounds so much like Gilliam's Brazil. Good luck.

Right on. I'd add that the value of having such a large and diverse canon is that each person finds their own branch or branches that eventually ramify down to tiny twigs unknown elsewhere on the tree, but that have immense personal be

Not the GP, but I imagine the more charitable interpretation is that s/he is referring to a level of psychological/emotional development, not to a specific fiscal arrangement. One can be an adult and as an adult arrange one's

This seems like an extreme interpretation of "responsibility for other people." There are people in my care whom I'm completely aware I cannot mold into shapes of my choice, but for whom I accept the responsibility of keeping

I don't think I'm following, other than the implication that chipsy is ignorant about free speech. For the sake of discussion, why not spell out your concerns?

For me, precise and binding terms of service are what's at issue. When people start forking over dollars, they will be more sensitized to precisely what's being exchanged. They way the deal is structured now, they're implicit

I feel you. I'm reminded of Robert Kegan's stages of development, whereof the rare individual who reaches stage four, the stage where one learns to transcend irrational personal attachments and instead cultivate logical, systemati

I would definitely pay for this if it replaced physical junk mail with scans. I'd pay even more if it just went ahead and deleted all junk mail. I'd pay a similar amount to...unsubscribe from junk mail.

I've found keeping a diary to be more difficult and more rewarding than it might popularly be thought to be. There are different approaches, from logs of events to records of thoughts/feelings, with varying levels of detail, and t

The article presents the line "sued for sounding like myself," as a direct quote from Fogerty. I don't disagree with the gist of your point, but at least the author didn't produce this language out of whole cloth.

Agree. "Creative," may be a misleading term if interpreted literally and nothing tangible has been created, but colloquially, I think we use the term more to refer to patterns of thought and behavior that derail the self or others

Jack White famously plays/played a plastic guitar, and got, in my opinion, pretty excellent tones out of it, but (a) you're asking about "acoustics," which don't apply in the same way with an electric guitar, and (b

I'm using Khan to learn math right now, and what's even better than being able to scrub the video is being able to do exercises that only call instructional material when I'm failing the exercises, and that only call it in st

I'm sure we can agree that anyone who builds a politics on anything as reductive as [old|new] = [bad|good] is not helping much.

I wish reading were a more linear process for me. Explicitly annotated or not, the better I find a work, the more uncontrollably my thoughts proliferate as I read, and I'm consequently having to re-read and re-read particularly thought

In my opinion, a lot of the discussion about ads and ad-blocking leaves a very key factor undiscussed: that, as with US healthcare, the consumer cannot make an informed decision about whether a given piece of content justifies the loading o

My default interpretive framework when I read something like this is, of course, nearly hysterical paranoia and sociopolitical despair. And, speaking as objectively as possible, I think those are not invalid responses. However, for the mome

What's with the weird righteous indignation on behalf of "moral conservatives?" Has no conservative ever advanced a eugenic cause?
