Because we forget how to let go of all this work stuff and get sucked into it. There is a life out there too. some one us can balance, some find it hard. this is an opportunity to just pause for a few minutes. Mentally pause.

This is the perfect time to take a break. Kick back, have a coffee, contemplate your life choices. That commit can wait, that PR (i was about to merge) can wait too. It's not the end of the world.

I read it as "Airlines are finally fixing the middle EAST", and thought wow, that's an unexpected twist to a complicated problem.

Yes we can fight it until the cows come home. But tracking is a side effect of ads, and ads are not going to go away, unless you convince everyone to start paying for what was free services. How do you fight that? I'm seriously asking,

I do not approve of any printer that watermarks my printouts. There is no two ways about that. Tracking is a side effect of showing us ads. We will be shown ads no matter what because they pay for the services we get for free and the 99% d

I don't. I dislike tracking, but I am choosing my battles. Tracking won't stop. It will mutate with regulations. We cannot fight it. We need to understand it and educate those who are not technical about it. There are 3 sides to e

They shouldn't, true. But they are. And have been for a very long time. People who require anonymity would/should/could subvert all those things. But just to give one example: if the daughter I don't have for example was

Isn't it the same as printers watermarking printouts? I don't see this as a necessarily bad thing. In a public forum in a far from perfect world there should be a place for accountability when people distribute photos they shouldn

I read it as a "my language/platform/paradigm" is better than yours. The reality is that all platforms have problems and what is important is to get the product done. The end user doesn't care how. The how is for us

One more thing, related or not: I play guitar and keyboard. Not virtuoso but I can play. I can only remember chords I practised or used from muscle memory, and although I play both for over 25 years, I can't for the life of me remember

and yes, mechanical design is hard for me, but I can hold a concept of very large software systems in my head and understand how it all connects conceptually.

yeah pretty much the same here, only my 'awakening' to my blindness is not even 2 months old... Now i wonder what else I've taken for granted but is very much not so

Hmmm... I can not confirm or deny having taken these on public forums, but I'm pretty very sure these DO indeed bring in the visuals. The latter I would risk saying goes beyond visuals. More "transportative" if that is a word

Just altered her instructions slightly. Instead of something like "Visualise a ball of light in front of you in the space between the eyebrows", she would also add that if you are unable to visualise you can think of the that ball

I think they are actually seeing things. My wife can bring up images at will. She can layer them on reality without even trying. and since I learned about this I've been asking people - most do "see" things to various degrees

This, as a passing interest in HN and other sources started recently, I think, by a former big shot at Pixar who wrote (or was written about) having a blind mind's eye. Personally this article turned my world slightly upside down since

Their site is inaccessible at the moment. I'm guessing you're all buying one right now...

Very nice. I didn't know about the Mist box and now I want one :) As a former owner of a few Amigas (500, 1000), part of me wants one now, and the other part is worried that using one now will spoil the memory.

Spend a few moments within the Playstation network "site"(s) and this would be the best example of many front end independent services going horribly wrong.

I got the PDF. this was a 'side' comment, more about the nature of Google's play store than about the book.

This is obviously a joke, but even so, the site looks dead serious (except for the video which made me laugh with the gratuitous use of slow-motion). Usually those 'fake' startups have a we-are-only-being-sarcastic disclaimer some
