Yeah combine that with grinding your own coffee using a handheld burr grinder and you even get the benefit of some mild arm and wrist exercise!

I started using a diffuser at home, typically with tea tree or eucalyptus oil. It helps me relax, maybe via the placebo effect. But I have also become somewhat obsessed with it, to the point where I have a diffuser at home, the office, and

I agree for the most part with bootsz. One trick I play on myself is to make my own coffee at work using an Aeropress. Aside from it being cheaper than Starbucks and much better tasting than office coffee, it naturally limits me to two cups

This was a really enjoyable read. The "aimlessness" of SimCity series resonates with me, and while I loved the game, when my arcologies shot off into space I felt a certain empty sadness. Its great to see talented designers addres

This reminds me a lot of Scott Adam's theory about systems over goals. I've used this in various areas of my life and I'm happy with the results so far. http://blog.dilbert.com/2013/11/18/goals-

Even though I would probably never go though the effort of it, I am impressed and love the idea of it. One philosophy that I hear a lot of VIM users prescribing to is don't make too many custom changes to the bash file that you can&#x2

Maybe I have been listening to Sam Harris too much, but the whole time I was reading this paper I was thinking about the " AI Control Problem " [0]. When machines increase their knowledge of the " Theory of Mind ", then

The color picker site they link to which limits choices is great for me- I will admit to spending hours trying to pick the perfect color scheme. https://dribbble.com/colors/eee966

I am a huge fan of Wilkinson's Grammar of Graphics and Hadley's implementation of them in ggplot2. Thanks for sharing this; it helps demo the power of the grammar. Since learning GG it has made me think of plotting in an additive

I do enjoy the fact that the first line is incorporated in the last line of the book, making it an infinite loop of sorts.

Part of this phenomenon is due to other people's expectation of us. I find it is very difficult to carve out 30 minutes of time where I am not interrupted by someone. If I turn off my phone and IM for that long people start to get worr

I personally haven't found that. I find quality typically rises to the top, and only an occasional worthy pun will make it up there. But of course my opinion is anecdotal and heavily subject to bias. I just try to be a good citizen her

Me too! I spent weeks of my life on that game and never thought to ask what it even meant when they said that.

I agree with the sentiment. I am willing to pay more for my beans, but brew my own coffee at home and at working using a good burr grinder and an Aeropress. The lower temperature and higher pressure method makes such a smooth cup without bi

This database could double as a list of ideas to try on a quiet weekend. For instance someone reported: "I made a new recipe for peasant bread." You could even turn it into a simple but fun random recommendation app.

I recently completed a leadership program at my corporation and they had a similar first pillar of knowing thyself. This always makes me think of the prevalence of Mirror Bosses at the end of video games. The greatest enemy to concur is o

I meant it somewhat tounge-and-cheek, but if I recall correctly even Cialdini quotes Uncle Ben's line to Spiderman about "with great power comes great responsibility" . I also should mention that I work for a large corporat

I use the accordion method. I let my inbox fill up, and then at some point it gets out of hand and I take drastic measures to bring it back to zero inbox.

For the love of god can anyone explain the "good night nobody" line to me? I read this book to my kids and that part has been eating me.

This was an enjoyable read. While I don't often lose sleep over my code, (it's my kids that cause that), I do often find that my mind is working on solving coding puzzles in my sleep as I will frequently wake up with a spark of in
