This is why I've completely switched to using "Ctrl+[" instead of escape. The escape key placement on a lot of keyboards is too inconsistent, plus it's just so far away.

This is the running premise behind the book Art and Fear, which basically concludes that iteration with quality feedback is the best way to develop your abilities and produce your best work. That is, quantity is the best path to quality. h

Nope, but then my sense of smell has been broken for years, so I don't take it for granted that you can just sniff things. My main concern was finding a way to keep the things that end up in the back of the fridge from staying there fo

It'd be great if the refrigerator could track the expiration dates of the items inside using RFID, then notify you if anything was getting old. For made at home items and non-tagged items, they could also make RFID stickies, where you

Wayne Bickley did a pretty cool electric conversion on his C4 Corvette: http://www.ndneyes.com/ I originally read about it on Corvette forum (I used to be a C4 vette owner and was always looking for interesting tips or proj

Hi there, I see GZIP optimization and fingerprinting in your deployment overview on the homepage, but do you include any built-in support for avoiding render-blocking CSS and JavaScript? And if so, then what about handling load order and de

I think the trends the author is seeing may only be regional. Out here in Oklahoma and on some of my trips around the midwest, every little kid who sees my car knows the difference between a new base model Mustang and a Mustang GT and gets

I've always been interested in the Starting Strength program, but was intimidated by gyms and the equipment, so I did this recently. I'm not too far from Wichita Falls, so I was able to find a personal trainer who was very familia

Do any of these USB stick devices have GPIO pins? Honest question, since part of the appeal for me was being able to interface hardware more directly.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. Hope it spreads, because it's nowhere near my region yet.

I'd much rather have my packages delivered to a secure, conveniently located facility that notifies me of the delivery and that I can visit to pick up my package at my leisure. But then, I'm more concerned with completely offloadi

I'm kind of surprised. My dad is an over the road truck driver who isn't too tech savvy. The most I've ever been able to teach him to use on a computer is how to browse the web with Google Chrome. When he left to go back over

Just out of curiosity, does anyone try to get things done with a tablet? With the exception of pen-based note taking and drawing, all the activities I do on a tablet are consumption based (reading, web browsing, etc.) and easy to accomplish

The trackpoint always auto-calibrates itself when you let go of it. If you begin to get a drift, let go for a few seconds and it'll fix itself.

Given a multiple choice True/False test with the statement “people turn food into energy”, I would have had to spend some time deciding on what to answer, not because I have to question whether or not the statement is true, but because I'd

That's a photo of the ground with the rover's shadow projected onto it by some backlighting, suggesting that the specific camera that took that photo is facing away from the sun and down towards the ground. Because there's no sky present in

The offensive content problem may even have something to do with the appearance of their "monster" character being confusingly similar to typical portrayals of the devil (red character with horns), which itself is can be an offensive image

I realize this isn't the same thing, but a lot of Mac apps are scriptable through Apple's Open Scripting Architecture [1], so it's more than possible to use Python [2] or Ruby [3] or any other language with an OSA bridge to access and reuse

Why not just start with some embedded development then? 8-bit PIC and AVR microcontrollers have very simple instruction sets and can be connected to simple I/O devices like switches and LEDs, but they both use Harvard architectures, so you

This doesn't surprise me too much. I just got a Nokia Lumia 900 (I'm using it right now in fact) and from a design and usability standpoint it really impresses me. Everything's so smooth and fluid, and the interface is so clean and consiste

I thought it was a video and that I couldn't find the play button at first. Then I looked for a transcript and couldn't find that either. Finally I thought maybe it was an audio player with a slideshow that follows along. When I realized it

I've added the following to my grub options (this helps a lot if you use Gnome3 like me): pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 Which makes the complete entry look like: title Arch Linux

This isn't what he's doing, but if you use an audio routing system like jackd on Linux or Soundflower on Mac OS X, you can capture audio output from one application (flash youtube videos, Skype, iTunes, etc.), mix it with your system input,

Everyone's questioning Windows 8 because they see it as something that you're either forced to use in a tablet or forced to use in a computer, with possibly bad trade-offs in each scenario, and I didn't think much of Windows 8 either... unt

Just out of curiosity, what observations concerning the way regular people use computers are you basing all this on? Most of the people I'd describe as regular people don't even know what RSS feeds are, and I don't know a single person who

I use a Lenovo Thinkpad X220 that I purchased in August. The battery life with the 9-cell battery is downright amazing -- I just leave the charger at home now. The keyboard and screen are really nice too, although the widescreen aspect rati

Personally, I'd like a DJVU and PDF viewier that lets you highlight regions of pages and create hyperlinks to other pages in the same document. It should also have a history feature that gives you back/forward functionality like a web brows
