   I love Emacs. I don't use it beyond dabbling. The contradiction? I'm not a full-time computer professional. Keeping Emacs stable and running just takes too much bandwidth. It's a tool for dedicated professionals who get

   Very cool. For all it’s age and warts there is nothing like Basic for a kid to start textual coding.

   For my usage I find OneNote way clunkier dealing with large numbers of documents. I’m sure it has awesome advantages for people with other workflows. I have also only dabbled in it so maybe I’m missing something.

   My understanding is that at least some oil fields have a decay rate once drilled whether producing or not.

   I keep being intrigued by Notion but ultimately old warhorse Evernote remains the core of my knowledge system. It amazes me that this long into the lifespan of the iPad there is really no competitive way to read/annotate/search an

   Insurance is one of the most regulated industries in existence so many potential innovations are just not possible.

   Reading and document markup is much more pleasant for me as a tablet than sitting rigidly at a laptop.

    Honestly this doesn’t sound that different from my own competitive high school experiences almost 30 years ago. The fact that you and your peers bin Duke and Cornell into the second tier bargain bin suggests that your subset of peers may no

    Non-New Yorkers love to speculate about the end of New York with a passion which fascinates me as someone who has lived here for two decades. I love it here. Not for everyone. If you dig your exurb keep at it and enjoy. NYC always has a

    NYC sends a heck of a lot more to the Federal Treasury than it gets back.

    Maybe. The author of this article wrote a book on how a decade of financial crises changed the world. Everyone who writes a book seems to try to shoehorn the current crisis into a blurb pitch for their last book.

    If you want to see a true windfall for hedge funds and billionaires let every business in America fail simultaneously and see the sharpest and best positioned in finance scoop up assets in the BK process for pennies on the dollar. Distress

    I’ve been living in NYC since before 9/11 when there was similar prognostication that this was the beginning of the end for NYC. That didn’t happen either.

    Since Apple effectively stopped innovating OSX a decade ago (unless you really need each new iteration of emojis) just get a Windows machine if Windows software is essential to your workflow. I have used macs a long time but got a supplemen

    The question is as users should we care? If this is cheaper for Apple will they actually lower product prices or just enhance their own margins. Will this result in any superior performance on a cost-adjusted basis?

    I live in NYC. It is entirely reasonable for those of us fleeing here to rigorously quarantine for two-three weeks (I am still here). It is entirely reasonable for law enforcement to get involved with making sure this happens. If there a

    One day when I am retired and my kids are grown up I will have the proper bandwidth for DF and play it. Until them I am an admiring fanboy from afar.

    Hopefully people who skip the flu shot because it makes them a little sore realize that increasing herd immunity SAVES THE LIVES OF OTHERS. I'll take a day of sore arm to save a life.

    Complementary and synergistic. Why pick breath training or vigorous exercise when you can just do both?

    I think it leaves you physically stronger and mentally calmer. YMMV but it works for me.

    I’ve been training diaphagm breathing as part of martial arts training for over a decade. Breathing is deeper and calmer and more powerful.

    I suspect the author overheard gallows humor as a coping mechanism in a conversation he wasn’t a part of so he had no context. Or maybe he overheard a couple of jerks. Some percent of jerks exist in every generation. That said much of the l

    Friend I went in for an annual checkup despite being in apparent perfect health. Blood test results led to some other tests which led to the discovery of precancerous growths early enough to stop things. I’m in my mid 40s with a young famil
