I've known two people to reach their 90s, and they were/are both happy for it. But one was very physically active, and one is wealthy enough to afford round-the-clock in-home care. I imagine for the middle class and infirm, reachi

I always like the idea of tags, but whenever I get into a proper tagging system with thousands of entries I always end up having to regularly "refactor" my tags, which is fun exactly once and then it's just another goddamn ch

I've read that, but I disagree. Stack Overflow would be better for the community if it allowed repetition. Repetition isn't harmful, and it lets the next generation learn how to answer questions, which is a legitimately hard skill

I'm enjoying this. But a book is big time investment, I'd love to see short stories here.

It's not coffee shops, it's everything. I read an essay last year on this topic, "The age of average" by Alex Murrell ( https://www.alexmurrell.co.uk/articles/the-age-of-average ) and it's stay

Social media companies can get some of the people all of the time, or all of the people for some of the time. For a while Facebook and Twitter managed to be in the second group, which is an hugely profitable group to be in, and they both th

I remember the exact moment that happened to me. I was sitting with an old friend, and we were looking at Facebook friend requests from my mom, and we looked at each other silently, and realized that everything was about to change.

I like to distinguish between Programming and Software Development, even though I don't have precise definitions for them. Programming is what you find in code samples and books and tutorials, where the code is clean is readable, and i

Even if you love his books you are still free to appreciate a good parody. I enjoy Cormac McCarthy. I also enjoy the fake Cormac McCarthy twitter account https://twitter.com/CormacMcCrthy .

I don't find modern encyclopedias interesting, but the older encyclopedias (and textbooks) are fascinating. Specifically I love reading entries before major changes to a field. Like cells in 1950, right before the double helix structur

Talking about pain tolerance using "Episode 13 of Survivor: Borneo" is (accidentally?) a great example, because underneath the game of pain was an incredible tactical decision by Richard which ultimately won him the game. (The sho

I would love to see something like this for jazz, which has musicians constantly moving through groups and albums as musicians and composers and writers. Like take "Take Five", one of my favorites. It was written by Paul Desmond f

Does Wordle not allow plurals or past tense? DARES and CARES aren't in this visualization, neither are DARED or CARED. I know those simple words don't come up often, but I don't know if they're actually not allowed.
