This one is far more exciting to me. The idea that we can re-create dentin from stem cells with functioning nerves and everything is crazy.

You can regrow tooth enamel on your own right now. It's much, much slower than this and requires a criminally large amount of cod liver oil and butter oil (ie: vitamins A, D, K2 and calcium).

Would you still do so with two kids to feed in an area where the wage for that job wouldn't even feed you, let alone the rest of your family?

There are more practical considerations. Would you want to hire a 40-year old programmer who had just spent the last 3 months flipping burgers because he couldn't find a job? The stigma is real and it's more than just pride. A fal

What's your specialty? I can't imagine an agency passing along generic web dev work. It would have to be something they don't have the expertise on hand to deal with, right?

I'm less addicted to evernote itself than to its web clipper. I have things clipped in evernote from years ago that no longer exist anywhere else and that includes the wayback machine. It could be stored in markdown files that I search

For me, the hardest was learning where hjkl is in dvorak. I think I remapped them at first, so htns were hjkl. That caused other problems, so I eventually just forced myself to get used to the fact the movement keys were no longer on the ho

It's in the works. Forking something the size of wikipedia is a serious undertaking, not to mention the rickety pile of code it's built on. It's still early days.

Humbly disagree. 2x offers depends on how little he's paying them to begin with vs how easy it is to switch jobs. You don't need a pedigree or be able to handle hard tech interviews to switch jobs in NYC. You just need to go on a
