It is very expensive. I built mine from the ErgoDox kit on massdrop which saves a bit of money, but it's still expensive. But in comparison to other ergonomically-focused keyboards, it's actually on the cheap side. I justified the

Is the damage American Football causes to its players a valid reason for disliking the activity?

I got really into mechanical keyboards but found that I was pretty quickly sated after getting an ErgoDox ( http://ergodox.org/ ). Now I subscribe to updates from these two particularly interesting community projects and may

I would also point out that API Blueprint allows you to describe your API responses with json schema. They sit at different levels - blueprint for specifying urls resources are accessed with, and json schema for validating the payload.

I work in an open space (when I'm in the office), and the uncomfortable feeling of people walking by and glancing at my screen is the main reason I dislike working in the open. The panopticon metaphor is apt - I feel uncomfortable taki

I do the same thing - NAS to store media, with plex running on my laptop (which is always on anyway) chromecast on my tv and the plex app on my phone to control everything. Definitely feels like the future, but like you I'd be curious

It's pretty interesting to see this in picture form, but it wasn't a big secret that you could eat a days worth of calories in a single meal in most chain restaurants. The comparison to home-cooked at the end is a little ridiculou

I read those when I was younger as well. I came away not a huge fan of the series because of the (in my opinion) poor writing and huge plot holes. Why didn't he just bless the kid with "May you be a killer of Galbatorix, and may n

It's kind of funny that even in glassblowing circles this myth gets propagated...where the old methods of making panes are generally well known and understood (see the picture of the crown glass in the article).

It doesn't directly, but for example I run plex on my network and I can stream all of my local files to the chromecast with the plex iOS app.

Only tangentially related, but: It would be interesting to consider physical(ish) methods of federated authorization. Hand the valet a key fob that you've enabled for use within a 1 mile radius and two car starts?

I went there in college (went for the physics, stayed for the fun science room) - what I remember most was an exceptionally well-built Chladni plate that you could control.

"At least 80% of all audio calls, not just metadata, are recorded and stored in the US." It definitely seems like he meant that 80% of calls are recorded and stored. Whether that's true or not will (hopefully) come out in tim

It does sound really cool. I just don't get why the shorthand part is important. Why not jot "grandma" and "poodle" and then tap the pen there for when the interviewee starts talking about his grandma and his poodle

I guess I was thinking in the context of the author using this particular pen for shorthand - it records audio, so even if he's just writing shorthand, it's still recording. Really good points though, it didn't occur to me th

by muaddirac 12y ago
I don't see the utility of shorthand anymore. If you're just taking short notes, you don't need to write 225wpm...and if you've recorded everything, then you can listen to the recording later and take notes or type up a

This is awesome because I like Mou but it had some pretty big pain points: - Large files caused it to slow unbearably/crash - Scroll tracking was terrible (TexWorks is the only similar thing I've seen that does it well). It looks

Thank you for this. I find explanations that eschew category theory bizarre, this really cleared things up for me (having spent a lot of time with functors mathematically, and almost no time with them in a programming context).

My eyes just really don't see any of the mice in these photos as "beautiful," least of all the Apple Pro Mouse. These sorts of things are so subjective. Where the author sees an homage to the marbles he played with as a kid,

It's impressive that it can run in a browser now. When I try in chrome on OSX, the main document fails to load text. Still, with a little more polish, I could see actually using this (a fully annotated, interactive wikipedia would be a

I never trust apple keynote benchmarks, but I was really holding out for the swift ones to be true. It probably makes no difference in the majority of common iOS/OSX development, though.

Very good points, and you've corrected a misconception I've had for a while now. Still think my original point stands - that this UI decision isn't so different from entering a service for the first time. > To solve that,
