I found the book valuable in that, as someone who is not particularly visually oriented, it helped teach me "how to see."

There are some breads that are simply delicious meals in themselves. A local bakery makes this, which I can joyfully eat by itself for a meal: http://www.mediterrabakehouse.com/mtathosfirebread.html That being said, having

For two more anecdotes, my coworker and I have had similar experiences. My RSI isn't entirely gone, but I had to take a long break from pushups because of an injury. I'm able to start doing them again so I should get to it, becaus

I'm very much lacking in math education and this seems like it would be a great approach for learning linear algebra. Do you know how this compares with "Coding the Matrix: Linear Algebra through Applications to Computer Science&q

I'm very curious as to how the data science specialization compares with Udacity's data science courses. Any input from those with experience in the field would be most appreciated. Edit: Wow, the last section of the Cybersecurity

Orthodox, Coptic, and other pre-Great Schism Christians fast twice a week (Wednesdays and Fridays), where fasting is defined as eating only vegetables and grains. In addition, there are various other periods of fasting throughout the year,

Yes, the two expansions add a ton of game mechanics that bring much more depth. However, I've found that the only time I really enjoy Civ5 is when playing with friends as we backstab each other. Unfortunately, the AI in Civ5 is pretty

I'm using Firefox 24 for OS X and the vertical bar with social media buttons floats over the center of that site's content, making it unreadable.

Here's the best "malicious" reasoning behind this that I could come up with. Consider the following list of _hypothetical_ statements (as I have no research to back it up): 1. Users tend to ignore the small ads on the right (

Yeah, I ran across malware once that only injected JS for visitors from certain referrers, such as Google search. I believe the intention was so that when someone would tell me, "Hey, you have a bunch of weird links on your site"

I've been learning programming for about a year and Meteor was the first Javascript framework that I used. I found it remarkable how quickly and easily I was able to get something up and running, given that I had relatively little expe

I have some RSI problems in my left hand that prevent me from holding down WASD for movement in games. For the most part now I just play controller-based games, but there's plenty of PC games that don't support (or don't work

I understand what you're saying. I don't think the article is saying that only lead is responsible, though. However, it does say that lead levels explain up to 90% of the variation in violent crime in America. I have no knowledge

An article that was on HN 8 months ago puts forth evidence to support that the rise and fall in violent crime follows the introduction and elimination of leaded gasoline. It sounds strange but every single country the researchers have studi

This is really cool. I have a friend who is a very talented multi-instrumentalist but who also has hearing loss in the low frequency range. I sent him this app and look forward to finding out how / if it helps him listen to his own rec

Learning to fly a glider is relatively inexpensive. It's a very different skillset than flying with an engine, but it sounds like a lot of fun. There are glider clubs in many cities where you can learn. I'm hoping to start sometim
