Because the bet is that your brain is much superior at figuring out what is important/aberrant and what is normal as compared to the best algorithm you design. E.g. if you know a co-worker is on holidays then a dearth of checkin sounds

Personal anecdote: I correlated my RSI directly to drinking coffee (tea is okay). I notice when I'm caffeinated that my posture is very different and I hold postures (e.g. holding down the shift key) for much longer. If RSI starts t

A big difference between Emacs and Raskins' design is the concept of modelessness. If you've ever typed META+X in emacs in anticipation of typing a command, and then switched windows or got distracted or clicked the mouse, emacs

The 'Reserved' sign is the only one I'd object to. It's likely to be read from afar, and never approached close enough to get the joke. Even then, it would be easy to reason that 'fun and games' was an in-joke from whichever party made th

I remember reading about a study (can't dig it up now) that said that drivers drive on average 1 meter closer to cyclists who are wearing helmets vs. those without. Maybe that's why you feel safer. And some evangelizing against helmet law

I tripped up on the NPN module when building openssl from source - great tip with the yum replacement installation. Note: you also need to have EPEL installed for the above to work: rpm -Uvh http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/epel/6/x86

The buttons would be great with a separate :active style which reinforces that they are bona fide functioning buttons with some extra 3D on the mousedown.

I agree and would go further: comments in commit messages tells you the motivation of a person at a particular point in time , while comments in the code are less trustworthy as they can go out of sync with the code. I find the usecases

Also, Canola oil (aka Rapeseed oil) is possibly the best oil you can use. If you eat a lot of good fats (good = monounsaturated, e.g. olive oil, avocados, peanuts), then it reduces cravings for bad fats (fried foods, butter, animal fat etc.

It really annoys me as e.g. the trend in industrial bread making is to reduce the relative quantity of flour (the most expensive ingredient), in favour of cheaper vegetable fats. This is achieved by the addition of emulsifiers. So the cal

The idea that eating healthily can be simplified to the reduction in a single number (a calorific value) really annoys me. Always remember that a calorie is a proxy metric, and a very poor one at that; it's the energy output of burning th

Ableton Live has completely toned down the realism but kept the knob-based interface. When you interact with them using a mouse or on a touch-screen, these on-screen knobs seem skeuomorphic, but you can 'keybind' them to a knob on your har

Yes, but making a programming environment change involves a lot of disruption to your normal workflow. I agree that it's best to do it one step at a time in order to better isolate the problem when things go wrong, but I find it's also good
