I still remember installing Slack around the year 2000 and completely borking Xorg. Luckily I had ethernet and a cable modem - Lynx to the rescue!!! A lot of the linux forums were very 'text' friendly in those days - I dread to th

I don't know if its still available for iPad (I have the 1st iPad) but I used to use an app called AudioNote (I think). With this app you could record audio, and any notes you took are synchronised to this audio. It was super useful...

Not an ebook reader per se, but goodreader on iOS is by far the best pdf note taking app around. Not only does it have a gamut of styles of highlighting, but then you can export the whole mess and it makes for a wonderful synopsis of a book

Too late for an edit, it should be the art of racing in the rain.

If you like dogs, you should read "The Art of Driving in the Rain" it's a surprisingly good novel.

The main point in this article was that the shark did this after having had babies with a mate before. That hadn't been observed in this species.

Why are you being so dismissive of this? I got my start in electronics via an electronic kit as a 7 year old.

Nice list! I especially like that you added Resonate in there. Could you add your personal reason for keeping these books on your shelf? That would make the page more interesting, and maybe help you out with your job search, as it will give

I upvoted both your comments, as I do believe they contribute to the discussion. But I do have a question to ask you: When do you feel that statistical significance shouldn't matter? And in what context? Lets say 171 billion people get

This is a very light treatment of an important case. It didn't go into the extensive surgery she had, and that her case wasn't for $20K, it was just to pay for her medical expenses. Also, though maybe not important in this articl

But he is not talking about gadgets. If you are a lifter, you should know that proper position and stance are crucial to making sure you don't injure yourself while lifting.

Same here. But I must confess that I do get a new laptop every 2-3 years, so maybe it is getting heavier, but I don't notice it. But I was surprised recently when win10 killed my ssd, so I installed Xubuntu on the spinning disk. And it

I'm a very happy Xubuntu user. Have been for about 5 years, and even switched my partners laptop over to it a few months ago, after her win10 borked itself. Previously I used to dual boot windows and Slackware, but after 10 odd years

I have a question for you about macOS: Did they fix the thumbnail view shift select issue? I had a MBP for about a year in 2014-15, and one thing really surprised me (as I got it for iOS dev and photography) is that if I had a finder window

So what would you suggest? The article gets a little hand wavy about what donors should do - eg the playpump worked at first, then sucked, and is now working well in some instances. So should I have invested in it at first, then stopped in

Thanks for the link, a long, but extremely eye opening read. I has made me rethink how I donate to charity from now on: I really did use only one metric- overhead percentage. Now I will have to reevaluate this.

I'm completely out of my depth here, but couldn't we develop some kind of force field to do this? I'm thinking something along the lines of a Faraday cage, but for the GCRs. Is anyone researching this line of thought?

There are a bunch of comments saying "Why not just learn python or R?" But as a programmer, I still use excel (actually open office now I'm on Linux full time) as a brainstorming numbers based scratch pad. Somthing about the

I have excessive hope, and that is one of the many causes of my depression. Another cause is apparently a chemical imbalance in my head, which certain drugs have helped with. How would you suggest I go about curing my hope problem? I have
