That's what I did when I had a 10-minute cycle. A 25-minute minute walk gave me a chance to, depending on the morning, either listen to a podcast or shake off the morning grogginess before heading in to work.

For cultural anthropology, I'd say it's 'In Search of Respect: Selling Crack in El Barrio' by Philippe Bourgois. It's a fascinating read based on the authors ethnographic study of life on the margins in NYC in (I th

This looks really cool! It would be neat to have a proper CLI with a more fully-flushed out UI, with things like shortcuts to quickly open links. Is there any way I can be kept up to date with the state of this project? Also, am I correct i

Just to add to what has already been said about money, visas, etc.: you’d also be facing the choice of leaving your family and friends behind.

On my 2015 MacBook Pro, ⌘+[arrow keys] are respectively mapped to home/end/PgUp/PgDn. That's how I live. In fact I find this interface easier to use than the discrete home/end/PgUp/PgDn keys on my external

I don't know if you're being sarcastic or not, but this is a terrible idea. A family is driving on the highway. Kids are fighting in the back seat. The mother, who is driving, turns her head and tells them to stop. The car is rear

Usually, it tastes pretty bad. Oh, and I’d recommend chilling your reds in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes before drinking. I often find true room-temperature reds to be on the warm side. I had a particularly bad experience with a “room-

Most universities in The Netherlands do not have a tenure-track system (no automatic promotion). It is not uncommon for faculty to retain the rank of assistant or associate professor until retirement, without ever becoming full professor.

The list of languages is alphabetically sorted. That’s why coffeescript comes first.
