   I've been wishing for years that this would become available on Kindle. My commute wouldn't allow me to easily lug around such a tome, so I have yet to read it despite its obvious quality. I don't understand why a book publ

   I live in a 300sf studio in a tenement building built in 1917. There's a single overhead glass dome fixture for each room, but with 10ft ceilings they don't shed much light at all. I've added several hue lamps around aimed

   I used to get something like this, except I described it more like a "burning" behind my eyes. My optometrist recommended reading glasses for computer use. During the day, I wear glasses for nearsightedness, and it turns out tha

   fyi that link redirects to pg's homepage for me, since it's erroneously picking up the `);` (auto-linking is hard!) Here's the link, for those who are lazy like me: http://www.paulgraham.com/schlep.html

   Anyone aware of similar maps for Boston's T system? (as the oldest subway system in America, its stations have many quirks)

    not saying the parent poster's solution would 100% work, but as an anecdote: I live in Boston. It snows here and I do often buy more than one bag of groceries at a time. Fortunately, I just walk two blocks down the street and go into

    Nobody defending the brutalist city hall building in Boston, I see... > I somehow think that if you could populate the Plaza with more gardens, and make it feel more part of everyday life — which they’ve tried to do with farmers’ markets

    We use GitHub Enterprise for our git hosting, code review, and issue tracking, but OpenGrok[1] for code perusal. It's indispensable, though this looks like it could be a useful intermediary. [1] http://opengrok.github.io&#x

    Someone recently mentioned horses as a good analogy. Cars replaced horses; now horses are mostly not allowed on roads, and most people do not own horses. However, horse enthusiasts are still able to own horses and ride them, albeit in cer

    Sounds interesting. When I got an NFC-enabled phone, I was excited to use Google Wallet, until I found out that Verizon blocks it. At least with a physical card, I don't have to deal with Verizon!

    I dunno, I recently bought a fountain pen and have been using it everywhere. It's just nicer and easier to write with. Short notes, long notes, journals, books, whatever.

    Does anyone know of a similar tool for Python? Not trying to start a Ruby/Python fight or anything; Python just happens to be my preferred language.
