One of the best things about the MLD was that it is a 'real' 3D (well, 2.5-D) display. The real separation of screens means that there's no need for special eye-wear or projection, and there is no nauseating delay in dealing

I'd like to more about why 'WordPress Developers' are such a magnet for the author's ire. The last paragraph was pretty weak. The bald assertion that "Installing a website itself is of no service to most clients who

I'm reminded of a saying that I'm going to butcher: "At the bottom of the ladder, the rungs are closer together, and the distinctions between them more important."

The feeling of finishing a task is a really big driver for me. It also helps me know when I can stop dedicating mental resources to something and move on--which leads to the trap of fixating on one thing and putting a lot of effort into it.

It's really interesting that you feel a collection of upcoming projects is a positive, rather than a negative, and I think the reasons you give are convincing. Without thinking about it carefully, I used to consider having a list of pr

An article I recently read helped me make sense of the low carb/low fat dichotomy we see in the literature, both peer reviewed and popular, with plenty of anecdotal evidence on both sides. The flowchart at http://rockstarre

I love the mental image evoked by a startup piñata because it is so deep with symbolism: blindly swinging away at a brightly-painted papier mâché dream, hoping for the outpouring of sweets by sheer random luck. Hopefully people are putting

That's exactly the author's point. We still teach a cursive writing style that is better suited for fountain pens, while working with ball-points that require a lot more pressure to start marking. Being trained in a technique is n

I've always been pretty skeptical about Nova in particular. It's like an English speaker going to a restaurant named "Notable": we wouldn't expect to have to eat on the floor.

I did read the article. The title of the submission here on HN is a lot more sensationalist than both the title of the article as published, and what the content of the article bears out. To use your own phrase, it comes across as very link
