Being stuck at home this summer has inspired my wife and I to show our kids the classic movies that we grew up with during the 80s and 90s (Goonies, Back to the Future, Indiana Jones, etc). After going through the obvious ones, we started h

Sleeping without my nightguard feels weird now, plus I’m sure the sleepguard didn’t eliminate all my clenching. I have a much less stressful job now so that helps too.

About 10 years ago I slept with a headband my dentist recommended that could detect clenching and would beep. It would wake me up just enough to stop clenching. It was horrible sleep but worked after awhile and I stopped clenching at night

I’m sorry that the both of you have to deal with this. I’ve read many of the replies here and I’m surprised there isn’t already a self-service website that does this. Pay some money, record some text, and boom here’s your voice. Something l

I built a site that’s adjacent to this idea (www.darkpattern.games). It catalogs the dark patterns found in mobile games. Premium currency and ads are two of them but there are many more. The idea is that you could educate yourself so the

What happens if someone shows up who didn't RSVP? Turn them away? Make them pay $2 at the door? Let them in for free? If the latter, then nobody will RSVP anymore and just show up.

My question is why can’t the 3D printers have an onboard exhaust fan that vents the air outside, like a laser cutter does.

When I found myself becoming addicted to games that I didn't enjoy playing, I started to do some research about dark patterns in game design, particularly free-to-play mobile games that abuse the in-app purchase mechanic. I personally

Nearly every astronomy photo you’ve ever seen of a planet, nebula or galaxy is “fake” because they use multiple exposures and filters and software to process them. Does that make them any less amazing or less real. I don’t think so.

I created an interactive sci-fi mystery with 25 original puzzles that you can solve as you go along. It has a variety of puzzles (crossword, sudoku, kakuro, etc) to keep readers entertained. Some of the puzzles involve ciphers. The first pu

So, I just discovered that Adsense has an option to block ads that have "Significant Skin Exposure" so I turned this on a few mins ago.

Thanks. I’ll fix it.

The main problem I ran into with Angular was SEO. With a single page app, I had a hard time getting google to index the individual airplane pages. This was 5 years ago, before good solutions existed. I cobbled together a solution, but its

I can honestly say that taking Widom's Intro DB class in the late 90s set my entire career trajectory. It may have been the most influential class I took at Stanford. I am very grateful for her teachings and guidance.

Novelade.com only tracks the major SciFi awards (Nebula, Hugo, etc) so a book that wins a different award will not show up in our list. The point of Novelade is not to track every book ever written. Just those that win a major award.
