The easiest way to retire early is to enlist in the military, at least in the US, anyway. After 20 years of service, you are set for life with life-long retirement pension and healthcare. Of course, there's a high risk, since there&#x

I just tried dynalist.io and it is really nice. I use Todoist everyday because of its simplicity and ease-of-use especially when making sub-lists. I didn't stick with Workflowy because it was too simple. But looking at dynlist.io, it

I regretted upgrading to Sierra because I lost my favorite functionality of Karabiner. But I got most of the features back when I started using Hammerspoon. It's not GUI friendly, but it's doable and there's a lot of script

Is there any reason why AtomicEditor is distributed only as a source code, and not as binary? Atomic requires the user to download and build from the source, which is easy for advanced users, but for beginner game coder, it might be a big o

If going outside to green environment is not an option, I recommend surrounding your work space / desk with greenery, such as ferns and low-maintenance houseplants. It does wonders and instantly changes my mood and the atmosphere.

From what I see, it's a complete IDE and one can make a game without any other dependencies, which is really cool. It would make an awesome tool for Ludum Dare. Does anyone know how it compares with other OSS game IDE/engine? Uses

Working long hours is common in Asia, especially in Japan and Korea. My wife had worked as salaried accountant at Nike, Gap, Guess fashion, and other companies that have presence in Asia, and it was common for her to have to stay at work un

If you're going to be taking a camera with you, you might as well as carry a phone instead, since every camera I know is a lot bigger/thicker/have worse battery life than any cell phone. Alternative would be a Snapchat glass

I'd like to add a feature to the FaceID, requiring the user to wink instead of looking with both eyes open, or have a customized facial gesture, which only the user knows. It adds an extra layer of security. Not only that, you get to

That's why I use both types of authentication / identification, and having more than 1 option is a good thing. When in a situation where there are higher risk, such as going through certain airports or borders, or in a situation w

I was hoping to see data center that was barricading itself physically against the flooding with sandbox and preparing with diesel generators and disaster recovery. I think web traffic would've been the last thing on my mind.

Lego is so versatile and fun, but I wish they weren't so expensive, which might or might not be justified by their high quality. I wanted to make a small PC Case (similar to Google's first server rack made out of Lego), but the co

As much as I'd like to agree with the statement, I can't say the same about Vivaldi/Opera because they have left a bad taste in my mouth when they sued their former employee who went to work later for Mozilla for $3.4M ( http

I've always remapped the prefix key to Ctrl-A, since that is also same as `screen`. Add a line to.tmux.conf, `set -g prefix C-a`. If not, I remap to something easier like ctrl-space. Anyway, tmux prefix key that gets used so frequentl

I find it easier to work on 3 small/midsize (13"-24") monitors rather than 1 large (28" and above ultra-wide) monitor. It's the best of both world, because of large combined screen estate, and at the same time, a si

The slow loading speed was definitely the primary reason that I stopped using Asana. I just tried Asana today on Firefox, and it felt faster than before, or at least the perception of it was faster. I hope that they work to optimize the i

Whether it was intentional or not, my fear is that the seller will simply re-list the item and try to sell it again to the next "victim". It should be reported, no matter how minute, so that more Ebay and sellers become aware of t

I've taken lessons when I was in kindergarten and when I was in High school, but it has never been an easy instrument to learn. I'd say piano/keyboard easier than violin, but much much harder than a guitar. The 10,000 hours

Wow, I wish I had known before I started learning. Moving up and down the fret with barre chord is cool and easy once it is mastered. However, Barre chord is also the hard to learn to play, requiring a lot of finger contortion, and also p

I definitely agree that text is very intimidating, no matter how well it is represented, compounded by inclusion of numbers and punctuation like (, ), ;,. +,-,<,>, etc. Another is that we no longer have the text-based interface in thi

For advanced users (and those who want to become regex gurus), the most helpful regex site for me is http://www.rexegg.com/ . Also the O'Reilly book "Mastering Regular Expressions" is probably worth gold.

This is a great idea - turning used cell phones into super-cheap IP cameras. I'd probably want to get cheap wide-angle lens adapters ($1 each), and use phone case ($1) to mount it on the wall/ceiling. Another idea is to use self

I usually alias 'ls' to 'l' anyway, so it would not be a big deal to alias 'exa' to 'l'. I agree that exa is not exactly memorable.

It feels like swiss army knife of 'ls' that tries to do everything in one, and I hope more features are added, such as showing directory size, which would be a killer feature. I hate using 'du' or 'ncdu'. I in
