I can second that it breaks standard OS UI like copy/paste. DataGrid looks good, but pricey.

It irks me too, but it is a convenient piece of ready-made press text that can be used for introducing you on stage or in other media.

Because then all the other 99 tabs in my browser window are wrong and I've trapped myself in a mode, as per Larry Tesler: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Tesler I apply similar, but relative styles to pages fo

In a similar vein, I apply these three styles for readability: document.body.style.fontFamily = 'Georgia'; document.body.style.lineHeight = '1.62em'; document.body.style.margin = 'auto'; Then I

The lambda calculus is incredibly value-oriented. Consider that it is impossible to write a formula that injects another formula into a blank cell: all values flow from other values. To overcome this, you need to write a side-effecting Exce

This is great. I just made a little internal slideshow for everyone at our company to get them to watch this. Link: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1d00Cetvp8_4fW7Y854tF... Thanks, Joel!

Perhaps apprenticeship programs as are common in Germany, which are more focused on practical skills development than theoretical learning?

Thank you, @GordonS! I will go read up about β-arrestin. If it is scheduled, does that increase the chance of a safe(r) opioid replacement being developed? And can you kindly point me to some text books/journals or introductory chemist

If it is being scheduled, it must work! Why would the DEA spend time and money to legislate kratom unless a party with a vested interest, like a large pharmaceutical company, could profit from its controlled sale? Can anyone point out evide

Hi @mbrock. Take, for example, the acetaminophen study[^1] currently on the front page claiming an association between prenatal use of the drug and behavioural and emotional problems in children. @fifteenforty works in this area and immedia

Reads like an Erowid trip report. Too many mushrooms/acid possibly combined with some traumatic event.

My feeling is that the "tax" of typing slows down the flow of new ideas in the same way round-trip latency places an upper limit on bandwidth. By this reasoning I switched to Colemak on a Kinesis keyboard about a year ago and have

Autofocus breaks scrolling with the keyboard, especially spacebar. It can also mess with screenreaders and blind users.

Congratulations on launching! This looks swell. Love the explainer video. I find the background cover photo distracting and doesn't seem to communicate benefits. Consider a solid color or a different photo. Show benefits before feature

This is so genius. Beautiful execution of a domain painpoint that underpins a large market. Who made your explainer video? They did a great job.

I'm a daily red wine drinker. Trying to keep it at, or under half a bottle of vino. Wine, like food, is better when shared :).

When people are only paying $10/month, failures are cheap. I imagine low-cost customers tend to be more forgiving. I could be wrong on this.

Fool.com is a great name! Easy to spell, easy to say, relevant to its content. And a short .com! So those would be some of my criteria.

Thanks for the input, @Metatron. Sure, there are all kinds of factors that determine whether a name is good. And uniqueness helps with Google ranking. But I suspect that a simple, original, unspellable, unsayable name can adversely affect y

Love the monthly Indian spices idea, especially if they are paired with recipes. Tajbox? Spicebox? Spicybox?

https://www.waytag.com/ is a ZA startup that's been around for a few years. On a cursory glance, this seem quite similar? I don't think WayTag ever gained much traction.

The quote, "Look to Japan to see the start of this growing trend: over 25 percent of young men and 45 percent of young woman say they are no longer interested in sex," is spurious[^1]. It is based on a shallow survey [^2] of a few

A packaged installer would be nice, but this is an IDE, so I'm not too surprised it can be installed using a package manager that may not be mainstream. I am concerned at the tone of your response and am sad so say I expected this to b
