That's entirely the text of the article. But your headline is a lot less punchy than his.

I'm a college professor. I try to teach my students enough that they know what to Google, and that they can understand and use the result. I can't teach nearly everything they might need in the future, but I can give them the foun

I've talked about this as a research idea in the past. Something about someone observing you work, even if it's only barely, gives a level of accountability. Also, it looks like you start and end your 50 minute focus session with

Right. It's not what all the best and brightest are doing. It's what people like to read about, and what we want to be doing, even if most of what we do isn't that.

Makes sense. SSDs are bigger and cheaper than ever. Not as much need for spinning metal drives. Not that the need is gone, but most people can probably get by with a single large SSD where before they need an SSD and HDD to store media. Sti

Does that mean that Docker for Windows will no longer require Hyper-V? And therefore will be available for Windows home editions?

That appears to be the point.

Scott Hanselman recently posted about his experiences with the open source artificial pancreas [1]. Interesting that this article would come up so shortly after. [1] https://www.hanselman.com/blog/OpenSourceArtificialPa

Pihole is the only blocker I have found that passes the wife test. Every thing else I've tried on her computer has ended in frustration.

And it's not just research, but several different research projects in various stages. I would feel lucky (but also a bit panicky) if I had just one research project to worry about at a time. It's extremely hard to stay organized

You can install extensions from the chrome web store. All the ones I have tried have worked.

The author's found arguments of separating content from presentation is only part of the reason I use LaTeX. I use LaTeX and other markup languages (mainly AsciiDoc) when I can, as opposed to using a word processor, because I have foun

Pandoc and AsciiDoctor are fairly similar in their purpose. Pandoc aims to provide conversion between a bunch of different formats, while AsciiDoctor primarily focuses on the AsciiDoc format, a "competitor" for markdown. I prefer

I wonder if writing like this, where you don't really get to what the article is about until you're well into it, are because of advertising. I imagine people are more likely to spend more time on the page if they can't it al

I think it's largely that bullhorn. Before the Internet, you might read a magazine article or hear a news story once in while, but now that (almost) everybody can have a global voice, there are a lot more voices complaining about every

I started using the Brave browser this week, and it is amazing the difference it makes to have that blocked.

To me, that's what the author is saying with "ugly code survives." You have an ugly 20k line codebase that survives because you can't touch it without breaking something.

Maybe make it a two-step process to add people to a group. Sure, show the list of friends to suggest, but make the "adding friends" page separate, so if you accidentally click, you're still a step away from adding someone.

It's funny because the only reason I know of Nautilus on Ubuntu is from installing Dropbox. To use the Dropbox daemon on Ubuntu you have to install it and then restart Nautilus.

I love AsciiDoc and I use it wherever I can. I'd bet the reason for using Markdown has more to do with mindshare than anything else. Plus, Pandoc is a great tool for converting Markdown to anything else. What I really like about AsciiD

That might be intentional. We're used to seeing people walk, so it would be easy to point out flaws in transformed video of people walking. With the unusual movements, we attribute it to the moves because we're not used to seeing

Ya, I've been using Asciidoctor and Asciidoctor-pdf for long time. Those are some awesome tools, too.

I love pandoc. I've been using it intermittently for years to turn my Markdown and org-mode documents into other formats. Just wish it would take Asciidoc as an input format.
