Not to step on any toes here (I've starred whisperspeech b/c it really is amazing and I intend to use it), but you should also check out Tortoise [1]. IMO the quality is a little better (for now) but it is painfully slow, even wi

I'm seeing a lot of parenting advice here that is probably true, but has the potential for a catastrophic downside. It is likely that a 9 year old isn't interested in the work that goes into game dev, yes, but it is possible

Yeah but like, how do you change the rules when the people who can make the rules are the ones who made the rules because they like it that way? Kinda feels like asking the king to ditch the crown because "yaknow, it's the right

I hear you, and I think it's a fair thing to establish for oneself what constitutes effective communication. The question I would put to you though is this: what is the value of what was said, and following that, what effect is your li

So like, here's the thing with the overdose crisis - it is in fact just like the dangerous chemicals being put in a jar. It's actually specifically that. The recent spike in drug overdoses has nearly nothing to do with people goi

Stumbleupon! What a gleaming ray of sunshine in the vast landscape of the web! I agree with you that it couldn't survive today, but I often wonder why . If I had access to stumbleupon as it was, I would absolutely be using it - but

I feel like my ADD makes the soul-crushing busywork thing way more of a motivator. Half of what I do at work is just an upgraded version of the things I do to go really far out of my way not to do a thing twice. There's another bene

I found it notable that the linked RHEL post had zero mention of the why of it. Seems like a glaring omission.

Article 1 Section 1 is a good place to start. The system of checks and balances and the concept for the structure and format of representative government has proven itself incapable of being effective in the modern era. We get nothing done
