The nuance of the Dutch translation is slightly wrong, possibly implying eating glass in general doesn't hurt. Just a heads-up for those going to the old archived website in search of medical advice.

I found a compromise for IDE's (or in my case a heavily extended Emacs). I always really disliked IDE like functionality. It just pops up so many distracting information. Things you type will be marked in red as an error because I have

Also, and this might be obvious, turn off some time before going to bed. I am in the habbit of 'trying one more thing the fix this bug' before bed which makes me sleep simply terrible. Eating old cheese also helps for me but can m

Elegant tools indeed. I own a (non-electric) bike that I bought 15 years ago. When I bought it I opted out of all the features, I saw them as 'parts that can break'. It was 300 euros. It gets around 10-20km of cycling everyday. I

My uncle used to save 5 cent guilder coins (stuivers in Dutch). I don't know why, maybe he wanted to be a copper Scrooge McDuck it was an obsession of his, always ask people if he could change some money with him. After a while he had

It is funny because this is actually one of the main things I like about Linux. My current setup is basically the same as the one I had 20 years ago. Things function and look the same. The only difference is that it the background lots of i

Like the other sibling, I too really liked flash websites. Often they where creative pieces of art. I only started to dislike Flash when switching to Linux. You could only use the 32-bit closed official version from Adobe which was difficul

I have my Emacs setup to never split anything and just use the whole frame (window). That also goes for things like helm. Instead of splitting I prefer to open multiple frames and let my window manager, manage them. This really improved my

Or, and I will admit it, people with healthy eyes that like the look of glasses and finally found an excuse to buy them. I never used them though. Also it really did feel like a marketing gimmick, holding it in front of a pure blue picture,

I think I will not lie on my death bed regretting not having lived in a lead painted house, not having smoked or having showed some common sense. Also I think I will not be alone because of it.

What I like to do is to make pictures of mundane parts of my life, my desk while working, the living room while watching tv when it is a mess. Things like that. Later in live these pictures are the most valuable to me. They are full of litt

Blue lights are the worst. They used to be everywhere around the turn of the century when blue LEDs were novel. My room used the look like some nightclub with all these useless flashing bright lights. Luckily you can always tape them off.

Yes, although, it brings some Philip K Dick-ian possibilities to computers, 'ghosts' slipping into books and that sort of thing. Imagine, sending a highly compressed copy of Wikipedia to a mars colony. The signal got distorted dur

First thing I did when opening the comments was searching for 'htop', I was sure somebody would teach me how to do it there. It did not disappoint. I was always annoyed by it, never occurred to me to look for a solution.
