[I have a close family member that works in publishing] As far as I can tell, part of it is that the bigger publishing houses are able to get lucky more often; they're more likely to get a bestseller than a smaller publishing house. Th

I'm not familiar with Chrome's tab groups, but I use tree style tabs [0] on Firefox which allows physical grouping of tabs, albeit after a significant layout change. [0]: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firef

I use org-journal[0] in Emacs as a very efficient lab notebook. I use the Doom[1] configuration, so this is my workflow: - launch Emacs - type `Space n j j`, which opens a journal file customized the way I like it*, inserts a date heading a

It gets grosser by the day. This is something that is endemic not just to ad-tech companies, but regular brick and mortar stores as well: it isn't enough to just be consuming, to actually be producing value for the business: they must

Sharing what I learned trying to find a dumb TV: It appears that the two main options for 4K, non-networked TVs are 'business-grade' panels (e.g. [0]) and Sceptre[1], which are always out of stock. I haven't bought either yet

I kind of like my gray hairs. I first noticed them (and assumed they were from stress) the summer after high school -- back then, it was a single, stark-white hair that popped up. I was certainly stressed in undergrad and then grad school,

Back when I was a pre-med, my first summer research internship was in a cancer lab. After a couple of weeks of cell culture and autoclaving stuff, they let me start working with the mice. They were inducing lung cancer in them to test some

I wish them all the best; this is an exciting, welcome offering in this space. I wish I could find the use for one, but I'm stuck with Apple's laptops for as long as I work in app development.
