Give meditation a try for falling asleep. But if you decide to look into it, try guided meditation first (i.e. a recording). Otherwise, you'll just sit there, with your eyes closed, thinking about work.

Ending an article on data presentation with an animated gif of a bar chart is... curious.

From memory, please list the states for which its state capital is one of the three most important cities. Hell, you can google it if you want. Good luck!

I use a keyboard with an iPad all the time. This can work badly in some web editors.

I read "associate" as the more important part of that sentence than "cold-emailing." So, just to clarify, you're talking about a cold email from an associate vs. a partner?

On the off chance you're not aware of it, latexmk -pdf -pvc file.tex does essentially that. If you like Unicode in your source (infinitely more readable and exactly the same keystrokes in Emacs) latexmk -xelatex -pvc source

From browsing around, it looks like an exceptionally well done conversion. Thanks for doing it.

Of all the words in the english language, it was the worst. Latin too.

Try not to agree too vigorously... regardless of how valid the author's points are, the end of grad school is usually the most stressful and depressing part (possibly of your career), especially until you get a job lined up. You'r

These articles kind of miss the appeal of something like medium. If you have a blog and/or an audience, you probably don't want to use medium very often; but if you have something to write that you think might appeal to a broader

I was going to be a smartass and put in unicode, but it worked. At least $∫$ did. So that was a very pleasant surprise.

Think of them this way: they don't test your personality, they test whether you know what the obviously correct answers are for a personality screening test. Now imagine what must be going through someone's head when they answer &

The shortcut's E h(X) = ∫ h(x) f(x) dx. So, math.

Viewing it that way can be a huge help when you're approaching job interviews too. When you see an interview as, "I'm a professional; they're professionals in my field; let's talk to see if there are projects that

I disagree. A small nearly impossible to encounter edge case error may or may not be worth fixing in a program, but it invalidates a proof.

"I don't normally like [style of restaurant] but this one was fantastic!" is usually informative but not as intended.

It's also possible that the "popular" user has high karma because he or she is good at timing submissions.

This is a press release written by someone in the university's PR department (essentially; I don't know exactly what UCLA technically calls it). If the faculty involved in the research were at all smart, they had as little to do

I still use the left alt for M-x, etc but, admittedly, you probably use alt more than I do.

It's less awkward on a laptop keyboard than on a desktop, but it feels pretty natural at this point (I've been using it for 7 or 8 years now). Don't you have to use your thumbs to hit alt/meta anyway?

I've never understood the caps lock/control switch; swapping the ctrl and alt on one side of the keyboard just feels so much more natural to me: left thumb is alt, right thumb is ctrl.

This article is way off from what I thought was the consensus; there were a shit ton of grant dollars going into CA universities from the US govt, and silicon valley is where it is because Stanford (I'm simplifying a lot and ignoring o

To be honest, I've thought of Google for the last few years as what the NSA would become if it were were privatized and publicly listed. PRISMail might even be ad free! edit: clarity

Sometimes (rarely) I plan to revise a long email and want the drafts versioned. I also keep config files (e.g. .muttrc) and some longer reports in the same parent directory (letters of recommendation, short essays, etc) and I want those fi

Giving the 'showdead' option is a form of openness. Anyone posting a new article gets dumped to '/new', so it may get visited more than one would think; it would be interesting to see some data on how frequently it
