A lot of people are on Facebook and Instagram all day, stalking friends because there is not much else to do. There are only so many Google searches I can do in a day. Many of them end on Amazon where I may or may not purchase something.

I've mostly given up on unprotected left turns onto huge streets (El Camino Real in my part of the Bay Area). I'd rather turn right and then take the next U-turn to get back to where I want to go. It reduces my social anxiety of p

Yes you are correct. The audio recording any person generates through the procedure I outlined above is now copyrighted by that person, who may then choose to place it in the public domain. It's like if I recorded myself playing Für El

To do it in the most legal way possible.... Look up the 1924 public domain arrangement in sheet music form. Copy those notes into Musescore or an alternative. Export the notes into MIDI. Use Pianoteq to play the MIDI file. (It's one of

Obviously it's difficult to compare companies in completely different industries, so I wouldn't worry much about minor differences between #1 and #11. What IS notable to me as an engineer, is how Google is ranked #11 but Amazon is

Try out the Pimsleur method. You'll quickly get the hang of "sounding" correct, even if you can't hold a conversation. I think it's one prong of a multi-pronged approach to language learning. I used this method to l

I have an advanced degree in STEM and would have greatly appreciated a seminar on income and property taxes before I set off into the real world. They "teach" kids how to drive in high school. Why not teach the same kids some mo

I wish Nintendo gave away free to play Gameboys where you had to pay to get extra skins. I would have been happy to play Tetris with my default skin while all my friends with wealthier parents had custom levels and Tetris emotes.

Cool project. One thing I noticed is that when I zoom in, the font becomes pixelated. For people with poorer vision, HTML and CSS has a great advantage in that you can zoom in with most browsers and your fonts always look super sharp.

OMG, I skimmed over your mappings and macros. The keyboard maestro and karabiner folks need to hire you to help them market their tools. I thought I was pretty good with karabiner and KM. You... are a true power user!

I understand your frustration (I'm a father of two young boys). However, as an app developer it's super tough to make any money if you aren't the top 10 paid kids apps or games. The market is not huge. For my own kids, I&#x27
