When doing personal projects I have to constantly be reeling myself back in from doing x thing "The Right Way", because I end up doing a bunch of useless crap and not actually making progress on the personal project. Easy to fall

My mother-in-law worked her entire career in an IT department of an insurance company. She never really did much programming, but became a source of domain knowledge over time. She has all kinds of amusing stories of ye olden days. Before a

Also, is there a particular reason he uses obscure words like "infelicity"? I'm a native English speaker and I think that is the first time I've heard that word used. Is it really that hard to just use "misfortune&q

IMO this can lead to a different problem: boredom. I worked at a previous job where the primary product was in KTLO mode, and the company was really just waiting to be acquired. Not much to do, and nobody cared. I suppose it's really a

I have the same problem! It takes months, but eventually the clock in my car is minutes behind. I think currently it's about 4 minutes behind.

What if that was the goal all along? Time traveling freedom fighters set up SO so that the well for AI would be poisoned, freeing us from our future overlords!

I have a vegetable garden at home, and there is nothing quite like eating food you have grown yourself! And as an extra benefit, it usually tastes better than the stuff you get at the grocery store anyway. Even a small garden takes work, th

I remember doing this for the original X-COM: UFO Defense. Actually I wonder how the Steam versions of these games work? Do they just include a PDF of the original manual?

I live near the site of the old Lowry AFB in suburban Denver. I remember when the base was shut down, but not much beyond that because I was pretty young. Those photos of when it was in operation are incredible. Thank you for sharing!

IMO most reasonable managers would not blame the individual contributors for not being able to do their job because of a security and procurement issue that is out of their hands. I suppose it can happen, but if you're working at a pla

Yeah, I learned about this a while ago and now I don't rinse my mouth after brushing. Which is weird initially but you get used to it. I _do_ spit out excess toothpaste, which I understand still leaves enough toothpaste in your mouth f
