I read lots of non fiction books. I think the same. Most of them could condense it's contents in a couple of chapters. It would be great to have modular books, like Emacs manual. If sections where independent modules you could rearange

I had the same problem. It makes sense tot think about it in terms of space. If you never speak about yourself the other person "is taking up all the space". Speaking about yourself, or at least choosing topics proactively can imp

Thanks for your comment. I'm really interested in this topic. How do you know the web server is Django? I searched but couldn't find this. Why would they use Django? I did some small projects in it but I assumed it wasn't ver

I like org-mode but what I like the most is the whole Emacs ecosystem. You can tweak org-mode and customized to your liking. You can think of org-mode as interactive markup language. It has a lot of features for managing TODOs but what I li

I love keeping a personal diary. Typically, I write around 500-1000 words daily, but there are days when I let myself go and write up to 3000 or more. Over the course of a year, this adds up to about +200_000 words. I used to be very disorg

This video is great. Almost all my potential accidents that ended in a deep sight were in really familiar places. I have a side job delivering pizzas on a motorcycle. Recently I had an accident by myself, I slipped out of the road but not t

I am really interested in this topic: hosting and managing forums. I don't want this technology and the kind of interaction between users to totally die so I want to learn to be semi-competent in it. Doing archaeology through old forum

There is a torrent with a large compressed dataset with reddit's text, I remember it was ~2TB. I can't find the url right now because it was discussed in a reddit thread.

Well I think undergrad just stamps a label in your forehead. What you do in your free time, most important, what job you get and who seriously you jump into it is what determines your value to society. Carsten Dominik, another physicist, wa

I like websites like this. Simple fast, and, as you say, you can use reader mode. Some people have blogs like this arguing that the user should have the power to customize his experience, for example, using a custom CSS. So they deliver pla

An important component to intelligence is self regulation. If anxiety or fear sizes you your cognition gets severely impaired. You can see this in professionals. My uncle is a remarkable lawyer. He was responsible for very important clients

I am not technical so maybe this questions sound stupid. But this topic really interests me. I read that Rarbg was like thepiratebay but safer. I guess that's due to moderation to check which torrents are safe, right? This people had a

Yes, Emacs with org-mode. In fact, I got into Emacs because I wanted to try org-mode. Org-mode it's just a mode, Emacs has a ton of modes, major and minor. The GNU Emacs Distribution, the Vanilla Emacs, already comes with org-mode. It
