I've used several marmot jackets for the same purpose, but I like how much thought they've put into the pockets on that edc jacket. edit: same purpose being carrying EDC stuff. I actually dump all my pockets before flying. Anythin

There's a feeling that I've held for a good while now that the overwhelming success of 'HD' as an advertising term slowed display advancements by like a decade. I don't think CRTs had a future regardless, but almost

The weird thing is how rarely approaches like the one you describe here are applied. It's not exactly a secret that simply providing the answer to math questions is great if someone gets them all correct, but nearly useless when someon

My guess is that worse first-page search results leads to more people clicking on the sponsored results, because at least they have some relevance to what they searched for. However, I think the long-term result of this approach could be th

To me, this is very similar to the recent post about email address validation. Very often, companies feel the need to validate certain inputs themselves and do a terrible job, when there's a better solution. When it comes to addresses,

Ah, I've been meaning to check out that food court but not gotten around to it. I'll definitely try that mapo tofu in January.

I didn't have any wear issues with the battery retention on my Motorola Droid A855. The designers of modern phones were willing to accept a reduction in battery capacity in the name of thinness. I am willing to accept a minor reduction

Where'd you get your mapo tofu? I like what I get from S.H. Spicy Garden, but I'm open to trying somewhere new.

"Brand safety". Apple cultivates their image and don't want it damaged. Twitter isn't valuable enough as an advertising space to take a risk for. That is, they pulled twitter ads because they think advertising on Twitter

Unfortunately, developers who don't understand why click-and-hold was implemented then implement it in their own game for no reason. Valid reasons to implement click-and-hold include destructive actions or a lack of available buttons,

I say it's especially true with stimulants not because of some perceived safety, but because at the start of taking stimulants you will feel great. This generally wears off within a few weeks and never comes back. The test of whether s

While meds can definitely help, one month in is way too early to know if the change is long-term positive. This is especially true with stimulant medications.

Pomodoro doesn't work great for everything, but it works well for focused work. Studying, writing, writing code after you've already figured everything out, etc.

A substantial portion (more than half?) of its bleeding is a direct result of Musk's purchase of twitter. The debt he introduced is the bulk of it, but it is compounded by a reduction in advertising revenue. edit: to make this observat

I don't know if you cook, so apologies if you do. In my experience, oil and fats are critical to a lot of cooking both as a facilitator - transferring heat, adhering seasonings to surfaces, carrying flavors of other ingredients, and as

I'm not an expert of any kind, but I'm going to give my unasked-for advice anyways. 1. Paid moderation as the main solution probably isn't feasible. Even if you can find a way to monetize your project without annihilating yo
