   Ugh I bring this up too often, but I really wish someone made a (sizeable) e-ink monitor. I can’t stand reading on backlit screens, and most e-readers are designed for smaller proprietary format than large PDF’s. I get why it’s impractical

   Yeah think about it all the time. The realistic options are even more unappealing so I’m stuck here for now.

   This is close to how I feel these days too, except for different terms. These days I generally consider myself a "hacker". Using that word, it makes perfect sense to me why I can't stand the industry and see no place for myse

   I remember reading about bioinformatics as a teenager and thinking it was the best option in the world,a career combining a number of my interests! For a little while I was semi interested in looking at that after HS, but I had a bit of tro

   Science, and biology in particular, was one of the few subjects I actually did enjoy growing up. I could occasionally be found reading some random books related to the subject. Of course, one of the things that ultimately lead to me doing s

   Huh, we have licenses for this at my job, but I haven't used it much so far. I'll have to look more into it.

    After the recent ballots in many states decriminalizing various drugs, I saw a number of memes congratulating "drugs" on "winning the war on drugs".

    This is one of the domains where I really regret not caring about math and not furthering my education. I've tried to get into communication theory to work on some moderately complex SDR projects, but it seems I cant escape math for th

    Googles filtering is so weird. I have a bad habit of buying old hardware without checking if the documentation had been made available on the web. Recently I found myself desperate for any information on a price of hardware i had gotten. I

    I want to know what I'll be doing, the sort of problems I'll been working on, etc. What I absolutely cannot stand is job descriptions that are just a complete drab HR keyword dump listing every technology you might potentially see

    I've known a few people (including myself) who have casually thought about what it would take to write a new browser engine. Obviously it's a titanic undertaking and unrealistic project but one thing I considered recently: There a

    I knew Alaska was big, but holy crap! If you move the continental US from the southern most Alaska Islands to the top, it stretches nearly the entire east coast.

    Probably around a decade ago I was diagnosed with a slew of things and put on, among other drugs, SSRI's. I never felt depressed at time. Interestingly, I felt angry, powerless, etc. but not depressed. The drugs really didn't feel

    Yeah I either sleep 0-5 hours or 12+, rarely in between. Interestingly I usually feel better with the former (for a few hours before the microsleeps hit, at least). When i sleep late, I normally wake up with a bad headache, sore, really bad
