   I don't want to read your words in your accent, I want to read them with my internal monologue.

   I think they tend to use a lot of fancy jargon because the jargon is actually really good, and there's no real replacement for it without circumlocution.

   I had the experience of changing to colemak and then spending maybe two months not practicing deliberately. Progress was slow. But then, I started practicing every day and I was back to my qwerty speeds within a few weeks. The incidental pr

   I wonder why we never hear serious talk of trying to cure the common cold. It reminds me of how people who talk about curing aging are seen as crackpots. Unlike cancer, aging and colds are seen as inevitable by people, and any attempt to cu

   I think there is a distinction to be made between your consciousness leaving your body, and the feeling that your consciousness has left your body. One is clearly impossible, but the other, while less impressive, would still be a transforma

   To me, typing speed is a convenience feature, not an efficiency feature (past like 30 wpm). I have recently twice experienced both low typing speeds (~30 wpm) and high typing speeds (~80 wpm) due to switching to colemak and to an ortholinea

    This whole thing seems perfectly reasonable to me. The analogy between DNA code and computer code seems pretty direct. They made the code, they should get the rights to the software/fruit. Don't like it? Write/selectively bre

    The 0.59% figure is nonsense. Steam only counts you as a Linux gamer if you: 1. Opt-in to stating your operating system(s), and 2. Put ONLY Linux, not Windows. Otherwise, you are counted as a Windows gamer. Spelunky 2 developers just releas

    Incorrect. If everyone else pays for it and I don't, then I benefit. Tragedy of the commons. My winning strategy is never to pay.

    Mussolini would have said he cared about lower-class trains running on time whether or not he did.

    Have you considered that Mussolini didn't care about the trains which weren't high-profile trains for elites? The person you're responding to said dictators do what they want efficiently, but don't care about what others

    There is no such thing as living forever. It's impossible. You can die, or you can live long enough to change into someone else. Longevity just makes less people have to go through death.

    Some style guides let you put spaces on both sides of an em dash, others want spaces on neither side. No style guide wants spacing on only one side, and the title is correct with its lack of spacing on the em-dashes.

    If you remove the 'i' from "ily", then you get the sentence, "He distractedly quickly ate the mango...," which seems grammatical to me. In any case, I'm not sure why some high schooler's ill-considere
