I tried to delude myself for years, telling myself that I'm not a "morning person". It was just an excuse to stay up late and watch garbage on the TV or scroll endlessly through Reddit. Since I've forced myself to go to

I track my productivity very assiduously. For some tasks, such as writing, it is next to impossible to be productive for more than 5-6 hours/day. Your brain gives up after a while.

For some reason, I can't log into my Reddit account on the new design. I have to go back to old.reddit.com to log in. Not that I'm complaining. The new design is just...weird?

I don't think grades are important at all. But the effort and discipline that leads to good grades, especially if they're in a setting that requires self-motivation (such as college - you have mom and dad breathing down your neck

I'm extremely naive and ill-informed about biology and evolution, but I'm going to throw this question out there: isn't it an evolutionary advantage to evolve mechanisms to digest one of the most abundant materials - plastic

The problem with this approach is of course language limitations. Can we bypass this with a combination of numbers and universal symbols?

In my experience, ramping to $1k/month is the toughest part. Getting from $1k to $10k/month is much easier. You have momentum, traffic, and some authority.

Slightly off-topic, but if you're in the building phase, I HIGHLY recommend setting up a placeholder website and putting up some content and getting some backlinks. If you have 12+ months of content and backlinks, you will have a much

As I mentioned in another thread, the biggest winners from this entire GDPR saga are Google and Facebook. Email is control. You get someone's email once, you get to control how often you contact them. You can send them hundreds of mess

The Surface Book also runs something I never want to deal with again: Windows 10. I can't deal with a software that constantly gets in the way of my work. I gave Windows a lot of tries, but the latest edition was the last straw for me

I see people here complaining about the author asking for email addresses, and I can't help but think: what a coup GDPR has been for large tech companies. The author has spent hours creating a useful guide that he is giving away for fr

I like to use Twitter from a distance. Like a street brawl. It's fascinating to watch, but I sure as hell wouldn't want to get involved. Too messy.
