It's a potential problem. The odds are slim that they would hit a vein in the arm, but if they did, that would not be good. I for one am confused as to why they wouldn't aspirate as standard procedure. I had to take some training

I haven't done so for a while, but it used to be both doable and easy. Looks like this page might go in the right direction: https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain...

I intentionally alternate spoons with forks to ensure that adjacent spoons don't prevent each other from getting cleaned. And I put all knives in one area by themselves; I still have to avoid poking myself, but keeping them separate ma

I once had (and was happy with) a blog at blogs.mit.edu . Then MIT shut that whole server down, and all of the blogs there were destroyed. I later started a free blog at Posterous. Posterous was bought by Twitter. The content was moved (fr

I frequently shopped at Barnes & Noble ~20 years ago. But they slowly carried less and less that I was interested in, seemingly shifting from a "store for people who like books" to a "store for people to buy gifts for peo

There's too much great, exciting computer science pedagogy out there to waste time on dismal, uninspiring material. Poorly-chosen required reading for courses is an unfortunate exception.. A lot of the classic books in the Scheme world

A couple of years ago, I read about Amazon having some astounding deals on high-end camera equipment, along the lines of a $10,000 lens on sale for a few hundred dollars. My understanding is that several people snagged that deal (and actual

Beyond a leisurely walk, getting a serious workout in helps a lot. Also playing music. I especially enjoy playing electric bass, which maybe isn't usually that interesting by itself, but to sit for a while and play along with albums ca

Also having the right subject matter at the right time. Wander around Dallas at noon and you probably won't get many great shots. Denali National Park at daybreak? Might be hard to not get a good shot.

Having dabbled in Bob Ross techniques years ago, that giant foreground tree was the part that ruined my paintings too. Why oh why did I add that?

In my observation at my company, it can vary wildly. Some senior engineers are primarily organizers and communicators; others are primarily skilled programmers and software architects. I think it kind of varies with what you personally like

He resigned his paid job, but was later brought back as unpaid (and maybe just honorary) staff. I'm not sure if he ever actually did anything for MIT in that unpaid role. I kind of suspect it was a gift to grant him an office and other

He has both earned (as a software consultant) and been awarded fairly large sums of money in the past, and has purposefully lived inexpensively. Not sure if he presently has any income or not. As far as I know, neither the FSF nor MIT paid
