Mnemonics is totally how it works for me. I can hear songs in my head in tune. Through learning to play guitar, I've memorized songs for each note, by the first chord of each song. A: Jessica, Allman Brothers A#: In Bloom, Nirvana B:

The end goal temperature of the brisket may be 145, but that's after resting. It's going to come off the smoker somewhere around 190-200. Many people swear by 203. The reason brisket and pork shoulder are the cuts of meat used

Another meaningless and overused adjective that could be added to this list is "curated". Curated means that the company chose to sell certain things, and not sell other things. How novel. Walmart curates its product offerings.

None of the explanations in the article really convinced me either. But after looking at the chart of all possible outcomes for a while, it finally clicked. It makes more sense to think of it in reverse from the winning position. Winning

As a fellow Cubs fan, you're dead wrong. The play Bartman disrupted didn't advance any runners. It was a foul ball. Cubs were up 3-0, with one out. Had Moises Alou caught the ball, there would have been two outs. The Marlins p

The ODROID-C1 looks very nice. My main hesitations would be available drivers and community size. They may have drivers for everything, I don't know. It is nice to see that a somewhat recent kernel is available though (3.10). I rec

What features does Box have that Dropbox doesnt? I realize that as a nonpaying user, I'm definitely not in the target market, but are there killer apps besides the normal usecases of a synced folder on all of your devices and sharing

This is exactly my point, though. You shouldn't put much value in what other people like to read. Maybe it's a good place to start, to find books in the first place, but tastes are inherently subjective. Even if hundreds of mil

I think I'd rather miss out on a few slow developers than constantly hold on to false hope that something will get better. It seems to me that the latter is much more common than the former. Being more selective will result in readin

After reading a string of books that basically did nothing for me, and then reading a book that completely enveloped me and messed with my head (House of Leaves, by Mark Z. Danielewski), I've made a a point of giving books about 50-100

Doesn't seem to hurt Intel. Perhaps it's different for Intel, because they have the advantages of brand recognition and being the market leader, but most of the information about their processors seem to be purposefully obfuscated

Nice site. A big problem I see is that it only uses Amazon for pricing. This results in the Nexus 6 being listed as 70% more expensive than the Google Play Store. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of price comparison. Being able to compa

I would guess the general difference in expectation of outcomes help GoFundMe, and hurt Kickstarter and IndieGogo. Kickstarter has an extremely narrow market of early adopters of tech. They also have developed a reputation of late shipping

pg is an HNer. It's safe to assume that several other HNers have reputations that would allow them to write such a ticket. Do you assert that someone whose only marketable skills revolved around software development could achieve suc

To some extent, Yelp and similar sites fill this role. There are a couple of problems with this. 1. It's fairly simple to post a fake review. 2. Yelp has been accused of what amounts to blackmail by offering to hide bad reviews if bus

Neil Young talks a lot about how important it was to capture early takes. The newness of the music seems to give it a different character. A lot of his recordings have a fair amount of mistakes. Young calls it "rust". Tonight&

Just like the public pension debacle in Illinois, it seems like the entrenched interests of Bay Area's housing problems would rather watch the whole thing burn to the ground than admit that their positions are untenable.

Could you elaborate on this? Maybe the group I play with just sets the limit too low, but it's almost to the point that bluffing is pointless, and you only win with good cards. We usually play well into the night, so 5 or 6 hours. O

I knew a guy that had a snooker table that was close to 100 years old. It used to be in a bar, and had lots of cigarette burns on the wood, giving it lots of character. Overall, the table was in excellent condition. What's amazing ab

What always fascinates me about the Civil War is the sheer number of deaths, and how quickly they mounted. Wikipedia estimates 215,000 deaths in a roughy 4 year period. The Battle of Gettysburg saw over 4000 dead on each side in a 3 day pe

One thing to keep in mind, if your trade in has significant value, is that your trade in amount reduces the tax you pay on the new price. For example, if you buy a $25000 car, and have a trade in value of $10000, you only pay tax on $15000

Any VNC app allows you to view and control your screen. I like RealVNC. The corresponding app on Android and iOS is called VNC Viewer. There are several companies/projects that offer this functionality.
