I don't think you would have time to know or feel anything after being shot. If this is a joke, it seems in bad taste to me. Nonetheless what a terrible waste of human life.

I remember having this feeling very early on in my career trying to learn about curl and finding it terribly frustrating. Then later when I next needed to work on it, things just seemed to click. It's a feeling I don't have as oft

I've stayed on much longer at the business I work for because of my 4 day week arrangement. Definitely golden handcuffs; I recognise that I probably wouldn't have this anywhere else. It's my life admin day mostly: chores, goi

I find the online games very addictive but for a lot of the time they aren't very enjoyable and then for a brief period they are very exciting (the adrenaline I'm speaking about). The game that resonated with me most emotionally w

Video games are immensely addictive. The burst of adrenaline some of the recent online FPS' give me doesn't compare to any other feeling or experience I've had as a human being. They didn't just happen to be this way.

I've been thinking recently about making something that would allow me to print my daily saved articles. Kind of like my own newspaper. I hardly use my inkjet printer as it is and I much prefer reading from paper than a screen.

As someone who isn't remotely interested in the database internals (but open to to being), why should I switch from MariaDB/MySQL (which I've been using for 7 years and never had any major issues with, beyond ONLY_FULL_GROUP_

I've conducted several engineer interviews and sometimes I find it just as nerve-racking as if I was interviewing myself, mostly because asking questions that give me "a lot of signal about the candidate’s skills while ensuring th

This reminds me of PG's essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/wealth.html "A surprising number of people retain from childhood the idea that there is a fixed amount of wealth in the world."

Some good points here. If the author is reading the comments, I spotted the following typos: 1) "that tries to rationalize their existence by appeals to either" should probably say "that tries to rationalize their existence b

I think Posthaven ticks a lot of these boxes. I never really anyone talking about it on here but it's been around for an age and I don't have anything to fault about it.

For tall guys, Gap is one of the few places you can buy 36" leg trousers and jeans. I wouldn't consider buying them anywhere else and the quality is pretty good too. I wonder if they even realise they almost have a monopoly on tha

Author here. If my goal was to get from A to B as fast as possible, yes I'd perhaps get a bicycle. If I wanted to be a really good runner a bicycle probably isn't going to help me as much as running a lot. I hear "working sma
