In hindsight, I think one of the smartest decisions I made for myself was to first try coffee black. Since I didn't know any better, it was extremely easy to commit to it, and I am appreciative of it today. I wish I could influence mor

This is the first time I am seeing these remarkable videos. I cannot tell you why, but I am feeling awfully emotional while watching them. It cannot be nostalgia, as I wasn't there during the recordings of these videos, so I'm not

You have a great website. I was especially curious about your minimalism section and how you list all of your possessions. May I ask; do you truly not own any bedding? I'm similar to you such that I find extreme value in being able to

I used to enjoy this place because the community expanded on the content that was posted, thus extending the life of the article. Instead, we've reached a point where people seem to be doing the opposite in the way of critique. I can u

A trend I've been seeing on HN and Reddit alike are articles that are not in depth, but allow the users of the medium in which they are shared to have a reason to talk about something. This post probably got more attention because it w

I'm not going to say you're wrong, because I don't have claim to back mine up, either. So, this is for the sake of discussion. The sentiment that everybody reaches for Redux is tired, in my opinion. After following many in th
