WOW. If I could, I would vote for this twice! I wish I had found this years earlier; it would have made acclimation to the command-line much quicker. Fantastic.

Keep close tabs on that market and be sure to focus on what your users find useful. You can still be better while being leaner. A laundry list of features isn't everything... it can, in fact, be quite harmful. At the VERY least, if the bott

You could buy the light filter in glasses form. http://lowbluelights.com/ sells them, though they look pretty expensive to me. Then again, so does the iPad.

bnoordhuis posted a scriptable solution. You could write a wrapper script for SSH that passes arguments straight through, but first checks for your port forward. Or, just write a script that forwards the port and run it before you start wor

I haven't noticed either of these side effects. I don't take melatonin every night, but I do use it to adjust my sleep schedule (for which I find it highly effective) What's your source for this assertion?

Is this a joke? I found it very offensive.

Which gaming community are you talking about? Competitive, league-based FPS gamers? Highly socially integrated guild-based MMO players? Casual bejeweled junkies? Pen-and-paper tabletop RPGers?

Way to go, Nate Silver. I hope you stick with it; I've consistently appreciated your analysis of politics.

This is actually a sort of running joke related to House. Lupus is a common suggestion on House, particularly during a specific season, even though it's never Lupus. Until, like you said, it is.

>Stop eating gluten for two weeks, or preferably three. If you feel better after that, then you may be on the right track, but wait, it might be placebo. To be really sure, have yourself a big ol' bowl of pasta or pizza. In about 5-7 h

Very cool. This reminds me of Kamal Meattle's talk on TED: http://www.ted.com/talks/kamal_meattle_on_how_to_grow_your_o... The only plant that he mentioned that is not mentioned on this list is the Money Plant (Epipremneum aureum) which h

"So please go head and login→ or register→" "So please go ahead" <-- The A is important. Also, the yellow is kind of obnoxious to me; I would prefer a green or blue.

I think you're reading the list wrong. The list is... - reduces our attention span (blame Twitter for this.) - reduces our comprehension (blame Reddit for this.) - reduces our data retention (blame Google for this.) There's a pretty good ar

This is from the list of cognitive biases that was posted in some comment within the past few days. The whole list is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases That said... yeah. Cold calls are insidious for this reason.

I use Firefox; it restores the tabs I shut down with. There's ALWAYS tabs leftover... so I never see this "home page" you speak of.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. When I saw it, I instantly thought of Man Hacks from Half Life 2 - flying drones with buzz-saws attached. They were far less maneuverable than these quadcopters. Buzz-saws are for chumps, though - I'm sure these t

Wow, what a gold mine! Does anyone have recommendations for these? I've been looking to get started with some network monitoring for my personal boxes and eventually work my way up to monitoring well over a hundred machines.

Reddit has managed to arrange some pretty cool interviews. I've enjoyed many of them.

There are a lot of good recommendations in the other comments, even though no one has responded directly to you - I recommend taking another look at this comments page if you haven't already.

Actually, I haven't read it yet - I tend to skim the comments first and then decide whether or not the article is worth my time. I prefer to avoid articles where most of the comments lament that "this post is bollocks/misleading/media spam.

Programmable would be nice. I'd like the "snooze" functionality to change after x presses. For example, "If snooze has been pressed 2 times today, on next press, double volume instead."

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/67651/ BarTab. I normally have a ton of tabs open (Anywhere between 15 and 45) Without BarTab, Firefox starts noticeably chugging, but with BarTab I can unload most of the tabs from memory.
