Personally, if I am dumping thoughts out, keyboard and screen works well, especially if it's text heavy and long (like a blog post or story chapter). On the other hand, if am trying to understand something, I prefer a pencil and paper

I totally get your point and I agree. I think fundamental point is not to use such things as excuses not to do things at all.

What if my website isn't published yet? Is it possible to run this locally for a locally deployed website/webapp.

Why do I have the distinct feeling you haven't had kids yet and treat them as aliens (or new players to an MMO)? Yes a certain level of self awareness is most important (you'd be surprised how many uneducated kids don't even

I think one of the factors you are missing is that we haven't had dyslexia all our lives. We have read the unscrambled version so much that the scrambled versions rarely deter us from reading at normal speed. But a real dyslexic never

I think the requirement is that ONE of the languages be the person's native language. Because language is so much more than just language, its also about culture. As another commentator pointed out , "cool" can mean so many t

I am one of those people who feel the reddit UI sucks and needs a make over. I really appreciate simplicity and minimalism but I don't feel reddit gets it right. For example, HN is extremely minimal, but it's also extremely clean.

I think every field has its own subset of language that makes most sense to them. I am sure a lot of words that make perfect unambiguous sense to tech people, would confuse non-tech people who would say "why don't you simply say i

My anecdotal evidence points the other way. My own Ho dv6 gave me a good 4 years of running. - Yes, the crapware is unavoidable. but who doesn't ship with that? - For me the system restore worked like magic. I tried it a bunch of time

My personal solution is a desktop and a 7-inch tablet. Sure the tablet loses some of the power as compared to a laptop, but huge portability gain. And it fits my use case. I don't write code while on the move. I do that at my desk. For

Am I the only one that read the title and thought this was Pacman the game? I am surprised they let you use the name for something else considering it's supposed to be highly copyright-protected. Sidenote: I am having trouble finding t

I think you are missing the point. The financial support is cozying up to whoever will win. Obviously its not a free donation. The investor will eventually seek payback by having a higher voice in legislative matters. For example, motorcycl

The free slot thing is brilliant. Levels the playing field to some extent and removes the need for candidates for relying on outside investors

This is a good illustration for why I feel democracy is fundamentally broken. Democracy requires a large number of people to agree on on party/person and to reach these people and to convince them to vote for your candidate, you have t

Does anybody have any idea why is it that way? Considering the obvious threat, why haven't they tried shifting away from there? I agree an entire city can't be moved, bu the "Capital" nature of it can be.

I don't find anything wrong with this. You need to remember while the cat is an important stakeholder in the system, the executive stakeholder is the cat owner (he pays the bills) and thus he needs to see the value. Thus the app is to

I found it interesting how Maleficent trailers all somehow use the movie footage to make her seem evil, where as the movie is actually about her NOT being evil. So the in that pre-release material didn't spoil anything at all.

I think this idea misses a key element: "People are in love with their current watches". Someone who isn't willing to trade their watch for a smartwatch, isn't going to be ok with trading their strap either. Each dial ha
