In some ways, the more fun fact (which I had known and forgotten) was that it was built for SGI. <offtopic digression> Damn they made good (albeit expensive) computers back in the day. Some of their pricing was even crazier than th

Argh... it's articles (actually sites) like this one that make me wish there were either 30+ hours in the day or there was a non-detrimental way to do with less sleep. I think this is fascinating stuff and if I could I would ditch what I'm

This article is absurd. (In what follows, I assume a United States context)... 1. No citation of the "insurmountable mountain of evidence" 2. Women are still paid less that men (just look at Bureau of Labor Statistics stats) 3. Women ge

I found this part disturbing: "The business-savvy Komisaruk already has taken out a patent on the peptide that creates [post-orgasm bliss]." What an awful thing to do.

I wonder if this really works long term, how people's leptin resistance confounds its efficacy, etc. I still remained shocked at how effective carb restriction is, assuming you swap in lots of protein and fat from non-processsed food source

Very interesting article. I continue to be amazed at how primitive our nutrition science is but I guess that's what happens when you combine a tough problem with market distortions. The tough problem: there are a million variables to contr

This is so crazy cool I can't believe it. Thanks for making it so much easier to quickly play with my config. Nice to haves: 1. select your language sample (ruby, lisp, c++, etc.) 2. paste in an existing config and have it load that

Modified GTD. 1. Instead of a weekly review, I assign every task a date -- that's the date I want to next think about it (either to do it, decide it's no longer important or to set a next time I want to think about it). 2. Every morning
