I spent years having people tell me I should eat more fibre or try to not let myself get stressed out, etc. That stopped when the lower half of my digestive system was replaced with a very obvious ostomy appliance. Now, the visible reminder

I really, really like the business I work for and when I was offered a chance to manage the dev team (was a team lead/senior developer - been a dev for 20+ years) I took it. I have written enough code. I wanted to be in a position to g

I tried it and loved it but the pricing model and fact that it is hosted made me stop using it. I have nothing against either choice, they are just not right for me. The takeout option lets you download a copy of your files at any time but

I would add lots of kids in lower income homes are exposed to music being played by family members, peers, school programs, or church groups (examples). It's true that these kids might not be playing Mozart but there is nothing wrong w

Fellow sufferer here. My doctor ordered one for me when it wasn't really called for (MD, not gastro). I'd had one recently and kind of rolled my eyes. Did I really need it? They found high dysplasia tissue (cancer precursor). Now

I have a screwed up neck. WHen I had surgery for a different part of my body I had to be awake while they "put the tube in". You are on an operating table with an anesthetic in your throat, your arms are restrained, then these mas

Are you hosting your own email server or going with a provider? Which provider, if so?

What is the advantage of using a provider like Proton Mail versus using a client to make a local back up of important Gmail labels (or regularly using Takeout to back up a email label with your most important stuff in it)?

As someone who may or may not monitor very elastic competitor pricing (allegedly) I would add that if you are not respectful with your scraping you will get IP banned. You might also get shut down by a provider (e.g. aws). Services like Cra

I can sympathize. I am finally (late 40s) able to sleep several hours in a row after decades of not being able to sleep continuously for more than an hour or so. Ironically, I need to get up at 4:45am for my job but can't go to bed unt

Agreed. I made the switch many years ago. It's easy enough. I learned to read in the mid-70's (like that really matters).

A massive improvement would be if saving didn't open the save dialog and instead just saved the file. I understand why it doesn't work this way but it is a must for a decent editor. Autosave being almost as important, of course (h

Did you mean "muddled" or was "muffled" intentional? I agree with your premise, regardless.

I'll probably regret posting this at some point because Scott Adams is smart (just not particularly aligned with my own moral compass). I don't think he is AS smart as he thinks he is but that doesn't mean he isn't smart

I'm late to the party but do you have tips for adding pages quickly on mobile? The boomark I created in the desktop Chrome client either isn't syncing or isn't available in mobile Chrome (Android).

I regularly spend a week or two on a project which immediately begins showing increased revenue on the sites I work for, and that revenue accrues. I don't think that is expensive at all. In fact, I think my company is getting an incred
