When I lived in Russia my doctor messaged me via WhatsApp. I'm American so I was a little culture shocked, I don't know if this is standard procedure or anything but it illustrates how ubiquitous WhatsApp is. I'm so anti-Fac

I don't think Uber Eats has a support page that says "Submit your amateur cease and desist letters here". A $300 trademark is a cheap business expense, using it to scare away massive corporations is expensive.

My first programming job was building tools to make some warehouse work more efficient. At the outset I had most of the warehouse to myself and I walked around the warehouse talking out loud to myself to solve my programming problems. Onc

I think being aware of what's happening to you is the right direction. The content rarely engages you, and that's part of the feature that's trapping you. Partial reinforcement is extremely addicting. If you gave somebody

I had an Aural Skills (pitch training) professor in college who had perfect pitch. At first I felt kind of cheated, "how can you help me if you didn't have to go through this yourself?" But in a manner of speaking the profe

I use DDG as my default and it gets me 90% of the way there. Sometimes when I search for programming syntax and I know there is one canonical answer that should be the top link, DDG doesn't show up but google does. My !g bangs have b

I usually really enjoy customizing my shell and making it look pretty, but my first experience with ligatures was a bad one. I was learning LaTeX and my editor turned on ligatures for me (I think the vim-polyglot plugin was the culprit) an

I think there's a third very specific category of "men who care but don't know how, but they love making systems out of things to help solve their problems." You might find one or two of these kinds on Hacker News.

This seems like the same problem with traffic. If fewer people drove we'd have better throughput in our roadways, when the roadways get more efficient more people want to drive, and we have clogged roadways again.
