I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about this format that I do not like. I feel like I don't retain anything maybe? Content is good, but something about the "Vice Documentary" thing...

Facebook Newsfeed Eradicator performs a similar function, but with inspirational quotes!

Can you expand more on the _sharing is spamming_ ? Seems like a point with some depth to it.

Simple, but I am most excited to see a REPL here -- JShell. I have written so so many Tester classes when I just wanted to run a few lines of java.

While this is a decent guide, I find that being skillful in latex comes from memorizing many highly specific commands. I spend most of my time googling for things such as "How to use (a), (b), (c) for enumerating lists".

I think it's a matter of degree. If you usually sleep 7 hours a night, and you're only getting 4, then you will feel tired grumpy and sad. But if you stay up all night, you may start to feel euphoric and energetic. Of course, you&

Idea: Combine a dollar shave club subscription service with learning. User gets a starterpack deal, which includes some beans and a nice mug and a french press or something. Then, you'd have a series of videos/tutorials teaching t

>But how to persuade creative people to do so? First and foremost, there must be ease, relaxation, and a general sense of permissiveness. The world in general disapproves of creativity, and to be creative in public is particularly bad. E

Overall good article. But I disagree with the distinction made between bullshitiness and profundity. And even a randomly generated sentence has the possibility for profundity. You can read any of those bullshit examples and come away with s

I've yet to graduate, but I find myself in the same position. I've got other non-CS related hobbies that I enjoy and so I don't really end up making any good side projects. CS seems to have this feel around it where it has to

I have to say, this feels like a lazy hype-train post. Everyone is complaining about the lack of the esc key, but I'm sure it won't be so bad. It does depend somewhat on how integrations work with the bar. I could imagine hopping

I am a cyclist in NYC and I try my best to follow the mentality of "I am a car." I do not run red lights. When I see bikers do this it seems highly dangerous. Maybe the Idaho stop works in Idaho, but I doubt it would work in busy

Do you have any leads on bpm detection? I tried doing it in Python a while ago for a project and the library I used was always 5-10bpm off...

I appreciated that this article spent some time instructing on how to leave your job, instead of just praising the decision to leave.

It doesn't seem like it, but it's still pretty nice! Window hints is my favorite feature.

I'm fine with open office as long as you still have a dedicated desk. Otherwise it's annoying and difficult to find people.

I would like to take the opportunity to plug for my favorite adblocker, Ublock Origin. It doesn't have a whitelist like ABP, and has a very good picker to remove ads in case some sneak through.

Your example is incongruous. Height is something you have no power to change, while intellegence can be made. And even if it cannot, it can often be substituted for hard work -- this is why the common trope of the smart person beat by the h

Not just you -- video is a real time medium, a 3 minute video takes 3 minutes to watch. Text is at your reading speed, and also a lot easier to index.
