I tried herdr recently, and I missed many tmux features I really liked. tmux has a better `prefix-[` mode where you 1) can do visual selection using line/block mode 2) you can use `o` to switch to other side (just like vim) 3) it paus

I was pretty excited to come across this over the weekend. In my first year of engineering (UBC), some 2nd years advised me to get an HP48 calculator. It was expensive, but worth the investment they said. I bought the 48GX, a 128KB memory

Volta shows promise and I like that it's fast. But to me it seems like it will be hard to adopt until it supports `.node-version` file (a working standard among node version managers). For example, while some may want to use Volta, ot

I agree about the silicone keyboard. I can understand many mechanical keys types will not be feasible in a small form factor. But there are good mechanical key designs that are small to choose from. For example, the ones on HP calculators (

I am a proud Canadian who lives in the USA and have a little Canadian sticker on my car. It's my little shout out to other Canadians on the road. I guess we're quietly showing our pride to others. Being loud about it is not in o

It's an interesting trend that I have seen among my company's user base. It could be real, but it could also be an increase in false positives. A possible explanation for the false positives: Many large companies are seeing more

You're right its not artificial... my mistake. It is however rather new to the market in the USA and Canada. It has been around for a long time, but in small markets.

It's easy to evaluate if you have seizures. You don't need to wait for it to be definitively proven to make use of the anecdotal evidence. If you learned that aspartame could trigger a seizure, wouldn't you be cautious and w

Unfortunately I can't point to an official study - just many anecdotal claims from people like me. When you google, I am sure you will see many such claims - including the 'internet hoax'. (The internet hoax is unfortunate be

Rumsfeld was the CEO at Searle - the makers of Aspartame... And he used his political influence to replace the FDA commissioner so Aspartame could be legalized. That's a conflict of interest.

Interesting - thanks. [Edit] - The ketogenic diet is interesting. And I can see how some would want to substitute sugar for an artificial sweetener to help achieve a low carb diet. But given Aspartame is a known trigger for many types of se

The doubts about its safety are mine. I am skeptic about the safety of all artificial sweeteners - especially ones new to the market - given my personal experiences with Aspartame. From most American's points of view, Stevia is new an

Really? Can you point to a source? Many people with epilepsy and migraines have discovered different food triggers. In my case Aspartame was the leading trigger. Anyone who has seizures should seek out and eliminate potential triggers to s

It's natural, but there are doubts about its safety. In many countries it is still banned. And in countries like the USA it has only been available for a short period of time (after lots of lobbying).

Aspartame (Nutrasweet) is pretty controversial in how it got approved by the FDA. See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robbie-gennet/donald-rumsfeld-... When I was 8 years old, I started having grand mal seizures and my
