del.icio.us was my favorite tool on the internet for a few years (perhaps even still in retrospect). And not far off from the same functionality as Facebook (today). Why purchase such a thing to shut it down? Money which needed to be burned

Some may be able to calibrate their hearing in this regard with something called Auditory Integration Training. I have done it. It worked. You might also want to read more about CAPD (Central Auditory Processing Disorder).

I sell traffic lights. What you consider a “green” light in the USA is actually called “blue green”. I believe the reason for this is increased visibility for older drivers.

Am so tired of Windows 11 I’ve just started writing my own desktop / toolbars / windows / struts using X11. It’s more than good enough and not much more difficult than writing webapps (in fact half of this project is various

I was not being as specific as latitude/longitude, exact time of the day, or “planetary alignments” … only the season or birth month (or perhaps week if you want to get loco). Much of the natural world runs on such a schedule (even con

There are epigenetic markers which can identify the season or perhaps even month you were born. If you might think there is a link between personality and birth order and that perhaps metaphor is useful in storytelling or group dynamics … t

Anyone can do something like this now by searching Google or asking Clippy. The act of double-checking what the interface suggests is the same as doing the thinking and work manually. Perhaps more intelligent error messages would be helpful

Being able to script buttons in my browser's toolbars is a feature I miss (circa the Jetpack era of Firefox). It greatly increased my productivity. Doing some of this now on my Linux desktop using jgmenu ... it's not a browser tho

Sinistar had a number of industry firsts … for the stereo/surround sound and the joystick at least … however it was released just before this market tanked in the early 80’s. Chilling and addictive at the time. (And hungry!)

First learned programming in Turbo Pascal and have fond memories of that IDE. Thanks for posting this. Would love to learn of a framework for reconfiguring this UX to do whatever I want (menus, scripting, etc).

here’s a version of ‘find’ I use quite often …… I usually download it to run as “fstring”. it outputs the file name and the string match: https://github.com/figital/fstring

UPS Freight has never really been “UPS” even though they sort of share the same computer systems and branding. Their quality of service has also always been much lower (at least in our region).

I typed in a basic text query to "count reps per account". Then I clicked the visualize button ... no re-visualization. This is an extremely basic feature in every visual query tool the past 20 years (at least the ones worth payin

I'd rather give excess power to my neighbors for free or just waste it on a giant spinning pinwheel than "sell" it back to the power company. No mention of local battery storage by the reporter or the "reported/repo

Gonick & Smith remarkably make statistics fun and even easy to explain to other people. So glad I stumbled into it at a garage sale a few years ago. I should pick up their other books ASAP.

To the best of my basic knowledge (and as mentioned here already) EEG isn't going to be super-useful for a consumer device like this ... HEG (infrared detection of oxygen levels) is a better option in terms of the ratio of easy hookups

Wish I hadn't ran out of time for this ... https://vimeo.com/mindhead . You can easily get to "on/off" with equipment like this. The rest depends on training protocols and the software design needed to implement them.

I've really wanted to dive into this for a side project. On the limited time I've had, I notice the Creator IDE UI and tutorials take an extra step I'm not used which is probably from translating the experience from Finnish to my own langua
