FWIW, in case you don't have a retina display, zooming in your browser works just as well to make the difference in quality visible.

Also try Crackbook [1] for Chrome which delays pages instead of banning them. Works much better for me that Stayfocusd, which I just disable after a while. (Disclaimer: I am the author.) [1] https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nbgjmo

It seems to be using the pentatonic scale, which is generally easy to deal with. It is also quite limited though, with only 5 pitches available out of the standard 12 in an octave.

I read a course on Python for a semester, and I tried to use a similar approach: relatively few tests, a minor project for warmup and a major project (with emphasis on attendance & communication). I think it went fine, but it's not as e

What's the point of a "hierarchy" then, if the "upper" levels do not depend on the "lower" ones? Basically what you're saying here is a tautology: one is able to operate at a "level" that, well, one is able to operate at.

You don't have to get people to buy hot air. What the author has in mind is probably either a) "Assume that this product is fully functional. Will you pay for it $X?" or b) "I am planning to build this product. Would you promise to pay me $

There's a more interesting point to be made about getters and setters than the article offers. In my opinion, getters and setters are a little stinky because by nature they expose internal attributes of the class, even if they wrap them up

Hmm, what would those markets be in your opinion? Perhaps it's worth targeting a niche narrower than startups.

Sure, throw a link my way (see http://blog.miliauskas.lt for contact info).

Yeah, BNI seems similar in idea, but I had my eyes on small, new companies in particular, as they have the most to gain from small-scale, inidvidual referrals. The larger ones tend to do marketing, or they already have a reputation, so it's

If the experiment is opt-in, there will surely be a bias in the sample population. In this case, the strategy will select risk-seeking individuals, because risk-averse ones will not want to participate.

> I tend to prefer underannouncing and overdelivering... Yes, assuming that you hear about the project at all. Overannouncement is lying, but it does get you more publicity.

Strictly speaking, thinking about "what trees those are" or "about all the people who [sic] been here" is yet another instance of verbal thinking and it's emphatically not "mindfulness". Clearly you're not here and now if you're thinking ab

I don't think it's possible to control the internet when any sort of stronger encryption is available that prevents inspection of passing information by the routing nodes. Even then, you could use steganography to hide data. It would be ver
