Roam takes a while to startup. Once up, it's quite fast to switch between pages. A bit like an IDE. It's still browser based I think, and there are no native apps for Android and iOS. So I feel constrained when I'm not at the

Most of his essays have that wise old man who has seen the world kind of vibe to them. If anybody else writes the same things without the success he has had it will be ridiculous to read. I don't think anybody who reads his essays is l

Not sure if there is one but I don't really know how it matters. If you are a .net developer you'd work with other .net developers all will be ok with being a .net developer. OTOH, if you are not one then what you think shouldn&#x

Are only 'priming studies' in doubt? Or are most of the studies in social psychology in doubt today? The experiments and conclusions used to fascinate me, but once you lose trust it becomes hard to believe again. I used to think a
