I think we don't even realise the impact we can have on people, deliberate or otherwise. Years ago, when I finished highschool, this guy came up to me and said "thanks for acting normal to me, it really helped me through the last

A little late, but anyway.. I've had panic attacks in two locations: while falling asleep in bed and in crowded trains. I guess I just kinda got used to them. Since I know what's coming I don't feel the 'panic' part

I once, involuntary, went without sleep for around 72 hours. I was at a music festival and we were either pulling through the night or I couldn't sleep because of the noise. When the time came to go home, I really felt pretty good. At

The whole shrugging off and downplaying of issues like this are exactly the reason the internet is complete shit when it comes to security. Why, after all the exploits, insecure software and bad decisions, can people still not see that th

I've always felt that people didn't really regard Escher as an artist because his works are too straight forward. He manages to take his thoughts on infinity, beginning and end, dimensions and other philosophical and mathematical

I did this too in the past, but I've since found the convenience of 'git gui' too hard to ignore. The fact that it seamlessly runs on remote servers over X forwarding without having to install anything on the remote server re

I can't imagine my workflow being all that special, but I never have to deal with this? I just write new features, refactor if needed, fix unrelated bugs, etc. When I feel like it's commit-time, I cherry-pick changed chunks or lin

Dutch guy here. I haven't biked in the U.S, but from what I've seen, biking in the Netherlands is completely different. - Cars drive slower. 50 km/h in city zones, many places that are restricted to 30 km/h. - Our entire
