Curious what level of thinking you have been using as well. Found that lowering it actually gets me better results.

I always remembered this anecdote. Was he a fan of retyping books? Or writing long hand?

For the sake of argument if you build on AWS is that any more of a solid foundation? You're beholden to Amazon, unless you have the bandwidth to be able to DR immediately to another provider.

Thanks, I saw that, but I never can make heads or tails of just MP. Feel like some phones have much lower MP but the quality of the photo is much higher. It does seem like a great deal either way though!

This is looking great, hope the camera can at least produce decent photos. So many other phones with a QEWRTY keyboard just have awful cameras. The Razr 2024/25 + the clicks keyboard is probably the "best" so far. Although I

Old school datahand user here, are you using the trackball version of The Svalboard? How does it work as a mouse replacement?

I Velcro a touch pad on the middle of my kinesis advantage. They made the Form keyboard but not sure the they haven't done the same for the ergo design. It's a no brainer.

Yeah, it's a fun interactive book. As any parent is aware a toddler doesn't need training to use a screen. If anything it shows just how intuitive these UI/UX have become.

Have you looked into Kinesis Advantage?

If you're a fan of the free market and want to see these books continue to be available go ahead and contact the rights owners and offer to purchase them.

The lock-down has never been about saving lives. It's about preventing the chaos that would occur if we did nothing and let the health care system crash. People in charge get this, sure saving lives is nice, but it's about maintai

Not the parent, but I've looked into this and here's my take. 1. Yes RDP 2. The cost can vary obviously, but let's take a lower-end 4vcore 16GB Windows VM (B4MS) - $29.12 (160 hours per month of usage) 3. 512GB of SSD storage

I had not known about gumroad and took a look. Would you ever introduce more of a product browsing store front experience? I see all these great categories in the search drop-down, but no way to just take a peak into what was available. Gre

Most likely due to the same troll farms that paint the narrative that SpaceX wastes tax payer money. Now who would not want a new private American company to succeed in revitalizing the industry and increasing competition. Hmm, I can think

Along this topic, if we are spending so much on these infants why is our rate higher than other first world countries? Finland which is number one, "used the least resources and attained average results, making Finland the most efficie

In the article they talk about many factors that a mechanical sorter will have no ability to account for, color, prickliness, curvature.

Thanks for being a donor, much appreciated by those who were given a new life and their families.

Ugh you're right. It seems they romanticized it in their own heads as well. And in the end they're just humans. The dad wrote a post about it all : http://janifoundation.org/blog/ Wish them all the best eith

I find it amazing at the untold strength in parents like these. Just ordinary folks who somehow find a way to keep on trying and pushing and doing their best when faced with unimaginable challenges. They fall and get up and keep going. Make

I've been in and out of this hobby over the last 20+ years. The latest generation of technology that started ~5 years ago is simply amazing when compared to what we used to have. Think home automation scaled down to a fish tank. Remote

I think like any system once you learn all the shortcuts available and use them on a daily basis trying other setups never seem quite as good.

Almost unrelated but the documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a good follow-up for inspiration. https://movies.netflix.com/WiMovie/Jiro_Dreams_of_Sushi/7018...

Like Android had Google users, Steam has a user base already. I think that will help get people onboard as well. Everything is already right there for you, your friend list, your games, your awards, your wallet. Getting a box running SteamO

What extensions are you using with Visual Studio? Found vanilla to be really stable, but certain extensions result in some random crashes. But not terribly often.

As well as the convergence of tablets/laptops/PC/touch screens. I gave my folks a touchscreen all-in-one PC and it's surprising how much you will touch the screen once it's available.

Yup, tweaks to what they're calling the "Power user menu" Start+x and Display Scaling and of course now you can boot right to the desktop. http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/hands-windows-81
