This is generally my goal with Emacs customization. I'm basically just using APIs (Spotify, Outlook Exchange Server, myFittnessPal, Reddit, HN) in a common Emacs interface. The downside, of course, is that it's a lot of work to de

My hypothesis is that fashion has taken a backseat to the numerous other (mainly digital) ways people use to express their individuality. If you're interested in fashion or trends, I always recommend looking at middle and high schooler

I use mine [1] mostly for Org-mode but there are a few other goodies included. Eventually I'd like to wrap it with use-package for portability. To the curious: don't hesitate to ask. To the critical: don't hesitate to point o

Maybe take a look at Pandoc[1]? It converts between Org-mode and Microsoft formats. [1] http://pandoc.org/

Not to mention that equipped with a bike and the coaster [1], you could easily make it between Downtown (either Santa Fe or Old Town), and Sorrento Valley in 40 minutes. Granted, there isn't a super safe way to get to / from the O

I grew up in the east bay, went to college on the central coast (Cal Poly), and have lived in San Diego County for the last 6 years--specifically Carlsbad, East Village, Little Italy, and Hillcrest. I'm an aeronautical engineer who spe

As an aeronautical engineer (structural dynamics, aeroelasticity, stress analysis, etc.), I can definitely validate this claim--at least partially. At the lowest level, things are definitely a horrific mosaic of "temporary solutions, s

Couldn't they push this out as a future software update?

This bothers me as well...and definitely becomes an argument against the iPhone 7 Plus. It's going to be difficult to choose between dual camera / longer battery life, and correctly mapped pixels.

Nice, I didn't realize they were working on that--I'll have to do some feature comparisons, but this seems like it might be a better fit.

Has anyone developed GPS for the Pebble? A quick google search reveals this Kickstarter [1], but is anyone aware of something more mature or a future Pebble design which will include it. I'm into trail running and backpacking so batter

This is objectively not true [1] and has the same sort of arrogance that frustrates people who live in other areas of the state. Is the cost of living ridiculous? Absolutely, but the higher-than-average salaries at least help compensate. Co

I can certainly verify this. Look no further than Nastran [1] which is ubiquitous in the aeronautical / aerospace industry. Using fixed width fields isn't even uncommon--column edit and a few clever regular expressions go a LONG w

I think the best use case is overlay screens particularly for backpacking or travel--really anytime battery is a concern.

I'm less concerned about the logo than the app redesign. Sure, the logo seems to be vying for attention, but it's understandable given how connected time-in-app is to ad revenue. I'm not expert but I think simply flattening t

I used tt-rss for a while as well and can highly recommend it. The forums are certainly hostile, but if you have a genuinely good question that hasn't been asked / answered before and thick skin, you'll likely get a semi-reas

This might be a niche market, but 4.7 oz (Oasis) down from 7.6 oz (Paperwhite) is nothing to scoff at for through hikers. People will gladly spend MUCH more than $170 to shave ounces on other equipment. The additional battery life also remo

It's because your customer (who writes requirements) typically doesn't know 1) what they actually want, or 2) what capabilities actually exist. This is why a good customer will allow the company to help them write their requiremen
