The problem isn't so much signing up, the problem is that from their website, without signing up, I have no idea what their service does and what are it's features. A small paragraph and maybe a screenshot would do wonders for my

I've always been a bit curious, do these types of programs make any attempt to identify whether they're running in a VM?

I agree with this. I have though about it extensively, as an introvert who hates large cities, and I think (at least for me) a city between 500k and 1 million inhabitants spread out over a sizeable area is ideal. It has some of the benefits

I'm overall surprised at how unpopular/unknown wxWidgets is when the discussion turns to cross platform UI toolkits. I've used it a lot, as well as other popular toolkits (Qt, GTK, etc.) and I find that wx is, at the very lea

While not exactly a convertible, the Honda e sounds right up your alley. It's probably the only electric car I'm looking forward to anymore.

The thing worth mentioning is that becoming a famous author and writing quality books are different goals, achieved through different means. Cynically, I would say that they're unrelated, but in reality I'd say writing quality boo

The complaint isn't about the capability for mass surveillance, but the normalization of it, in the public mind. The capability has existed for a pretty long time, mostly out of the public eye, with occasional bursts of outrage when so

For me, it's a pretty interesting article on a topic I very much enjoy and they did some very impressive work, but it's ruined by some pretty bad UX. Reading this felt like a chore. I would greatly prefer a PDF file or flat websit

Legal alcohol limits are a guideline and not a solid rule. Ideally, they were designed with the idea that personal responsibility would play a role in your decision to drive after having a beer. After all, you can have zero alcohol in your

Taking a look at that report, it seems to be missing an important statistic when it comes to motorcycle crashes. What is the fatality and serious injury rate when comparing when the motorcyclist is at fault vs when the other vehicle is at f

It took some time to find a combination of medicine that worked for me, and I was pretty lucky as far as that is concerned. So my first bit of advice to anyone considering medicine is to stick with it and follow directions. It's also i

I suppose I should clarify the kind of mindfulness I'm talking about. Basically what I was taught was how to pay attention to what I'm feeling and where those emotions are coming from. This helps a lot with lowering my anxiety and

The beauty of communities like these is that I can make an account and talk about my experiences without tying it to my real identity. Unfortunately I don't have the courage to do that yet, it's easier to be honest when the stakes

Yes, mediation, mindfulness and several other techniques for controlling emotions were things that we tried with my psychiatrist. Meditation didn't really work for me but mindfulness sure did.

Not always true. I frequently procrastinate on things that I actively enjoy doing and want to do. There are times when I want nothing more than to be doing something and I still procrastinate doing it. This applies to things that aren'

If I were to put wires in roads, it would be for wireless charging, so that autonomous taxis and delivery vehicles could keep driving forever (or at least until they require maintenance) without needing to stop to charge. I can see this hap

To a certain extent I agree. I had already written at length in another post about this topic, but my opinion is that what we think of as a "car" right now will never be fully autonomous. I see the future diverging into two paths,
