    IMO it's essentially marketing themselves. There can be good lessons there and they can be worth reading, but it's important to remember that the post itself is often there to "sho…

    I love the illustrations in the slides. How long did it take you to learn flip chart drawing and how did you do the overlays in LaTeX?

    This article conviced me decide to research and possibly try using Dexedrine/Dextroamphetamine. Wish me the best! I always wanted to try a potentially powerful nootropic.

    Reply to a deleted comment, mentioning that once the client wants to make edits themselves you end up back at wordpress: Absolutely correct. Unfortunately, I wouldn't trust most of…

    IMO, just about any will do, but the simplest thing that'll get the job done is probably the best choice - less inertia. If all you need is a markdown-powered blog, then choose som…

    I'll be honest, as I saw the big "NO", I thought "not another one of these" and closed the tab. Perhaps seemingly showing a result before I've answered questions is an anti-pattern…

    I might be a bit grumpy, but I'm getting really sick of these type of pages. There's no information, just a smart-arse "NO". It doesn't help anyone and it's so overdone I don't thi…

    It's not something I've used to any great extent, just that I use the steam runtime developed for it on my arch system and the lead developer has been a guest on a few podcasts I'v…
