Who'd walk the route more easily for 8h though? A random Western today or a random Roman then?

ETrade also started recently to include that disgusting thing in their News feed for watch lists -- as if it can really predict anything, with no way to turn it off (AFAICT). It's …

I can't understand why this company won't rebrand itself to something a bit catchier or better-sounding name than DuckDuckGo -- who the hell wants to say that ? Unless it's a self-…

Medium always is the message, eventually.

Lovely article with a happy ending! One thing that I am glad to have been taught early on in my career when it comes to debugging, especially anything involving HW, is to `make no …

I wonder if they had meetings or 'design committees' to find the most optimal shape with respect to the ease of killing prey eventually. One possibility on origin (totally made up …

As a supporting point, I think it's connected not only with mental functions, but also our senses. I have a weak memory in general, but I always remember the most mundane things in…

I was adamant on using one of those health/exercise tracking devices, mainly out of distaste of our modern habit to be constantly in the know of everything, but I gotta say, since …

This discussion reminds me a beautiful sentence I read in 'The Power and the Glory' by Graham Greene: "Hope is an instinct that only the reasoning human mind can kill."

> VS (ctrl+,) takes several seconds and intermixes search results for files and file contents, when I'm only interested in files. I hate this a lot. It's gotten so bad the last cou…

Or any time one dares to criticize Israel for their recent contributions to peace on Earth (wink wink) -- it has to be prefaced with "Let me say that I'm the biggest defender of th…

That's a good point, thanks.

I recently started using one of these. The other day, I was working out on a rowing machine and received an alert (twice!) that my heart rate was extremely high. I was surprised be…

My parents and their generation suffers a lot from this, I feel. They grew up in a time (and in a country, I guess) where any information that they'd digest on TVs, newspapers, etc…

Is it really that much different than e.g. a cook preparing carrots while onions are being cooked? Nobody needed to invent this as far as my knowledge of history goes; so, maybe th…

My concern is slightly different; it's the ease of debugging. And I don't mean debugging the code that I (or sb else) wrote, but the ability to freely modify the code to kick some …

That was a lengthy, but nice article/review about someone that I didn't know of before. Not strictly similar, but this brings to my mind Graham Greene's masterpiece, The Power and …

This book is so unexpectedly funny! Once I was reading it on the train and couldn't help but laugh loudly a couple of times. People in the compartment were perplexed.

Funny that you bring this up -- I feel exactly the same way and I even had more math background than average SW person. Being on the engineering side of things without much knowled…

I'd say it's first and foremost a political tool. Pseudo dictators especially love it. Let's say you're a mayor who needs to increase the price of a public utility by 10%, what do …

Thank you! This sounds like it's what I am after. I've been using Xiaomi phones for the same purpose, but they started neglecting software side heavily since last year or so. This …

I'm considering getting a Pixel 7 or 8, how do you like your device in general? I'm looking for a cheapish, hassle-free device that doesn't require much maintenance or tinkering wi…
