    I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something about this format that I do not like. I feel like I don't retain anything maybe? Content is good, but something about the …

    Simple, but I am most excited to see a REPL here -- JShell. I have written so so many Tester classes when I just wanted to run a few lines of java.

    While this is a decent guide, I find that being skillful in latex comes from memorizing many highly specific commands. I spend most of my time googling for things such as "How to u…

    I think it's a matter of degree. If you usually sleep 7 hours a night, and you're only getting 4, then you will feel tired grumpy and sad. But if you stay up all night, you may sta…

    I have to say, this feels like a lazy hype-train post. Everyone is complaining about the lack of the esc key, but I'm sure it won't be so bad. It does depend somewhat on how integr…

    I am a cyclist in NYC and I try my best to follow the mentality of "I am a car." I do not run red lights. When I see bikers do this it seems highly dangerous. Maybe the Idaho stop …

    I'm fine with open office as long as you still have a dedicated desk. Otherwise it's annoying and difficult to find people.
