Maybe try to find tech groups and hacker spaces around you. Here in Europe we have the Chaos Computer Club, there's probably equivalents where you live. Or join hackathons. I've al…

Kudos for the question generator, one of my profs did that too and it was such a lifesaver.

Right now I'm working on a suite of tools for calendar/schedule/to-dos, money expense tracker, etc. All for myself because the available tools are either too bloated, or don't have…

>you would have have to create a feature for feature better product, and offer it at a lower price point. Have you tried out Affinity? I'm not sure about the features yet, but it's…

I'm hopeful for the new GIMP release. There was a thread about it yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16686941 Sadly, when it comes to things like context-aware fill, P…

I really enjoyed that too, this is exactly how you do unobtrusive ads. I'd maybe put them on gradient backgrounds too, since the black disrupts the visual flow a bit.

Went to university for 4 years, learned some basics and lots of mathematics and theoretical stuff. I could tell you how an operating system works, how data is transferred between n…

There's a difference between being an introvert and having (clinical) social anxiety. It's an irrational fear and no amount of "realizing" will help with that. Cognitive behavioral…

There was also a study done on rats that showed they would not seek out drugs when in an a nurturing and stimulating environment. Kurzgesagt have made a great video about it: https…

Those names are really something. Love it.

It's a bit of a dilemma, isn't it. I would love an alternative to Photoshop or Affinity that actually offers the same features and has a nice UI (let's be real, it's something most…

Usually get up between 6 and 7am. My body basically forces me into bed by 11pm, often earlier. It's not as fun as staying up until the am every night, but I sure don't miss feeling…

You deeply underestimate the wealth of the infamous "1%".

Hadn't really considered the natural sciences there, you're right! I was talking mainly from a tech/engineering perspective and at least in my generation ( filthy millenials ) and …

>if you have only a bachelor, people assume something went wrong. The target at university always was a Master's degree. What? This is definitely not true in Germany, at least not …

Same. There really needs to be a good alternative to manage and discover events in your area, but most will probably fail due to the missing userbase/users' reluctance to switch to…

Yep, that's what I thought. What works best for me is keeping it as natural as possible most of the time - lots of fruits and vegs, legumes, full-grain bread, rice, sometimes a bit…

When you say "no sugar at all, especially added sugar", do you include natural sugar in fruit (and some vegetables)?

1. Telegram. 2. You tell them it has cooler stickers.

Being a 100lbs female, caffeine seems to have a much stronger effect on me than most other people. I get jittery and anxious, and when I have coffee after 12pm I have a hard time f…
