I'm in the market for a tablet upgrade because my Galaxy S3 Tab is feeling quite laggy and is years out of support. I was excited to give the iPad Air a shot as I've heard so many …

Flash Boys by Michael Lewis was a good read, IMHO.

I think your second comment is the explanation for your first. There are certainly cheaper boards available, but the form factor of the Uno allows for use with a whole host of hats…

I'm sold. Where can I buy Moonball swag?

I was surprised to hear that he uses GitHub Copilot. I'd assumed that with his understanding of the language that it would be easier/faster to just type what he wanted, but he said…

I love this comment, especially your last line. It sounds so peaceful!

Thank you. I also love the verb "inmiced" given how often that's relevant for studies that are posted here.

Oh cool, I didn't know they had this feature. I wish they had feedly integration, too.

Could you share your settings.json file? I'd be very interested in your setup.

I've read (and enjoyed) "Winners Take All" but I'm still having trouble understanding your argument. Could you explain what you mean by the "government-controlled economic environm…

A related book that I found very helpful is Radical Acceptance by Tara Brach. It introduced to me the idea of "self-compassion" which has been much more beneficial to me than self-…

Wow, you're right, I guess that kind of kills my theory. I knew that flu was which explained why there's a new vaccine every year and it's often not effective against the current s…

My understanding is that we're unable to created effective vaccines against RNA viruses as RNA replication doesn't have the built-in "checksum" mechanism that DNA has. When DNA rep…
