As a gamer, my issue is that the same graphics cards are much more expensive than just a couple of months ago, if you even find them. I live in Japan, and last year I bought a GTX …

As someone who worked in Manhattan and San Francisco and currently lives in Japan, San Francisco wages for tech workers are definitely the highest and most competitive that I've se…

I think what you're referring to was a South Korean actress and her ex-husband filmmaker being abducted back in the '70s. There's a book titled A Kim Jong-Il Production: The Extrao…

I thought it was a troll, but this account posted this a day ago: "About to turn 60, been a daily hardcore drug user for most of my life". So it seems like they're pretty used to t…

When I moved to the Bay Area (Berkeley), I had to take the bus to work, and I hated it because it was so unreliable. The AC Transit bus was never on time. A bus was supposed to arr…

I started to feel like this when I got to my 30s, especially when moving to San Francisco, where these issues you mention are much more pervasive than other places I used to live. …

I recently started taking L-Theanine and caffeine (mostly via coffee, but I occasionally use caffeine powder). It seems to give me some solid focus for a few hours, but to be hones…

Seems like it's only free if you have Kindle Unlimited.

While it's fine to not upgrade, especially if you already have a stable setup, not giving Windows 8 a chance based on YouTube reviews seems to be a bit unfair. Most conversations I…

Some of my Facebook friends actually went to Facebook to mention that Twitter was down. I wonder what would happen if both Twitter and Facebook were down simultaneously...

Rebooting my iPhone stopped the errors, and is currently downloading the update.

I've spent a good chunk of the past ten years using almost every moment reading up and learning about all things tech. This year, I decided to hold back on the tech stuff and start…

Thanks! I was able to use cDu6ytmRASJDgAgC.

This blog post is from nearly two years ago. Today's news (although related to the file editing functionality) is the fact that you can now fork and send a pull request of an edite…

Has working with this type of schedule made any sort of negative impact on your social life? I'm kinda settling into a similar routine with my work hours slowly creeping up, and I'…

If you're spending energy to really have to refrain yourself from telling your boss to fuck off, you should really try focusing that energy on looking for a better place to work at…

I remember getting this email when I bought a CD from them in 2007. I loved it, and thought the exact same thing as the author: "I'll do business with them again." Four years have …

I actually prefer USPS when I get some stuff (smaller items, like CDs) shipped to my apartment - They can actually use the mailbox instead of leaving it outside of my door, where i…

I'd say good pay allows you to live your life comfortably, regardless of geographic location.

I'm sure there are plenty of Linode users that don't know about this feature, or even long-time users that never bothered to read up about it.

I bought one last year, and I love it, although admittedly I don't do a whole lot with it - I use it mostly for remote SSH tunneling and as a file server with an external 1 TB driv…

About a week before my contract for my job in New York City was up, I decided to take the plunge and try my hand in landing some work in the Bay Area. In less than a week, I had be…
