Appreciate the old.reddit link! Saved me a couple seconds.

+1 for Bitwarden. It is literally the best solution out there. Been getting to increase uptake in personal circles with (very) limited success. The wife keeps trying to convince me…

Looks like I'm in the minority here but I was not impressed by the visualizations or the color scheme or anything. Oh well...

Yes, it's definitely something you want to experience in the physical form! It's hard to describe what reading it feels like towards the latter parts of the book- you feel like you…

I was shocked by the reference to Navidson's house from the House of Leaves. The ending to your first paragraph is also interesting in that HoL starts with "This is not for you."

Heart breaks for Bipin Joshi and his family. Can't imagine what they had to go through :(

Off topic but can anyone tell me why the [sic] in 'The Quiet Skies [sic] program assigned officers from the Federal Air Marshals Service ...'? Also see numerous typos in the articl…

His name is Sanduk Ruit and he's Nepali. A huge inspiration!

I agree with you on that point. This fatalistic attitude is also often mentioned when discussing how the Indian subcontinent remained colonized for so long. I do not know enough ab…

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed both poems but remain partial to Brodsky's- probably a matter of taste and preference. However, your conclusion (or at least the way I interpreted it)…

From my experience, there's no definition as such but having your study "published" implies that it went through a peer-review process featuring at least two qualified referees and…

Wow! You weren't kidding. People in my field often joke that papers in biology, health etc. tend to list every person they met on the day of submission as authors. But this one has…

I also have this question. Moreover, the presumption with "complex" discussions is that the participants will seek to engage despite (relatively) small barriers, which presents (im…

Amazing thinker. His collaborative book with Hofstader, The Mind's I, has left a profound impression.

From the Guidelines on what to submit: "On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sent…

Funny seeing you here. I'm 99 percent certain you went to school with my brother at Pulchowk. Blog looks interesting. Will keep an eye out.

Wonderful poem. Thanks!

This is what baffled me. The claim that access restrictions are justified because they enable peer reviews is absurd given that peer review is entirely a non-profit exercise.

Interesting list- a lot of great points. Two minor pedantic observations: (0) I think adding lots of divergent colors should only be done to serve a purpose. In this case, imo the …

Same, I grew up in Chitwan- home of the Tharus. It's sad how little we know about the indigenous cultures around us. Homogeneity accelerated by modernity is oftentimes lamentable.

You can change that in the settings. It's under 'Tabs' in the 'General' section of 'Settings' from the hamburger menu in the top-right (check/uncheck "Enable Container Tabs"). I qu…

I never really got into their stuff. Frankly, it's just too much. I definitely see why people like them- especially those who play music themselves. It's hard not to marvel at the …

This was going to be my comment too. N = 20 is atrocious and that too only over 2 weeks. Think any significant, measurable changes to mental health outcomes would probably take a l…

"Whereof one can not speak, thereof one must be silent." (per google translate)

> In a practical sense it adds absolutely nothing of any positive value to remind people of this fact... all it does is make the reader's day a little more depressing. Have you con…
