I know web developers who just put together WordPress sites and that’s how it’s been for decades. Words matter but you need a thousand of them. Someone could say they’re “into rock…

I legitimately tried my best to like XLST on the web back in the day. The idea behind XLST is nice — creating a stylesheet to transform raw data into presentation. The practice of …

I think this is a basic “being an adult” skill to be honest. We all know those friends that you can’t criticize because they’ll take it poorly.

A few things: - Ratings are very personal. I find some movies funny but others don’t. - There’s more factors involved but there’s no point mentioning them because the movies I like…

Here is a long ass post with some more but they come with a huge disclaimer — they are VERY personal opinions: If you care a lot about plot and hate holes, go for critic >70%. 60-6…

Same. I’m big into filmmaking and arthouse films. But other times I may just want something simple. Using RT’s two-axis score distribution helps narrow down movies.

There was an economies of scale back then with OS-level UI components. If Microsoft spent money on UX research that improved its UI controls, it would benefit a lot of people. Esse…

Maximizing productivity comes from maximizing efficiency. Efficiency is about sitting down and analyzing your tasks holistically and doing min-maxing to ensure every process achiev…

50% of my college education was general education though. And frankly I find it just as valuable.

I like to draw with a mouse. Just takes practice, like anything.

Yeah it’s not universally true. But for some people, there are low hanging fruit like “cut out 4 Pepsi’s a day” (600 calories). If you are already eating reasonable healthy and sti…

Less obvious things that I’ve found over the years are: - Some people just don’t like to eat that much. They don’t actually have a faster metabolism. Eating is just a chore to them…
