All of the links under "product" seem to be relative to whatever the current page is. That only works on the front page.

It's not for me. I can see the appeal of these shortcuts, but I can see it being a wtf down the road once I've forgotten that I have them in place. Also with something like auto-co…

So I am not alone! There seem so few people who hold this view these days.

I was able to login just now using an email address.

Out of curiosity, I had a look at my account on glassdoor and my name is "Rollo Tomasi". Seems about right :)

Goodreads should consider putting some effort into the platform they have allowed to languish for years.

I was interested in the claim that it is warm-blooded (based on your quote). I went to the article and the link associated with the term 'warm-blooded' leads to an article that mak…

I like it. I thought it was pretty calm and reasonable. Maybe some things could be worded a little better, but I'm not sure why there are so many strong, negative reactions about i…

Is that a clang based shell? ;p

Yeah, I doubt it's ever going to catch on.

Being able to better communicate with one another is obviously a good thing. The point is that the language being used isn't facilitating that and that is why the autistic communit…

The reason that some autistic people get upset by that usage is that is diminishes how they experience life. It's like saying, 'everyone is a little black'. There is a big differen…

Does anyone know of a way to get better recommendations from youtube? I do use the 'not interested' button to provide feedback, but it is a bit of a blunt instrument and doesn't pr…
