You make a lot of interesting (and colorful) points, but I'm not sure crisis is the right word. When you write: > Masculinity has always been in crisis and that crisis has been use…

Sacha Chua is an undersung emacs hero. She has faithfully published Emacs News for so long, quietly pushing good things forward, quietly helping people understand the weird thing a…

When I was about 20, I went to the local Barnes and Noble to find a book about programming. Picked up the O'Reilly Javascript book from around 2000. Had no idea what javascript was…

Keto community generally recommends replacing carbs with fat and keeping protein constant. Protein consumption is almost a constant (with some variability due to workout regimen, e…

I agree that this should always be considered, no matter the activity. But it is hard, and games like Chess make it particularly challenging. I will start a game of Go, completely …

I loved that manual too. I think we got a slightly different version with our IIGS, but I loved how inviting it was. I was probably 11, maybe 12. 15 years later in grad school I fo…

Cue the org-mode brigade! (Of which I consider myself a member.) I haven't used FreeMind specifically, but when I hear hierarchical organization with folding, I remember the rabbit…

I have this also. So many things to say I don't know where to begin. I feel like there is a distinct difference between the experiences of seeing the images when you are falling as…

I put Calvin and Hobbes up on the pedestal next to Winnie the Pooh (the first two books by AA Milne). It’s a weird connection between being an adult and being a child. Like a bolt …

In English, "spicy" (usually) means that it will cause your tongue to burn and/or tingle due to the effects of chili pepper or black pepper or hot mustard or anything that causes y…

I see your point and I don't blame you. But for myself, it is the opposite: I've always been a meat eater, and I'm looking for a vegetarian burger that mimics the taste and texture…

I stumbled on this video randomly, watched 5 minutes and then I was hooked. I really like this guy's approach to documenting the journey, and his attitude, especially when things g…

People are complaining that this is painful to read on Twitter, so I expected it would be painful. Then I actually followed the link and it was delightful! I'm not really a fan or …

Correct - website is gone now, replaced with the book.

I wish I could upvote this to the heavens. It's been almost ten years since I read it also. Was originally published as a fake blog, with all the posts backdated according the jour…

I noticed my boy was happy getting into cold water as a toddler (compared to adults who suffer during the transition from air to cold water). Now he's four years old, and a few wee…

I feel the same way. Would love to get behind a new shell that has a chance at ubiquity.
