Unfortunately people who like to socialize much less than their colleagues seem to have these labels put on them quite frequently.

First the unrelated concepts argument. It's generally hard to know if a concept is related to your research without understanding it or knowing about it. Then there's the dunning k…

A friend of mine couldn't share his screen on meet or teams and I had to change it from Wayland to X11 to make it work. His was a Ubuntu 22.04 distro (GNOME) 4 month old install. W…

Does screen sharing work on wayland now?

That's a very one-dimensional analysis of a complex problem. You can't ignore the obvious physical differences and roles in reproduction. These factors affect how you relate to a l…

Read books by Gary Provost on writing. Writing Tools by Roy Peter Clark. Draft number 4 by McPhee. They contain a variety of ideas. Writing Tools is great if you want to identify a…

There's was a great article on HN on how C is more than a programming language. It is a protocol for most of computing. I would suggest you to look into the actual influence of C o…

There's a great George Carlin bit on how changing the names to less severe sounding terms can actually be harmful. He gives the example of shell-shock being changed to PTSD which s…

The classes being online is a major factor. Those classes are engagement hell. Also research has shown video conferencing is much more fatiguing than a real meeting. Even if you st…

It's not pleasurable if any one of the two is dehydrated and has a dry tongue.

Since minorities are more likely to buy old used cars that make more noise in general they will have higher rates of offense.

It's always interesting how artists go from generic to eccentric. There's no one as divisive as Picasso. Are there any artists who just took the fundamentals and did everything tex…

One of my friends ruptured some discs and couldn't code for a year because he couldn't sit without pain. This kind of a setup would've helped him.

I don't see how they can come up with software hardware integration and optimisation by working in silos that converge at the eleventh hour. In fact the closed ecosystem criterion …
