Wallace Stegner, 1983: "National parks are the best idea we ever had. Absolutely American, absolutely democratic, they reflect us at our best rather than our worst." Source: https:…

If you are interested in an IBM Model M I recommend the Unicomp UB4044A ( http://www.pckeyboard.com/page/product/UB4044A ). It's a IBM Model M with USB. I bought one over a decade …

I’m surprised no one has mentioned Hal Lasko (The Pixel Painter). Hal started using Microsoft Paint when he got a computer on his 85th birthday until his death at 99 in 2014. He ma…

This reminded me of a passage on pilot checklists from The Checklist Manifesto by Atul Gawande: > Commercial pilots have been using checklists for decades. Gawande traces this back…

I can’t help but think having such autonomy is tied to profitability. I’m sure there are plenty of examples where an employee at a profitable company doesn’t have autonomy. But how…

This applies to any job: work where what you do is the core discipline. At a law firm, be a lawyer. At a medical practice, be a doctor. As a software engineer, work at a company wh…

I was reminded of this ( http://techland.time.com/2012/04/02/25-years-of-ibms-os2-the... ) when OS/2 turned 25 in 2012. So this year marks its 30th anniversary. From page 3: > In N…

Not unprecedented. They skipped Office 13.

I believe Tim Ferriss said he wrote his first book entirely in Evernote but now raves (with others) about Scrivener. Keep up the good work.

Have the trip details (like route) been released yet? Is he only stopping at Supercharger location? I'd like to meet him and follow along a while. I'm not a stalker. Really. :)

Most 'normal' people already give electric vehicles a cynical eye. The people who already believe in them don't need more convincing. The cynics need convincing. A breakdown will o…

I've been using a UNICOMP UB4044A ( http://pckeyboard.com/page/UKBD/UB4044A ) since mid 2007 and it. is. fantastic. I love the tactile feedback from the keys. My co-workers even fi…

Gull-wing doors are a smart move, sales wise. They give you the exotic feel. But I'm concerned with them in practice. Since no height specification is given, I used this image as a…

From what I've read the one exception to this rule is stretching the hip flexors will actually improve your vertical jump.

I think Telltale Games is the current version of the old LucasArts we all feel nostalgic for.

I'm in agreement with you on this. OUYA has proven to be very receptive to community feedback so it's good to voice concerns. It has a good chance of being reassessed.

Admittedly not a MB expert but I was referring to the W203 2000 - 2006 C230 hatchback, aka Sports Coupe. Generally not well-loved for legitimate reasons.

EV needs to 1) deliver the same features, performance, and convenience as current vehicles at a comparable price or 2) deliver considerable more than current vehicles to just an in…

Already mentioned and it's a minor point, but regarding putting files into the database... When I worked at MS on SharePoint, we actually transitioned from storing files on the fil…
