I'll second this. I keep a fountain pen with my notebook because fountain pens make me want to write more.

You have to click it to make it do anything. It's a bookmarklet.

NYT is pretty obnoxious in other ways, though, especially with a touchscreen. If you click and drag to highlight something, it navigates to a different article. If you double-click…

I'm sure you're well aware that this depends on the workplace.

TFS+git would be my guess.

Their stock started climbing about 8 months before they got rid of stack ranking. I wouldn't chalk up Microsoft's stock growth to "they suddenly figured out how to treat people bet…

What bugged me more was the snippets designed to show how hard it is to write shell scripts. It looked like the author just didn't know enough about their tools: >How to touch all …

I can pop my ears by plugging my nose and making a "k" or "g" sound. Comes in handy since my Eustachian tubes are essentially useless.

CBD has absolutely no recreational appeal, so if you followed intuition rather than calling a lawyer it would make sense that it didn't fall under rules that consider marijuana a d…

I tried with the tone generator linked elsewhere in the thread. One, there's no pulse, which isn't surprising because tinnitus is all in my head. Two, at least for me, tinnitus is …

I had basically the same problem, but was unable to adapt. I got my hearing aid when I was 17 or 18. Everything sounded tinny and harsh, and my hearing in my left ear is more or le…

I agree absolutely that this is exceedingly annoying. That said, it's popular among the people who control design decisions so it's here to stay, for now. So do we use a javascript…

I'm sure there's at least a few who saw this coming, argued against writing a HAL that the kernel developers didn't want, and feel at least a little vindicated right now.

Good teams can form within bad organizations, but it's a vulnerable position to be in as an employee. One reorg and suddenly it's all bad.

I'm not shocked that nobody looks at your GitHub. Reading other people's code takes time and energy that a lot of people aren't going to spend if they have a ton of candidates to s…

Windows 10 actually has some fancy linux emulation stuff ( https://insights.ubuntu.com/2016/03/30/ubuntu-on-windows-the... ). Personally I wanted to like PowerShell but its syntax …

Do you mean the all-22? I don't think they actually have 22 different camera feeds.

Yep, the one thing everybody hates in baseball is the national broadcast. Interviews during the game, commentators getting lost in the stories they're trying to tell while importan…

This is changing. They believe that open offices are the Future of the New Collaborative Workforce or some similar nonsense.

Every new dating app that comes out is an attempt to make dating apps not suck. No one has succeeded so far. There are a small number of people with a ton of success who know how t…

Protecting unpopular organizations is taking a principled stand for free speech. Protecting people who profit from breaking people's web services is not. "We don't take it down unl…

In addition to the other helpful replies there's some more information here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-dollar_salary >In the United States, this approach impacts personal t…

On the other hand, "Immune Boosting†" products are rampant and they get to make all kinds of unsubstantiated claims about their capacity to Boost the Immune System so long as they …

It's kind of creepy to watch that in light of the link on Mr Skinner's history, which included allegations that Ms. Cole was an enthusiastic participant in the brutal torture of Br…
