I got exposed to programming neural networks in the early 90s. It solved certain problems incredibly fast like the traveling salesman problem. I was tinkering with 3D graphics and …

I love stuff like this and brainstorm ideas for the ones in my garage. Of course you could do a cheap ev conversion or do a 24 Hours of Lemons race. What if you simply took it apar…

Great point! I just uploaded them to https://waiveris.com/books/

How you would help a retired math professor that has a collection of books gathered over a lifetime? They are all math/physics related and many were passed along from other colleag…

Coldest winter of my life was near London. Heater was wired to cheap middle of the night electricity so you had to plan a day ahead to have hot water or heat. Friends had to go to …

Our Omron arm cuff one reads 20 pts too high. We didn’t realize until a doctor had us bring it in.

My Charge HR with “sensitive” sleep tracking setting was one of my favorite features. It always knew exactly how much sleep I got. I switched to a Garmin 935 and never look at the …

I actually use an old version of Photoshop in a Windows VM because it's faster than a native modern version. As a perk, I don't worry that it's going to break if I upgrade OSX.

I asked my father (retired math professor) and he responded "I am not sure what book to suggest. But if your friend wants to get away from the algebra of coordinate geometry maybe …

I've been with them for 2+ years and am hooked. We use Green Chef as well for 6 meaks per week. Everyone complains about the lack of convenience but it saves me mind capacity more …

My first experience with the "web" was a friend showing me this "browser" thing a friend was working on at another college. It was like the text link thing (gopher?) that let you r…

We have a toddler so time became extremely tight. Though it's been wonderful to have nice meals together as a family. The sheer time involved to plan and shop for ingredients makes…

Back when I worked for someone else, I switched to part time after I had been there several years. I would work Mon, Tues, Thurs and got paid 60% of my previous salary. I was more …

This is the thing that will make me leave them. I hate cutting those open to recycle them. Yes, you can reuse a few but what if you get 8 per month?

If you go Air, the i7 are quite fast and can get 8GB RAM.

I think the audio jack was removed as a step toward not requiring cables at all.

As someone that has worked for myself for 16 years, I will sorely miss the the ACA. Let me know if you have any recommendations because surely I'm missing something. - Before the A…

This is awesome! Thanks for creating and sharing it at a reasonable cost.

I use Photoshop regularly (over 18 years) and earlier this year I gave GIMP another honest 2-3 week try. There are some big conceptual differences, but the small things like it not…

At that pricing, I'm curious if it makes sense to put blobs in the database rather than S3. Any thoughts?

I totally know the feeling and have had to really dig deeply in the past year. Here are some things that worked. 1) Be ruthless about what you need to accomplish. This means choosi…

It's hard, but put in the effort and finish the degree. Practice excelling. It'll be a lot harder to finish it later, but it can give you skills and access to better paying jobs la…
