Reminded me of a great sleep app I used to use. It's called Gentle Alarm and it really is a great hack. I don't know if the authors of the software came up with this idea but it works great. Here's how it works. If you…
While I agree with the general premise, it appears Harvey Silverglate is a fraud. This came up on HN a while ago and I looked up a few of the cases mentioned. A brief search revealed that these people were all actual…
So was Ronald Fisher. He was a big proponent of eugenics.
I agree in general, but in many parts of Italy they generally fry everything in extra virgin olive oil.

Seems to me they found a witch. Or is bigotry just a myth?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but blacklisting was done by the government. It wasn't just some business owners that decides they weren't going to hire non-communists. Big difference.
C++ FAQ Lite is actually the "lite" version of the C++ FAQs (http://www.amazon.com/FAQs-2nd-Edition-Marshall-Cline/dp/020...) which is great.
Yes, also Effective STL. These books turned me from a C++ coder into the "the C++ guy" at work.
Just because a system is chaotic doesn't mean nothing about it can be predicted.
I have read that before no fault divorces it was common to make up something that someone did in order to be granted a divorce. It's sad, but I think what he is described as doing was seen as more reasonable back then.
Another one is Asus. I always thought it was "A-sys". Turns out it's "Uh-seuss" like Dr. Seuss, with the accent over the last syllable.
Music is even worse for me than chatter. I think it's because I'm a musician, I can't help but concentrate on it. One other thing I've noticed about myself in this regard is that annoying noise irrationally enrages me…
> Err... bigger isn't always better, but I won't say no to a bigger noggin. There is evidence that our heads would have kept growing if it wasn't for the fact that it makes it pretty likely that women will die in…
boost has many problems, but I think not using any of it just because some parts of it are bad isn't very useful. In this particular example it is very easy to screw it up. Your way involves many more lines of code and…
Even better: class foo : boost::noncopyable { public: foo(); };
Timely. I'll be filing paperwork for the exact same thing tomorrow morning. Did you hit any obstacles?
You're right of course, but that last jump is quite a bit larger than the others.
I've heard good things about that book, I probably should get a copy. I didn't word my question very well. I was wondering where you got your examples. None of the ADHD info I've read says anything about shyness or eye…
This is kind a little off topic but I have a question for you. I am in the middle of being diagnosed with ADHD (I'm 30). It was actually HN that prompted me to take action, but that's another story which I can expand on…
>there is a reason that a task killer is the first thing every Android phone needs. Hard to take seriously after read this.
I've always heard it in reference to politicians.
Everyone is wired differently. This is exactly why I go to libraries to work/study and not coffee shops. Listening to people yammer away is the last thing I want when I'm trying to concentrate. I can't get a thing done…
