One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm walking in a crowded area, and as I follow someone through a doorway or other transition space, they stop and look around. The doorway or (whatever) is already a natural traffic…
The Klutz Book of Knots was one of my favorites as a kid, and cited Ashley throughout. Here's what it had to say about the square knot: "But Which Knot Is Really The Best Knot? A true landlubber's question, but one that…
I submitted Initech over a week ago and still don't see it.
Susan Fowler Rigetti posted a self-study curriculum last March: https://www.susanrigetti.com/math I don't know how good it is, but her earlier entries on Physics and Philosophy were well-received. HN thread:…
I can't tell if this is sincere or a send-up, because it's literally Apple's apologetic for everything. Always blame the customer. "If your phone has bad reception, it's because you're holding it wrong. Why would you…
I read a hard copy that was passed around my high school in the early 90s. The only chapter I remember was the one about tamping explosives in order to concentrate the force of the blast in the direction you want. That…
First exposure: Commodore PET at school, 1982. First computer at home: my dad brought home an IBM clone circa 1986. He had a buddy at work (he was an insurance agent) that was really into pirating games, who gave him…
I'm using CALDav for syncing. DAVx⁵ is on f-droid, I think.
What are you using in place of Google Maps? I migrated from Gmail to mailbox.org about a year ago, but Google Maps is the one Google app I can't seem to replace.
I have the college dreams fairly regularly. Usually they are about forgetting to attend class for a whole semester. But my other recurring dream is about being an LDS missionary again. I think that experience in real…
That's like saying typing a book on a keyboard or dictating a book is not writing a book.
I recently attended a sales meeting for group health insurance reps at Blue Cross Blue Shield of TX. They are going all-in on HMO plans. Of course everyone remembers how unpopular HMOs were in the 90s, deservedly so or…
I have several friends and family members, all active LDS, who have done BYU Pathway, and they all say the same thing: "Wow, is it churchy!" That first semester especially. These people are all very familiar with the…
That's funny, STORY is much less esoteric, isn't it?
ADIEU STROY All the vowels and the three most common consonants in two words.
I found this GIMP tutorial several years ago and have used this method ever since. I insert my signature into PDF documents using the stamp tool, unless the software has a more sophisticated method.…

My problem with ebooks has always been the typos introduced by imperfect OCR. I look forward to wider availability of graphic novels on color e-ink displays, though.
I'm in exactly the same boat. Currently trying HERE WeGo, it's okay. I think it's going to come down to reminding myself that Google Maps is not always as polished as it appears.
I would suddenly feel a lot better about things if this explained the resurgence of stuff like Flat Earth theory. Sadly, I don't think that's the case.
I bought a Kindle in 2012 but I think I'm finally done with it. I don't have any problem with the device or the format, I'm just tired of all the typos in ebooks. Yes, printed books have the occasional typo, but they…
Ugh. I have enjoyed Malcolm Gladwell's writing in the past, but this smacks of the Tucker Carlson defense.
Looks like correlation, not causation. Our precocious angels have been transforming into sullen monsters at the onset of adolescence since the beginning of time. Do we really think they would have stayed precocious…
I loved the knots book. It turned me on to Clifford Ashley, and also got me questioning the gospel according to Boy Scouts. BSA taught me that the square knot was some kind of lifesaver, and here Klutz was telling me it…
