CyberpunkDad··on “Stop reverse engineering our code”
I felt embarrassment for the writer and Oracle. The fact that it was taken down confirms they felt that way as well upon reflection. It wasn't professional. Just my opinion.
CyberpunkDad··on Insufficient Sleep Is a Public Health Epidemic
As a lifetime fat person the best decision I made was to go on a paleo diet. Essentially: No grains, no legumes, no processed food, no dairy. Limit intake to : grass fed meat (when possible), veggies, some select nuts, limited fruit.

That in combination with stopping drinking, eliminating pop and just adding some mild walking has made a huge impact. I don't worry about portion size, counting calories etc.

If you are like me, you might want to check paleo out.

CyberpunkDad··on I quit the tech industry
Congrats to the author, if this refills the battery good for him. That being said, be thankful you didn't have to get up at the crack of dawn and commute like most of the world. Working at home only seems like a burden to those who don't have to commute.
CyberpunkDad··on In Search of the Red Cross' $500M in Haiti Relief
Just listened to the NPR piece the other day and it does really sound shady.
CyberpunkDad··on Experimental Animal Decompressions to a Near-Vacuum Environment [1965] [pdf]
For something supposedly from 1965 it looks a lot like a LaTex document. Was layout that good back in 65?
CyberpunkDad··on Why and How I Wrote My Academic Book in Plain Text
org-mode is decent for LaTex markdown substitution. * = Section = SubSection

Etc.

I think I still prefer to just write it in markdown. Word can't come close to the typesetting ability of LaTex.

CyberpunkDad··on Ebola Cases Could Reach 1.4M in 4 Months, C.D.C. Estimates
The problem is that the military does not have the kind of medical containment systems on a scale that they need. They just aren't equipped for this type of mission. Battlefield triage and hospitals won't help in this situation.
CyberpunkDad··on Show HN: Blot, a static blog powered by Dropbox
What advantage does dropbox and your service have over say hosting your site on github with Jekyll?
CyberpunkDad··on The Day I Met Jeff Bezos
Also, if making "the dumbest, most impatient, penny-pinching DICK HEAD out there" fills you with disgust, disdain, rage, sadness, etc. it might be time to reconsider your career choice. As much as we may wish it, the users never go away.
