Same here, some of my earliest memories are of an old ms-dos mickey mouse game, where you were required to look through a booklet and enter in codes to perform actions.

It's short for Graphic Interchange Format, not Jraphic Interchange Format.

His last point is my favorite, I feel useless at work if I don't get decent sleep. He should append working out and going for walks to that as well.

The best way I've found (cold showering only for muscle recovery) is to get your face/head wet first. Every other way seems less comfortable to me. It's similar to jumping into a pool versus stepping in slowly.

I would imagine the cost of isolating patient zero like this is much lower than letting it spread.

I wonder why they chose to use a clock, something that only ever moves in one direction, as their analogy.

Maybe a thermometer would be more optimistic, as that can rise and fall.

"build something that scratches your own itch."

Awesome advice.

This is awesome, but doesn't seem to work for people looking to gain healthy weight.

5,000 calories/day is hard enough without needing to eat 3 bowls of corn flakes and 9 cups of greek yogurt for breakfast.

You can rent a jetski at Treasure Island, FL and see wild dolphins in the bay for the same price as SeaWorld tickets.

I'm a Jr. Engineer and I really appreciate working in a positive learning environment with a bunch of experienced, helpful Senior Devs.

Jocko Willink puts out an excellent podcast focusing on learning leadership and discipline lessons via military history books from the perspective of a Navy SEAL.

I don't listen to it too much because it gets pretty dark (My Lai, WWI, Chechnya), but every episode I've listened to has been worthwhile.

The "Harm to Ongoing Matter" Report

A big benefit to forcing your kids to drive manual when they get their license is that most of their friends will be unable to borrow your kid's car.

A scholarship for a CS program seems a much more worthy cause, as everyone with an internet connection has access to learn everything needed to begin a career in tech.

I disagree with your comparison saying Medicine is to Tech, as Secretarial Work is to Medicine. The entry to tech is extremely forgiving and easy compared to Medicine. I believe Medicine is much more important to society on an individual level than tech ever will be. A more accurate comparison would have been Law.

My sister works in an O.R. performing heart surgeries, saving lives. I make websites. We both like what we do.

She thinks my job is dreadfully boring. I would hate the hours she works, and the finality (lack of version control/ctrl-z) that comes with working in the medical field would stress me out every day.

Different strokes for different folks.

Anyone who argues that there should be "More women in tech" needs to go visit a medical college. Completely filled with super smart women interested in science.

If STEM women found Coding as interesting as they did Medicine (which is arguably more competitive and prestigious), we wouldn't have any shortage of women writing code. There is nothing wrong with either way, just let people do what they like to do.

I seriously doubt only 4,000 people have seen the video. The real question is where does it end? Sure that video is terrible, but so are the clips from Mexican Cartels and ISIS, which are widely available online. 9/11, robberies gone wrong caught on CCTV, and tons of Military footage where people are shown getting killed/injured are still freely available. Then you have accident videos, both industrial and automotive/motorcycle. While gory, they can be argued important as people can learn from the mistakes made in those clips.

I don't think it's possible to truly block a video, and I don't think Facebook or a Government should even try. The end user should be responsible for what they choose to watch on these systems. At most, I think a simple graphic content warning should be in place.

Wow this is really cool, well done!

To facebook's credit: I created a brand new email address and unique password to be used exclusively for my Facebook account, and 6 years later (with no password changes), I have received no spam and had no discernable security issues.

Maybe I was just fortunate, but everyone should use a burner email if they choose to use Facebook.

I wonder if the nearly unlimited free-time they have will offset their lack of internet access when it comes to learning speed.

I used to move furniture and I much preferred the type of straps that would wrap around your wrists, under the appliance, to the other lifter's wrists over the furniture dollies.

I wonder if it is possible to disable a drone with a barrage of powerful air vortices. This would solve the GPS/camera navigation problem without disabling aircraft systems, and it would prevent any collateral damage caused by launching projectiles in the air.

It would need to be vehicle mounted and automated to fire rapidly, but would be interesting to see in action. (And probably a lot of fun to operate)

I wonder if an air vortex cannon could be built powerful enough to take one of these down

Why do they have to be cups, instead of little coffee-filled teabags you pop in the machine instead?

Dealerships and carmax will be your worst, but easiest options.

The best way is to sell privately directly to the new owner without a middleman. Advertise on craigslist and Facebook, clean your car like new, and channel your inner used-car salesman. Be honest, but do not let anyone drive your car until they have signed the bill of sale and paid for it.

Most importantly, remember that the car is worth what someone will pay for it. KBB and Edmund's calculators are not gospel.

Thank you for finding this! Me and my siblings used to play with this for hours.

This reminded me of a physics toy I saw ~10 years ago where you would draw simple two-dimensional robots with legs and muscles, optimize their gait, and race them.

If only I could remember the name of it...

It's way easier for a beginner to crash on a snowboard than on skis. The difference is that it's way easier to crash really hard on skis than it is on a board.

Once you catch an edge or slide out on a board, you're on the ground. I've seen skiers fall back on to their skis and rocket down the hill uncontrolled.

I really like the EDX Harvard CS50 course. It takes someone from near-zero computer knowledge up through algorithms, C-weirdness, through basic web-application development.

16ish weeks of content (It's an actual college class) but completely free. It has a high production value and tons of support/ease of use too, with it's own custom in-browser IDE.
