I'll second this. I keep a fountain pen with my notebook because fountain pens make me want to write more.

You have to click it to make it do anything. It's a bookmarklet.

NYT is pretty obnoxious in other ways, though, especially with a touchscreen. If you click and drag to highlight something, it navigates to a different article. If you double-click to select a word, it changes the text size. If you accidentally hit the left or right arrow key while trying to scroll up or down, it again tries to load the next article.

I'm sure you're well aware that this depends on the workplace.

TFS+git would be my guess.

Their stock started climbing about 8 months before they got rid of stack ranking. I wouldn't chalk up Microsoft's stock growth to "they suddenly figured out how to treat people better."

What bugged me more was the snippets designed to show how hard it is to write shell scripts. It looked like the author just didn't know enough about their tools:

>How to touch all files in foo (and its subfolders)?

    find foo -print0 | xargs -0 touch
    find foo -exec touch {} \;

I agree with the other commenters who think it's fine to write whatever you like on your own blog, I just feel that it went from interesting historical warts to bagging on legacy systems because they're complicated.

I can pop my ears by plugging my nose and making a "k" or "g" sound. Comes in handy since my Eustachian tubes are essentially useless.

CBD has absolutely no recreational appeal, so if you followed intuition rather than calling a lawyer it would make sense that it didn't fall under rules that consider marijuana a drug with a high potential for abuse.

That said, I'd hope anyone extracting and selling the stuff as a business would do their due diligence.

I tried with the tone generator linked elsewhere in the thread. One, there's no pulse, which isn't surprising because tinnitus is all in my head. Two, at least for me, tinnitus is not a single well-defined pitch. It fluctuates. Sometimes just by concentrating on it I can move the frequency up and down.

I found a frequency that was pretty close to what I hear (it's convenient that my left ear is mostly normal), and cranked it in my right ear. I now hear something like a distant swarm of bees, or a server room full of very loud fans.

I had basically the same problem, but was unable to adapt. I got my hearing aid when I was 17 or 18. Everything sounded tinny and harsh, and my hearing in my left ear is more or less normal.

I guess the bigger problem was that putting it in my ear made me very dizzy, but I'd have tried to deal with that if the sound weren't so bad.

I agree absolutely that this is exceedingly annoying. That said, it's popular among the people who control design decisions so it's here to stay, for now.

So do we use a javascript solution that also performs like crap, or accept that this is a common use case and provide a standard way to do it?

I'm sure there's at least a few who saw this coming, argued against writing a HAL that the kernel developers didn't want, and feel at least a little vindicated right now.

Good teams can form within bad organizations, but it's a vulnerable position to be in as an employee. One reorg and suddenly it's all bad.

I'm not shocked that nobody looks at your GitHub. Reading other people's code takes time and energy that a lot of people aren't going to spend if they have a ton of candidates to sift through.
