Thanks. As somebody who's been in a bad funk these past couple of weeks, this is good advice for me—or rather, good advice for the sympathetic friends I'm complaining to!

If my experiences in college were any indicator, it's more the other way around: nothing motivates me to clean my dorm room like having a paper to write.

While I am a bit of a mechanical keyboard enthusiast (Model M, two Filcos, HHKB, and a handful of other models), I can't possibly see what somebody needs more than 6-key rollover for. Even when playing Descent and mashing keys to move along three different axes at once, I've never needed more than six simultaneous

Stack Overflow. Poke around for an answer to your question first, because chances are some other newbie has already asked it. If not, don't be afraid to create your own question—that's what the site is there for.

Oh... I was hoping for the other kind of bass.

Interviewing for a coding position sucks. You're expected to have intimate knowledge of certain fundamental concepts that, while useful, you never use or even think about in your actual day-to-day programming (quicksort vs. mergesort, Dijkstra's algorithm, sometimes even P/NP).

I use mine almost every day. It's not the fastest or the easiest method, nor does it make the best coffee, but it does all three without compromising too much in any one department.

That is really, really cool. It usually sticks out pretty obviously to me when somebody uses fake blur from an app, but it sounds like they actually care about a realistic approach to simulating a shallower depth of field.

Don't forget your firstborn child. Or is that just a San Francisco thing?

I'm a big fan of VSCO Cam (free for iOS and Android with additional presets available for purchase) for filters. For the most part, it goes more for a traditional film look rather than the extreme instant/cross-processed/"lomography" look of Instagram, although there are a few instant presets. And these guys know what

Only somewhat related, but does anybody know how to hide your personal email from LinkedIn search results? I use that address for LinkedIn stuff, but it feels like a weird invasion of privacy when recruiters email me directly—I thought that address was supposed to be hidden from people.
