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.
Make a music video:
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.
This one is unfortunately limited to Californians, but...
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). So then you end up having to…
You mean there aren't a bunch of moms and teachers who want to share one weird trick with me? Banks hate them!
Came here to post that. Somehow the real thing is even more horrifying than the joke menu.
People spend a lot of money on things that don't need to be so expensive. When I first started looking at "nice" watches, I was stunned to find that high-end ones can cost literally thousands of dollars, and they're actually less accurate than cheap quartz watches and need to be worn/wound regularly—automatic…
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.
This icon (or rather, the menu associated with the icon) is sometimes referred to as a hotdog menu or hamburger menu.
