Thank you for this. I am at a different age but the same ability.

That logic seems like it could justify any terrible working conditions and pay as long as somebody’s desperate enough to eat to take it.

Code Switch podcast did a good episode on DNA tests & race recently:

agreed. I do contract work and had a surprising 12 month period without payment for work (i work on 6-12 month contracts): I put 12k on my 0% interest credit card between balance transfers and daily living order, and am now paying it off. The whole thing is going to cost me about $200 and meant I always knew my bills…

I’m not saying you shouldn’t buy it, but it feels like I’m violating the spirit of fair trade to buy coffee this cheap

I do believe that if you want to support a website and aren’t paying for it, you should leave the ads on: but if it’s literally more ads than writing, I no longer care if I support this website.

That’s 473 words cut up between 4 ads and 4 boxes suggesting other articles. Today’s the day I take lifehacker off my adblocker whitelist.

You could definitely make your own comparable tools, but that’s kind of the point — software’s easy, behavior change is hard. Its videos & webinars focus on behavioral change and how you think about money, and gives you super-basic tools to change your behaviour. It’s the opposite of “download this app and you’ll…

That’s a good deal, but coffee growers get really screwed. If you want cheap coffee that doesn’t screw farmers, I recommend Trader Joe’s coffee with the Rainforest Alliance Seal. If you want fancier ethical coffee, I love Just Coffee (but there are many good brands)

If you came here b/c you want to change your behavior, I highly recommend You Need A Budget (YNAB). It’s a modern interface to keep on a budget. It has an app that’s critical to the process, but its central idea is just helping you plan and stick to a budget. Fine, apps alone don’t change your behavior, planning and…

Hey the headline isn’t in line with common guidelines for describing people with disabilities, and editors really should know better.

I was alone, stoned, and trapped in an elevator once in college. The secret trick is to remove the mitten the door closed together on.

Nope. The best dividers I’ve had are Amazon boxes. Cut the top flaps off, and they’re all standard sizes so you they can interlock. Their most common size (A1, or 10x7x3.25) fits 12 pairs of rolled up socks or men’s underwear.

ARTICLE CORRECTION: you need to spend $10 including the cost of the burger, not on top of the cost of the burger.

yeah i figure he mechanisms vary, but it’s interesting how memorizing dozens of commands to input into a very generic text-based command line remains so critical to UX. favorites bars, hotkeys, voice actions, there’s a hundred new ways to input, but a generic box that knows hundreds of one(ish)-word commands remains…

As Google adds quick commands to its search function (from weather to “do a barrel roll”) and search functions to the address bar, it's really just recreating the command line.

An don't forget Boomerang! It lets you schedule emails to return to your inbox as reminders (eg for follow ups) and schedule emails. I use it for emails I'm afraid to send, like networking and follow ups. I write them, tell myself I'm not REALLY sending it and schedule it to go out 8 hours later, so if I realize I…
