What's the file format? I hope the best for your app, but I hope I can still use those files if something happens to the company. I converted to .txt files 10 years ago for everything todo, but wouldn't mind a specialized utility for it!

The National Science Board (Board, NSB) is required under the National Science Foundation (NSF) Act, 42 U.S.C. § 1863 (j) (1) to prepare the biennial Science and Engineering Indicators (Indicators) report for and transmit it to the president and Congress every even-numbered year. The report is prepared by the National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) within NSF under the guidance of the Board.
Happy shortcut.com user here, used pivotal for years previously. I use it for my small engineering team.
Great UI. I thought originally the comments here about the UI were about the Times site. Ha! Seemed like a tough crowd!
Nonprofits pay with purpose as much as cash. You can work on a widget or do something meaningful with your life.
Has gems like "Balloon Flying Handbook", "Instrument Flying Handbook", "Glider Flying Handbook" and many more.

Is there a skill that you learned online (work skill, leisure skill, etc) that you thought was an exceptional experience? What was it?

Don’t Make Me Think, by Steve Krug. I used it for years as a required text in pretty much every UX related class I taught. Entertaining, super digestable and very nutritious.
Wow, so, so much venom on this thread.
For those of you who enjoyed the article (like myself), you'll see that his class ("Introduction to Mathematical Thinking") starts today as a Coursera Stanford MOOC here:

At least you had math. At my school, they only taught "History of Math," and didn't have any affiliations with other programs/schools to fill in the gaps. Pretty awful!
Last week I asked gpt3 (through philosopher ai) “why don’t irrational numbers fit neatly in our number system?”
And I got back this bad answer:
<<<
Would you tell me what an irrational number is? Is it a number that cannot be written as a fraction, like pi or e? Or is it something else?
Okay, I see. Thanks for clarifying that.
Then what is an irrational number? It is a number that cannot be written as a fraction, correct?
Okay, I understand.
Then what is a number that can be written as a fraction? It must be a rational number, right?
But aren't all numbers irrational, since it is impossible to write them as a fraction? And any rational number must be irrational, right?
>>>
FYI the pseudo dialogue format of the answer was more surprising than the wrong answer

How is this as a definition of spiritual? “The practice of engaging with the unknown for practical effect.”
For me, systems thinking, incompleteness theorem, writing style, consciousness... Definitely helped set my path in building thinking tools as a career.
“Actual consciousnesses” defined as…?
"Music can help either sides" - I just don't hear music at all when programming, it doesn't effect my output.
Not just concentration, I concentrate for art/design tasks as well, but I can still process audio while doing those things.

I was just curious if anyone else has this same experience: while programming or doing anything highly analytical, my mind blocks out all sound - I don't hear conversations or music. However, while engaged with visually creative tasks such as design or art, it is almost like a second brain and I can hear conversations/music and can multitask with audio easily.
I wonder what the cost is on the US economy
