This is great. BASIC was my first programming language on a TI-92 calculator. It provides an invitation to new would-be programmers to explore writing code. Having it available on Android just opens the door for more people to try.

Relevant to this topic, Youtube channel "The School of Life" talks about this issue where people are reluctant to build, causing the housing price to go up. One Reason Homes Cost So Much: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcbjWGj3jBk

As a follow up, the same channel offers some more ideas and broader view solutions. How to Make an Attractive City: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hy4QjmKzF1c

Speaking with Lyft/Uber drivers myself, I hear there is a difference in culture between riders who choose between the two companies. Uber riders treat their drivers like taxis or "robots," while Lyft riders often converse with a fellow human being, who happens to be driving them around. It just sounds like this guy needs to switch companies.

Pass (http://www.passwordstore.org/) is password manager based on GPG that's been around for longer. It has some more tools available that are built around it and helps organize passwords as well.

In a context where there is an assumption that conversation is a debate, "No, totally" means "no I am not disagreeing with you, you are totally right."

Also disappointed about their promised privacy features that never made it: https://plus.google.com/+MaxHuijgen/posts/haKeEyEHR55

Living in SF now and have been living in California my whole life, I find the dreaded "so, what do you do?" question something that gets asked during a first time encounter when they've run out of interesting things to talk about. No one likes it, but the best way to answer is to talk about how much you enjoy what you do, not so much the details, otherwise the conversation dies very quickly, no matter your place in the "hierarchy."

Android had a hidden feature in certain iterations of Android 4, called "App Ops," that would let you do this but it never made it to prime time. Though Cyanogenmod does leverage it for their "Privacy Guard" feature.

Misleading title. Doing better in school isn't the same as being smarter.

Well you're right. I've been using Inbox for over a week, and I like it. No email clutter, and it matches my flow pretty well.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to disable transparent hugepages without a reboot:

  ># uname -a
  Linux ip-10-214-7-159 3.2.0-36-virtual #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 8 22:04:49 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  ># grep TRANSPARENT /boot/config-3.2.0-36-virtual
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
  # CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS is not set
  CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE=y

  ># echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
  bash: /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled: No such file or directory

I too practice "inbox 0," and making sure I am very diligent about unsubscribing from mailing lists and creating the occasional filter. I am completely content with email, and I feel like this is more for people who never hit the "archive" button. This is why I use stock gmail over Dropbox's Mailbox. And I am afraid that if I start using Google's Inbox, my inbox will just get cluttered and I won't be able to go back.

Don't placebos sometimes result in real physical benefits?

Any idea how placebos work so well, what they are, and if we're doing anything to take advantage of the effect?

This is terrible news, NY Times being one of few news organizations providing quality journalism. Hope they can figure out a way to keep running without degrading their quality.

This still keeps the system version around at /bin/bash

The front page of reddit isn't really where the community shines. It represents the greatest common denominator of internet culture, which is pretty much what you described, fueled by kids. A while ago, reddit split off into sub-reddits, each with their own culture and moderators who do their best to keep up quality of posts. For example: reddit.com/r/TrueReddit

1. I'd rather drink coffee than take a capsule with caffein 2. How does this compare with Alpha Brain (https://www.onnit.com/alphabrain/)?

I am not the asshole, buddy. The point is that people don't see cyclists. In my case, people would walk in front of me without looking, barely giving me time to swerve or break. Yes, cyclists should be careful not to hit people and should not blow through stops where there are people crossing. But cyclists don't exactly have it easy amongst aggressive cars and oblivious pedestrians.

I don't know if you've ever ridden a bike, but they don't exactly stop on a dime. The point is these people don't notice you and will walk right in front of you within a few feet when the light is green for you.

On the flip side, I've nearly hit two pedestrians on Market Street who were not paying attention, and jay-walking right in front of me while it was my right of way (traffic light was green). As a cyclist, you have to be aggressive, or people (including those driving cars) don't notice you.

I noticed the mouse position shown on my Android phone didn't match with the actual mouse postion on my Mac

Any alternatives out there?

That makes more sense. I was wondering why the fee for $1 worth of BTC was listed so high.

Not too bad. It will encourage people to maintain control of their bitcoin
