cmaxwell··on MIT discovers the location of memories: Individual neurons
hahaha

I came here to post that... too late.

cmaxwell··on Slavery's last stronghold
I thought it was going to be an article about mechanical turk.
cmaxwell··on Ask HN: How to do Project Management for personal projects?
Probably overkill but I created an MS Project mpp and broke functionality into "Releases". Each release has a bunch of functionality and for each function/page I have an activity of scaffold -> finish dev/tests -> apply design.

I estimate each function/page for each activity (scaffold, finish dev, apply design) and I set an assumption in Project that my work day is 2 hours (how much I try to dedicate each day).

Project tells me based on my estimates what day I should have a particular task done and I try to finish it by said date. Every day the last thing I do is set my actual work for each task so that I know how I am progressing and whether I am ahead or behind schedule.

Might be overkill but I like seeing a % complete (rolled up to and knowing whether I am ahead or behind by x hours).

Currently on my 352 hour release I am 56% complete (155 hours) and I am aprox. 6 hours ahead of schedule... :-)

cmaxwell··on Landing Page Design: Visualizing the High Cost of Credit Card Debt
In chrome it does some weird resizing/layout changing thing while scrolling around the coffee part.
cmaxwell··on Ask HN: Any systems out there that keep you update to on what's in your fridge?
Not aware of anything like that. My guess is that it isn't feasible or that there are significant concerns about adoption.

How would you scan? Bar code? Seems like a pain in the ass. Putting RFID on everything in your fridge doesn't seem feasible either.

Any solution like this has to be easy to use and cost effective for it to have adoption.

Seems like a fantastic platform for finding prostitutes.
