I have an anecdote. I speak Russian proficiently (I can speak it since I've been 6, even though my native language is Romanian), and I always found understanding Ukrainian hard (not to say speaking it). I can infer a lot of words and expressions, but I would say they're fairly different.

But I don't think that was the point of that article. It says:

>> Now that Twitter allows 280 characters, the code of some drawings I have made can fit in a tweet. In this post I have compiled a few of them.

It's about a list of code snippets that you can send around on Twitter, that can generate interesting "art". It doesn't claim to be the shortest code that can be used to generate art. It just says it can fit inside a tweet.

3 characters is still less than 280, right? It doesn't look like you're contradicting their claim in any way.

Could you elaborate a little bit more. I'm not sure I understand your point.

The piece about paper checks is not entirely true. I still use paper checks to pay for the daycare and a couple other services. I find it annoying, but a lot of businesses still rely on paper checks.

This is a good article on the matter with more in depth information: http://www.solar-facts-and-advice.com/vitamin-D-from-the-sun...

As one of the sibling commenter said, it very much depends on your skin shade and the location on Earth.

Rover.com made it to the list this year! I think that's a great milestone that we reached as a company.

If you like pets and want to be part of the future of pet care services, give us a try. We're hiring!

I work from home a couple days a week, to avoid the fairly long commute to the office.

I definitely think seeing my family around during the day is a big plus. I mostly start really early (around the same time I would normally go to take my bus), so I have a nice 10-15 minutes break with my kids, before they go to the daycare. My wife also just started a bakery and works from home mostly, so I have the opportunity to take small breaks during the day and spend some time with her.

Last but not least, I am more productive and on average create more value when I work from home, just because I start my day doing what I like the most and commuting.

Obviously, this is just an anecdote and everyone's case is different, but I think if you work from home and you're not alone, it shouldn't be as depressing and/or demotivating.

Reading through what you said, it reminded me about how the Learning how to Learn Course [1] tackles procrastination. Basically the way I understood it (hopefully I did it right), if you focus on the product (ie. the final goal), our brain activates the pain sensors which make us look for other activities that will be more fun to do. The suggestion is to focus on the process (or system) that will eventually get you to the goal, using small periods of focused attention that can be individually rewarded (like spending some time doing relaxing and/or fun activities after focusing on the task).

I can't open the site on my Android phone due to an SSL error. Is it just me, or there is a problem with the certificate?

Ah, it makes sense now. Thanks for clarifying!

Please excuse my ignorance. I searched on the webs but couldn't find what VCP means in this context. Can someone please decode that for me (and maybe other readers like me)?

We don't have to get a puppy. I work here and I wasn't forced to get a puppy. I plan to get one this year though, so this is really welcomed!
