I've always been a huge Gorillaz fan. Such a good name because a group of gorillas is called a band. They have made some really unique music that is almost a new genre.

I'm very interested in this tooling for one project in particular. However, I don't think you can assign global hotkeys or minimize things to the system tray. At least I haven't fo…

We truly live in a boring dystopia. It is insane to think how much money and how many absolutely seething customers this will make and it happens again and again.

I have found soft deletes to be really helpful to preserve historical references and as a simple but reversible enable disable switch. Sometimes a really destructive delete isn't s…

Imagine how many times this happened way back when. You had no real way to prove it easily. I'd say that was the culprit of many people blaming gremlins gnomes and the like.

Meant to say The Martian - Solid new hard sci-fi, very different from the movie.

The Moon is a Harsh Mistress is a solid one. Heinlein is a classic.

Marrow - A group of people find a Jupiter sized ship of unknown origin and start a galactic cruise with many different species in the far high tech future. The Stars My Destination…

If you have enough of a bond, I'd have a chat with him. I'd explain that as a smart person and valued member of the team his verbal output would really help. I'd say his perspectiv…

These kinds of features being so limited annoys me. Like GoPro can only auto clear a video from your sd card that has been uploaded on the newest model. There is no way that is lim…

I've used Replit for love coding interviews when we are talking with candidates. From what I have seen I don't think I would choose to switch to it for a large project. However, it…

I'll be honest, while it probably didn't run the whole production system it probably did something important enough to at least get wired internet.

Search for videos tagged by listenable. They have a pretty good handle on what you can skip the video for. One great option is standup comedy, it really breaks up just standard mus…

There is something special about it. I remember seeing it for the first time and it seemed like a movie set because I had watched so many scenes in so many films that were shot the…

I really liked quite a bit of it. There are some points I wasn't too sure of however, it gives a great counterpoint to the endless conveniences that modern society provides. I woul…

Anytime I hear about outdoor advertising I think of a quote I saw in the book Civilized to Death. A long time ago man saw Times Square and sat in silence. A few people asked him wh…

I'd say a hobby always does well to build up a group. I've had a great time meeting people riding dirt bikes and cycling. Gives you a good chance to do group rides and you'll be su…

I would still recommend it. Well actually I would recommend Code Complete II as it is the be updated version. I met Steve McConnell in person and have read most of his books. I've …

I wonder if they used ChatGPT to find and/or fix the bug.

Yeah it is funny what you will discover when you are forced to use something you can change. You also sadly realize how much software gets shipped that if the person who wrote it u…

One recommendation I don't hear often is build something that will stick with you. Keeping with the apprenticeship/tooling idea, I would build something that you will use over time…

Can you imagine the founder of White Castle being shown this in some quick burst of future vision? He would have to have his mind blown beyond belief. He was born in 1880. https://…

Whenever I am on a project, I try to write any tooling (code generators, utils, scripts, etc) in the tech that it uses. This forces you to broaden your horizons in the tooling. I e…

Generally when this happens it is because of context. You are clearly setting out to have fun and searching for the joy you did find originally. Most of the time this context is ei…
