I’ve always wanted to teach a course about IT topics that comp sci students tend to miss out on in university-level programs. Think “applied computing” stuff, like Linux administra…

I check both sites for different reasons. I come here to read interesting content about a variety of topics - even things that I spend very little time thinking about. I trust the …

I see Ruby used pretty frequently in small parts of larger systems. I looked at a customer’s project last week and they were using Ruby to parse incoming e-mail.

Ah, I had one of those! i7, 16gb RAM. I loved that computer, but I've spent the majority of the past year and a half at home and I found myself reaching for it less and less. A des…

I agree with your core point, but the comparison to JAMStack is misguided. Push to GitHub, sign in to Netlify (or one of countless similar services), pick the repo to deploy, and y…

I don’t think that anecdote serves as a good counterpoint. I think that developer was implying that such a button might lead to accidental purchases, not that the concept of clicki…

On a fundamental level, living any kind of life, “simple” or not, is a fruitless attempt to discover the ideal way a life should be spent. There is no single, truthful answer to th…

Yeah, LA is probably the worst (large) city in the US when it comes to public transport.

Cool concept, well done. Visually appealing for sure. A few things: First, I don’t think that your users’ first exposure to your product should be a comparison to other products. A…
