SEEKING WORK Location: NYC | Remote I've been a software generalist at a variety of startups, some in their earliest stages helping to craft their ideas into MVPs (PeerMedical, Cli…

Humans have an incredible way of elevating their universal importance to hold the conviction that an alien species capable of receiving such a message and actionably responding wou…

Actually yeah, parasitic selfishness should definitely be discouraged in a healthy society

Factoring in that the prison population is a "good chunk" of the total population should elevate the scale of this discussion above statistical haggling

This is a world where giving money to a company is an inherently political act, even if you do not know it to be. Each dollar spent at Amazon is a tacit endorsement of its business…

Every time I see this blog I'm extremely interested in the content, but the stylized presentation is so jarring and tough to read. I doubt this is an original qualm and I'm fully a…

The US government routinely monitors purchase and search histories to prevent the active ingredients of something destructive like that from falling into nefarious hands, and you'r…

Life certainly has a good chance given the existence of deep-sea bacteria, tardigrades, and cockroaches, but the human species has a relatively narrow set of conditions that must b…

When they opened a brick and morter store in Boston, I remember walking in with a real sense of excitement but walking out without any interest in becoming more involved in the 3D …

Painkiller is based along similar lines but retains Doom's darker demonic palette whereas Serious Sam is very light-hearted and colorful. A number of people have mentioned that it …

I think any version control software needs to address the simple fact that humans will rush through writing and committing code in a way that they may later regret. Dealing with an…

Are there any applications or libraries that you would say follow these practices really well? Seeing basic examples was really helpful, but a more expansive project that employs t…
