There's a book "How to Prepare for Climate Change: A Practical Guide to Surviving the Chaos" by David Pogue that I found had some decent information related to your questions.

I remember when I first started out on my college academic path I tried a semester at a community collage. I don't recall the name of the class but it was something to do with comp…

Without value judgement on the above quotes, I think Carmack is very much aware of his own lane and would say to take any comments outside it with a grain of salt. For instance ear…

Great article! Thank you for going deep on your development process.

As had been said prior, there is an examination to be made around the influence Google & Apple have in the software space. However there is also the obligatory xkcd: https://xkcd.c…

Even within the subcategory of hip hop/rap it seems there's some bias towards more current artists vs artists from the 90s & 00s. Is that just because there is a natural bias towar…

There's no such thing as cancel culture. The lack of self-examination and self-awareness is stunning in these types of responses of people who may have some problematic aspects in …

Thanks for reminding me as I had forgotten. Still it seems a bit weird not to be able to discuss. Again, thanks for the reminder (I suspect others who read this thread may also be …

Thank you for calling out the downvote issue. I've refrained from asking questions for this exact reason. People should be encouraged to ask questions, even if from a position of l…

From what I gathered FTA it sounds like the author is putting forth the notion that Facebook is relying on old, mostly debunked theories around a "backfire effect" - when fact-chec…

My very first splice job I did on a song was with Kraftwerk's Tour De France. My friend and I wanted to extend the song so we could dance to it. So using a stereo system that had a…

My orig comment in this thread misunderstood the intent of the OP. * shrugs

Why not just use AWS Lightsail to start? https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/features/ It's super easy...

Holy smokes! And I just did a WordPress demo site using AWS Lightsail for $3.50 USD per month (obv the lowest tier). Took me less than an hour to get it all rolling. Just check out…

Unfortunately I've been in organizations where this was necessary for exactly that... Exec Manager (wanting to save face in next exec meeting) - Why did the team do that? It obv di…

A very broad answer to your query... sneakerheads run the gamut in terms of what they might look for or why they might want a shoe. A sneakerhead may want to have a shoe in their c…

Sneakerhead here. This is tangental but related. The core of Under Armor's problem is design. The market is simply not excited by UA's offerings. This cascades throughout their eco…

This is great news! With the current direction of US politics, as a US citizen, I find myself increasingly entertaining the thought of becoming an ex-pat. Top countries I've though…

Good for them. I have mixed feeling about their platform. I do like the core functionality and the mobile app is decent. However their paid "support" and "training" is an absolute …
