I'm subscribed to your channels and it's pretty much the only thing I watch on YT (besides some other channels you recommended like Jeremy Fielding). Is there any tool / machinery …

Hi Peter, thanks for your time. I have applied for a GC through marriage. I am currently on a H1B via my employer. I have already received my EAD but waiting on the GC interview wh…

Google hired away Oracle's President, not VP.

I had this happen to my Dell XPS 15 about 2 years back. It was a year old at the time so still under warranty. Dell said it was a hardware failure and I had to return it. IT issued…

I have a lot of respect for the table saw when I do my hobby woodworking. Stupid me didn't think a jointer was that dangerous; I tried to joint a small (2"x3"x2") piece of mesquite…

What would I need to do to permit someone read-only, clear-text, non-public access to an encrypted repo? Can a combination of existing GIT / GitHub privileges and the Keybase solut…

Can you please point out where in the referenced article there is a mention of QCOM changing the terms of the deal? I seem to have missed it. Thanks.
