I've been working on a side project with 2 other people for a few months and i inevitably reach out to them to meet for an hour (which always turns into 2-3+ hours) to brainstorm n…

man, im feeling EXTREMELY vindicated with buying a backpack from a smaller, independent brand (Epperson Mountaineering) my backpack hasn't shown any major signs of wear or tear in …

Knowing facts matters quite a lot imo, even if it doesnt 'seem' like it. To use another metaphor, you can't REALLY see the forest amongst the trees, if you don't consider the trees…

Fond memories, playing this throughout my youth :')

> $116k — Senior software developer yearly salary. Interns makes more than that in US. Not that anybody's hiring interns anymore, but that's not the point. Some interns make more t…

Notepad++ already exists, is more reliable, and already has a md support plugin recent vuln asside (big caveat ill admit) idk why you would use notepad at all when N++ exists

I live on the north side of Chicago and, to be honest, one of my favorite modes of public transit is the express buses that go from Edgewater/Uptown to downtown. It's MUCH faster t…

This is really neat - i especially like the heatmap, makes it very easy to immediately figure out what is actively being worked on, even in the regular file explorer view that said…

I hate to be that guy, but HR is one of the things I always point to as a perfect example of "A system's purpose is what it does" - HR's task is NOT with maximizing results/IC outp…

It's really hard to understate how brazenly corrupt it all is. These guys arent even trying to hide their tracks anymore, and polymarket/kalshi are well aware of this
