Hey, what a coincidence. I've recently did some updates on my own shitty static site generator: https://santiagodevelopment.com In my case, I stuck with markdown and still used fro…

For this I usually think that complexity in general is dangerous when our ability to apply our own value systems degrades past a certain point. For the 2008 financial issues we had…

Look into technical writing resources. One of the best resources I've seen is from proposal writing classes which you should find common with large consultancy organizations. Also,…

This one is a bit of a head scratcher and now I'm really curious. Isn't AI with deep learning a big part of this? And then, with AI like neural nets, isn't the whole point that you…

Just like the other comments here I'd suggest focusing on mindset and health. For mindset, I'd recommend looking at stoicism such as with "A guide to the good life." In particular,…

You just rekindled my long time desire to own one of these. I saw them all over the place in okinawa and I have a die-cast toy car of one somewhere around here. I remember there wa…

I'm assuming they don't. I guess to clarify, I'm desiring that the government not only mandates that they do use documentation and source control, but that they commit such code to…

At the very least publically funded code should be open between government departments. There seems to be a lot of internally developed work that is unnecessarily replicated or los…

Interesting. Reminds me of the life story of a safety inspector that was born and lived in Okinawa. He basically went through a period where rice was mostly for the rich and then t…

Does waiting another 5 minutes really matter that much? It could be worse, I suppose, maybe there could be no elevator and you'd need to climb the stairs. Maybe there could be a li…

This is related to programming puzzles. I'm a fairly experienced developer and I tend to take to things like CodinGame or HackerRank if I want to familiarize myself with a new lang…

I'd recommend almost anything by Andy Field. He has a clear cut approach with a bit of comic wit to make the reading more enjoyable for hobby reading. His book on SPSS was fantasti…

My thought here is that there is a significant lack of outrage in weak wage growth and income disparities because the data is not relatable enough. There's certainly some protest a…

For powershell I've setup a master profile that manages and loads modules stored on an admin file share. Scripts are then added to individual modules (e.g. ad, exchange, etc...) on…

"Instead, our build system is configured to automatically build, test and push .NET images whenever the official images that we use are updated" I wonder what that build system loo…

Looks like Jeff Bezos was on to something about that "Two Pizza Rule"[0] [0] http://www.businessinsider.com/jeff-bezos-two-pizza-rule-for...

To play devils advocate: federal authorization workflows for such things can be notoriously slow and counter intuitive. I'd argue that 18F's completed projects, and any other contr…

Doom 3 was touted[1] as having some "exceptional beauty." Naming, spacing of properties, consistency, and how multiple parameterized calls were formatted are quite nice. You can se…

The title is pretty sly in mixing both past and present tense interpretations. Hard to guess whether it was going to be Hoover's infatuation with the civil rights movement or some …

This looks to be the main content of the book: http://programmer.97things.oreilly.com/wiki/index.php/Contri...

I wonder how increases in remote work acceptance will affect emigration. If you allow remote work from anywhere it would seem like moving to another country on some sort of visa wo…

This was the main reason I picked up the yubikey, but I simply could not get GPG to recognize the yubikey to import my keys. I'm sure I simply missed some important step, but I cou…

According to wikipedia[1] this was one of the earliest websites to be created. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_websites_founded_befor...
