I loved Google poly! It was a great place to find models for A-frame scenes. A-frame is VR basically built in HTML. I really liked it as a teaching tool especially for kids. Like l…

With the rise of contracting in IT, I think more and more people have crappy insurance. I didn't realize how bad it would be when I started contracting last year. The agency I was …

Wow that must have been difficult. I would personally not homeschool my own kids, but I think it's a good option in certain situations. I'd like to send my own kids to a school, bu…

I have a very weird perspective because both my parents worked from home AND homeschooled us. We did a lot of church activities and swim team. We were 0% lonely, in fact I longed t…

When I was about 6 I thought very highly of it. Now that I'm 30, even thinking about it makes me feel a little ill.

This is the first time I've read about a clotting disorder being beneficial for heterozygotes besides sickle cell. I'm curious if other types of these disorders show the same effec…

But they do! I have a sweet tooth and some of their stuff is just too sweet for me. It really depends on what part of the country they are in, but Pennsylvania Amish are known for …

I was pretty skeptical of CSS-in-JS at first but then I remembered all the times I had to reject pull requests because they didn't use whatever specification the project was using …

Yeah I always rec Adtech to people who have trouble getting jobs elsewhere. Adtech doesn't care about whiteboarding, if they don't like what you're doing they'll just fire you. I s…

Having been a member of a union, I've seen unions protect unpopular people, including sexual harassers. I have mixed feelings about this. I do think the harassers deserve to go thr…

Yep, engineering was a different college within my university and that's common in many public schools. It was not easy to switch in, they only allocated a few spots a year for it.…

Yeah, but no longer, it was very time consuming to care for them all. You have to care for them daily and a lot of them die anyway.

This is one of my fav papers: How (not) to train your spider: successful and unsuccessful methods for studying learning http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03014223.2015.112…

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they were a bit more intelligent than jumping spiders through it's hard to judge relative intelligence in animals like these. For mantis shrimp colo…

yeah there are a bunch of factors you have to think about when presenting them with video in experiments. Luckily it's been done enough that there is lots of documentation on the s…

Oh thanks! I fixed them.

I like how a lot of these are just cubicles. The rest are just private spaces but not enough for every worker, so workers will basically compete for them. I worked in several offic…

I'm surprised they didn't mention jumping spiders (Salticidae), which are notable because they are inverts, have the ability to see an unusual number of colors, and unlike the mant…

I have an old HTC Inspire (circa 2011) I still use in my kitchen to control a stereo system. I'm shocked anything on it still works. It's probably a terrible security vulnerability…

Has anyone tried Grav? Some ex-Drupal people use it.

There is also Meteor, which is almost like a RoR for Node.js. I've used it for work and I personally find it a bit bloated though. For my own projects I mainly use static sites lik…
