I'm starting a new project in a couple weeks, and my macbook pro is almost 4 years old. I'd really like to buy a new one and get it set up before I bury myself in coding. The probl…

Absolutely, especially because you said you have the time. My best hires over the years have gone above what was requested of them during the interview process. If you focus on bei…

I started reading this expecting not to like it, because a lot of blog posts with gratuitous F bombs in the title are by morons. Totally not the case here. Plenty of honesty and in…

Yeah, I totally agree. And it's not like you could say "gal" either. That's just nerdy.

I think articles like this are great, but the sad reality is that you'll never be able to convince a vaccine denier to change their mind. They already know their beliefs contradict…

You've got to admire this. Everything in that post makes complete sense and is stuff I've read time and time again. For some reason, though, I keep falling into the trap of trying …

I cannot believe that they would make this opt-out rather than opt-in. I love most google services, but they're really starting to go too far with stuff like this.

This is just an attempt to get attention. States can't just decide to split themselves into multiple states, it requires federal legislation. The only state that can split itself u…

These "Snow Fall" type stories definitely look good, but taking over scrolling is going too far. You've got to let browsers be browsers! Playing an animation before you can see con…
