Lack of 1password support on linux is the main thing keeping me on macos. Sounds like I might be switching back soon.

Thanks for putting so much effort into Redis! The software itself is awesome (I've been using it one way or another over the span of nearly a decade now), and in my opinion anyway …

The company feels it can decide your quality of life for you, instead of your compensation. It's kind of unethical (imo) but not uncommon. I'm fortunate that my current remote empl…

I am incredibly thankful for my wife, my job, my family, my privileged upbringing, my pets, the tech industry in general (even though I am contemptuous towards it at times) and mos…

I cannot imagine the feeling of pride you must have if you worked on the Voyager program in any capacity. The first interstellar spacecraft, over 40 years old, and someone's still …

Those famously stable cryptos sound perfect yeah.

I think you're missing what the parent is saying: since the majority are poor, they plainly don't rule (since then they wouldn't remain poor). If democracy is defined as "majority …

I thought I would hate this article, having years of delivering software with and without estimates, and preferring the latter. But it makes a compelling case!

Then the old company would still have fired them.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, despite being a bit cynical this may well have been the pitch to the folks in Utah County.

The case is not so extreme in SLC. I've lived here about 4.5 years and while much of the state is overwhelmingly Mormon (I do not practice or sympathize with any religion), SLC is …

It's also only one single bus route.

For what it's worth, living in Salt Lake City: this is one single bus route among dozens. It's nice that there won't be a cost for this route, but this could be expanded to all of …
