I've always been a fairly private person. My kids see me every other week and we communicate via Telegram with random memes or silliness. My personal projects are sort of stagnant …

Making a ton of mistakes early in your career, being lucky to work with those that took the time to have constructive discussions/arguments with you (i.e. they're passionate and ac…

I think it might be useful to cycle in new sold/unsold sets of logos to give the effect that sales are taking place and business is moving ahead. otherwise, it looks like no busine…

So correlating packet sizes between the Wifi and destination network's logs is really the problem here. That is crazy. What stops them from collaborating with any other company lik…

I agree and I use Linux everyday (and Windows). For the typical desktop user, we have to ask what the intent of usage is. Running a business with proprietary software and licensing…

Oh how I love this.

One of the interesting side effects of social media is the social "guilt" of "unfriending". I suppose this is another form of the inconvenience associated with using a technology. …

This. Adversity makes or breaks. Even if it breaks, you can still rise from the ashes. It's best to not let unhealthy thoughts drive you forward. Small pet projects are great. Who …

I am thinking that announcing this feature may be a tactic to win back consumer trust or in the least attract new customers who are not familiar with the potential buyout.

Somewhat related to this, I am amazed by the analysis done by bionerd23. Her study of cesium 137 levels in vegetation is interesting. She measured the levels in mushrooms found in …

This is absolutely fantastic. Great method for teaching new concepts to those new to the subject matter. I have an engineering background and have to say that this approach is refr…

It's great that you are staying in the groove. Resetting by taking time off is definitely easier with a supportive spouse/partner. I had to voluntarily take time off when I got sic…

Very good points.

That last point is interesting. Even with an RF detector, an accelerometer may act as a cheap room bug. Heck, if automobiles use them to detect when an airbag should be deployed, w…

At my current employer, I had no idea that current employees/senior staff would be pulling in former collegues from a direct competitor. It's hard to see what mindset they are drag…

I think even slang terms have a place here. Not sure if the goal is to really improve language skills. If not, any new widely accepted terms could be defined and optionally rated b…

I agree. In my mind, I felt a lot of self-doubt at first, but after digging in, that fear helped propelled me. I suppose if it wasn't for that fear of not being good enough and sid…

I secretly stayed active during that role. It takes dedication. Some of this comes from work ethic. I had that drilled into me with the family biz growing up. My tolerance for abus…

I took a management path at first, thinking it was a natural progression upon obtaining over a decade and a half of experience and being enouraged by my peers over the years. I was…

geez. i hadn't seen that tweet. crazy. i would love to consider gitlab as an alternative. need to plan on migrating my repos and gists over first. i can't support that type of cult…

I completely agree. There is no guarantee that they will invest wisely. Adversity is a great teacher and wisdom is the fruit of that labor if not somewhat liberating. I think throu…

We were a development team years ago (90s) working late on the production Oracle database writing some SQL (cringe). One junior dev deleted all records from one of the core tables …
