Agreed on the tabs. Not sure what I'm supposed to do when I have more than 1-2 channels I want to view.

When I went to Defcon a few years back, one of the speakers started his talk by saying: "When I first started coming to Defcon, it was full of hackers and we played spot-the-fed. N…

What's your goal with the project? I built a web app that looked very similar a few years back: friends & family collaboration on a trip plan, itinerary with map view, packing list…

Likely a bit lower if you're looking like-for-like, but there are trade-offs that make it worthwhile. Major consulting companies hire everywhere and have offices everywhere. Except…

+2, and National which is owned by Enterprise and allows you to just walk into the garage, get in a car, and drive out. It's the most painless process in the industry.

Ok great. Now I spend all day wishing I was playing chess instead of working.

Your experience at Amazon probably isn't due to the incompetence of others, but due to a difference in alignment. In the business world, the time of highly motivated, talented engi…

Amazon will enforce them at the exec level, but courts have ruled they aren't a total blanket ban on employment elsewhere, just a restriction on what you can do for that new employ…

I've noticed that the #1 positive thing I learned from chess is rarely mentioned by others, and I'm not sure why that is. For me it was: Pattern recognition. I many cases (at least…

You know you can make your window narrower than 4000px, right?

I think people have forgotten how easy it is to set up a traditional server-rendered site with Spring Boot or Django or whatever framework. These days I see people adding a SPA as …

Golf is a real-world activity that can be used for comparison here. It's a good candidate because there is a standard handicap rating system issued by a central governing body, and…

In this case, the ad network would presumably not know or else they wouldn't keep showing you ads. But it's worth noting that ad networks are more interconnected than most people r…

Note that 20 other states already have permitless legal carry. Vermont is one of the longest-running states to allow it. Texas is actually not one of the more permissive states whe…

I remember seeing your comment on that previous post. I enjoy seeing those sorts of "behind the curtain" details that break down stack & cost of applicaitons. I'm curious if you've…

That's basically an anarchist point of view. If you can't outlaw anything no matter the harm it causes, then what's left for the role of government? "At least it's an ethos" and al…

This is changing in the next release of Safari. They will support the standard WebExtensions API so Firefox/Chrome extensions will be easily portable. https://techcrunch.com/2020/0…

NASWA is good at facilitating knowledge-sharing, but they are no better equipped to build a software product than any state IT department. Each state is still ultimately handling "…

Biggest question in my mind is why state bureaucrats are given the latitude to think it's a good idea to build their own one-off solutions. There are 50+ markets for these sorts of…

I don't think it's typically that partisan. I have an insider's perspective on one of the systems mentioned in the article, and from what I could see, politics played no part until…
