I've been building a game in Compose Multiplatform and have been learning how to integrate new UI features across WASM, Android, iOS, MacOS, Windows. It's great new tech with a lot…

Code quality has been plunging for years while we've become more dependent upon code. Devin AI working Upwork jobs blew minds, but it succeeded for a reason. Upwork and similar sit…

SEEKING WORK – Minneapolis – Remote Remote: Yes, please. I've been remote since around 2017. Android/Kotlin and Kotlin Multiplatform expert engineer with over twenty years of softw…

I've been an organizer both pre- and post-pandemic. I can say that my pre-pandemic programming Meetup group has been tricky to re-launch. We did decently in virtual Restream sessio…

They're truly different beasts, but each has clear value. As but one example, I've seen outsourced apps for financial firms where there were literally hundreds of basic security fl…

Honestly, the most interesting chapter in Butler's career has to be when he stopped a Fascist American coup attempt against FDR by many of the war profiteers he spoke about. https:…

There is some great theory around moderation which goes far beyond this piece. David Lakoff's book "Don't Think of an Elephant" is a classic. Moderation is rarely a choice. There's…

Committing crimes, even just omitting required notices, falls outside of management discretion. At-will doesn't apply.

Perhaps one of the most noticeably hackable tests I've participated in is democratic elections. I ran for office a few times and learned a lot about how the system actually works. …

It's worth noting that Germany has less solar energy potential anywhere in their country than in any single state in the USA, including Alaska. Yet they had more solar deployed in …

> Are more granular (or at least visible and understandable) privacy settings coming in future releases, or is this just the UX direction? Why is Mozilla making it so much harder t…
