I know some people are afraid of change and competition, but I'm thrilled everytime someone shares their new language or library. I don't have to learn or use them all, but it's gr…

Wait, censorship or reduction in choices? They are different concepts with some overlap. China has the most draconian censorship in the world: lethal censorship. Nothing like the "…

I do too, but from the weight of the idea - not the complexity of the delivery

Maybe I've read to much history, or maybe I just need to pay more attention to Musk, but I'm pretty sure he isn't anywhere close to the category of "Terrible Human Being" I have in…

Not OP, and just opinion, but I've seen markedly different career and personality/friend/family success. They seem like talented happy people able to take on a wide variety of chal…

Assuming you don't need bare-level performance and Go is okay, I love how easy and approachable parallel code is with Go. Locks and channels each offer trade offs you can easily be…

> The chair collapses; he is injured. He files for worker's compensation. His company paid no premiums in Illinois, no coverage. Will California cover an out of state injury? This …

And keeping 100% of all features instead of removing the least-used features as you add new ones to keep tech debt from growing indefinitely and reaching a point where new features…

That's the best-case scenario, the worse-case is that in trying to fix a problem we caused, we fail and end up with more problems. I mean, this isn't news to those of us that write…

Yes, but I think people sometimes confuse the criteria for 'good reasoning' in the moment. It's easier to paint a prophet as a crackpot if everyone else is putting time and energy …

The sad thing is that most often, the actual villains trick everyone into thinking it's a different party. When bad people rise to power, they often do so vilifying one or more oth…

Unfortunately, whatever body you create to watch the body you create that watches the body you create will have people in it that will be the target of lobbing. You need to some ho…

Took about 10 minutes to install and most of that was just waiting for the os to transfer to the phone. Really easy install guide. Works great. I wouldn't ask grandma to do it, but…

I'm not a person with lots of free time that wants to update to the latest and greatest every year. I now appreciate apple phones knowing I can upgrade when I want and not in 1 yea…
