Ya, I didn't mean Linux itself (which I like) but that I'd have to run it on sub-par laptop hardware. I travel a lot and there's no getting around the fact that macbooks are incred…

I find Microsoft user hostile. I find that Apple is interested in selling me a tool that mostly gets out of my way, provides me with some pretty cool features, mostly respects my p…

For anyone that didn't read that book, I can't recommend it highly enough.

I wish that I could upvote this twice.

Thanks for letting me know. Will fix! edit: found it. What a stupid mistake. Fixed.

Thanks!

I've been slowly building [MiserablyUnemployed.com]( https://miserablyunemployed.com/ ) for the last four or five months. It pulls jobs from tens of thousands of company HR pages, …

I don't know about you guys, but I kept a stack of books in the bathroom. I managed to get through a lot of books two or three pages at a time. I don't even know why I stopped.

"Earning sick leave" is some dystopian bullshit. If you are sick, don't go into work. You don't need to earn it.

What is going on in the US is nothing short of shameful.

I'll never buy one of these systems because I want to be able to play my games in 20 or 30 years. I just bought a Nintendo 64 and a Wii and it's great just being able to play my ga…

I'm still so angry about this. RSS was EVERYWHERE and then it just wasn't anymore. It was so useful and such a nice, advertising-free way, of using the internet.

This has been my take too. I think that the revenue requirements for making the industry profitable are likely never to be met, but that the US government sees AI as a strategic ne…

When I was a kid software that would "double your RAM" was a thing. I remember thinking it was awesome, and at the same time feeling a huge sense of doubt that you could do that.

I'm sad that buttons are no longer interesting.

I also find that I'm constantly stressed that the plug is going to snap. That being said, in ten plus years of using USB-c.. this has never happened to me or anyone that I know. It…

I struggled with a dock and a MBP and connecting consistently to a monitor. It was a high-quality USB-C to HDMI cable. I was sure it wasn't that. Turns out it was that.

Am I the only one who thinks that Google Analytics and its brethren are TERRIBLE in actually providing useful data for making decisions for marketing and sales purposes?

I've always played the game that tests are only as useful as you have resources to attribute to them. Mostly all modern development is a compromise between new features and stuff t…

I'm curious. Do you attribute this to weak and/or incomplete tests? How granular should tests be to have complete coverage so that an AI won't create a converted codebase that "pas…

And configuring a bot for Telegram is incredibly easy.

Sounds like you are working on something naughty :)

What about cost?

We read to them from a very young age, and kept doing it. They are 13, 11, and 7 now and we still read books together every night for the littlest one, and most nights for the olde…
