I disagree with my sibling comment. The trick is beautiful. If you generate UUIDs such that each bit in the result can be reliably traced back to a single bit in the input, then yo…

If a planes jet engine gets close enough to the roof of the airport to burn this treated lumber, there’s bigger problems afoot.

I know two (educated and hard-working) people in my immediate circle who intentionally keep their income below $30k/year so they qualify for state healthcare programs that they cou…

Healthcare is just a word until you get into your sixties, then it is a lifestyle
