Any comments from folks who actually kinda like Drupal? I can cop to it almost driving me to tears until I got over the quite considerable learning curve, and once past that I coul…

Drupal basically is a headless CMS plus a CMS front end if you expose the web service module.

My work experiences during these years were about following strict orders and getting reamed at / yelled it for deviating, trying to improve things, etc.

I worked for several people like this in high school. In fact all of the people I worked for in high school were like this. One example being having to clean hot outdoor bathrooms …

Self taught, but at some point over the last several years the hiring criteria changed and I couldn’t get hired for a programming job without software engineering concepts such as …

I liked iTunes back in the Steve Jobs days when, if album art wasn’t available, in its place it would display the album info on the diagonal against a white background, as if it we…

Anecdotal of course but I left and don’t plan to return. I also don’t know anyone who still lives there that doesn’t want to leave. That was mostly true pre-pandemic however.

I have this problem myself. I've gotten around it in the past by taking roles where the visibility is already baked into it, but I've never really solved the root problem. Now I'm …

A 1960 Fisher X-1000 stereo amplifier that pumps out about 50 wpc, high for a tube amplifier. I found it on the street about 10 years ago, restored it, made a new brass faceplate, …

I too have noticed the cadence, and it occurred to me that non-native English speakers probably benefit from his deliberate cadences. I find it to be a well designed podcast.

I had a rejection from Facebook a few months ago and I got no feedback like that. The feedback I got was that I did extremely well throughout the interview process and demonstrated…

Several months ago my AirBnB (2FA enabled) account was compromised. The scammer booked me for a property - the listing populated with blatant stock photos, no ratings - that was st…

I've been using Lipton for this purpose and don't like all the packaging either. What do you use to contain the dust while you brew overnight? I make mine in a pitcher that lasts a…

Not in my part of Brooklyn. Don’t even think about getting a package shipped to your home address in my zip code.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I do it as much for the love of bringing things to life as the money.

I created ShutterDeck[1], a system for controlling multi-camera arrays. I designed and built the hardware and the iPhone app, which serves as a remote control for the device. I do …

I just had a Google technical phone interview. I won't divulge the question but it was related to a design pattern that JavaScript developers use every day in frameworks like Vue/R…

I second many of the tips here but also if you just want to make things happen while you’re learning, look at modules on Adafruit and Sparkfun. Like software libraries, they abstra…

I’m going off memory too, but I think that besides the name and profile photo of your friends (and email address?) this API didn’t return much else. And I also think I remember tha…

Perhaps "plant-based" is the term they were looking for.

I worked there for a time and can tell you that many of the creatives I worked with assumed that if Watson won Jeopardy, then it could do literally anything (indeed talking to you …

I don't recall the New York Times reporting a 90% chance of victory on election day. I recall her chances according to the Times decreasing several percentage points (down to the h…

I had him for a few classes at ITP. He was probably the best teacher I've ever had.

There's this 4.3" display: http://www.waveshare.com/4.3inch-e-paper.htm I have one, seems well built, it's just been sitting in a box until I come up with a good use for it.

Golf umbrellas suck. Smaller umbrellas are no more a nuisance than than circumventing slow walking tourists on the street.
