Is the boss a programmer? If yes, then yeah you should say something. If not, then this is all just normal - this is what bosses do - get credit for their division and get more fun…

The thing that killed craigslist was a bunch of startups that took it's ideas and charged 5% for the transaction and lip service about how it is safer than "other platforms" (other…

hurry up and... wait

That's the link I used to learn it, it's available online from that link for free. If you look at the CRC - it's an easy read, designed that way on purpose. Chapters are streamline…

you can't get past permits and inspections without building to code. the main builder does not need to be a GC or have any kind of contractor license what-so-ever. There are still …

Definitely will be worked out, and I wouldn't be surprised if a startup shows up to get people motivated (with advice, resources and planning assistance) and help them find investm…

Apparently people are stealing catalytic converters like there's no tomorrow. Some people have been literally killed trying to stop people stealing it from their car. Mobs are lite…

Glad you added more to that comment. I have a personal belief that "owner builder" is going to be something you're going to hear about more and more. People that are less fortunate…

While we're here. Does anyone else notice that on a mac it doesn't support the completely basic concept of a red notification dot in the application bar? People literally wait hour…

What counts as a garbage language? Java guys will tell you it's rust or go, go guys will tell you it's java or rust, rust guys will tell you it's java and go.

the issue is that this can pop up in any library, not just logging. It's about keeping your deps up to date (or not) by a "3d party" (assuming he mean 3rd party)

It's a really really weird space that didn't really exist in 1984. I would say that today's "engineers" below the 80% salary threshold for this space are today's "construction work…

At 35 I decided to fuck the "normal life" and just go RVing with my wife. We saw the country (US). Fast forward 7 years and we are now building our own house paycheck to paycheck. …

Set up a website that lets you buy these people a round-trip plane ticket to CA. That gets around both issues. If the doctor says there's no baby, then no money.

City officials have been getting trained hard in not lying to the public so much that they probably felt obligated to answer these questions.

I think most of the comment was just fine. The second phrase of the first sentence (not planning on ever owning) probably pissed people off and didn't add to the discussion. It's o…

small critical comment, if btc is not preferred, remove the option, or don't say that. That may be meaningful to you, but not to anyone else.

Big meh. That quake code was MIT.

For anyone that uses XML stuff in Java, you are probably aware of String.intern memory and performance issues. I don't know if that stuff persists today, but a ton of XML parsing g…

I need to check this out. I am guessing I can do all the things I used to be able to in Google, like disable all results from say, pinterest and a few other sites I dislike.

It's the same with everything else in this world. People tell others to go to the doctor, dentist, get an electrician, a contractor. It's all bullshit. Go on youtube, investigate a…

How is Portland even growing. Last time I was there the roads were simply not enough. I can't imagine 11% growth over there.
