This won’t get done in the next 25 years, if ever.

I think that’s definitely a thoughtful approach but there is no carrot big enough. 50% increase or double my pay, maybe. That’s how big of deal WFH is to most. My work is trying to…

The web would pretty bland and less usable without CSS. White background and full page width Times New Roman paragraphs, inline images.

I use Kailh Box Navy switches. Sounds like Cherry blues but deeper and louder. Like a v6 vs a v8. Ha. I work from home though. Although I will say I don’t think the crappy membrane…

After I started working from home I started showering less than every day and I noticed that I don’t feel as good if I don’t shower. I feel like I’m not fully awake. It’s not about…

David Walsh! Blast from the past. I used to read his stuff when I was starting out almost 20 years ago.

I don’t think I’ve been in the super high end Tesla but every other one I’ve ridden in felt like an economy car. The seats are terrible and the suspension on those things is an abo…

I don’t know why relative humidity is used for laymen. I remember when I learned the Dew Point is what you can use to gauge what it feels like. I grew up in the South and later in …

That’s fair, you clearly know more about beer than me. I mostly just drink them. I don’t care for most lagers but a good one on a summer day is nice. I was just trying to make the …

Most craft breweries make lagers and pilsners that are considerably better than “big beer.” Local/craft beer doesn’t exclusively produce IPAs, Fruited Sours, and Bourbon Barrel Age…

He’s writing an article. “ Dear TK Readers: Very shortly, I’m going to begin posting a long thread of information on Twitter, at my account, @mtaibbi. This material is likely to ge…

My take on this is, if you are writing enough JS in your app that the “terseness” of jQuery seems appealing you maybe shouldn’t be writing jQuery or vanilla (unless you’ve built a …

I think React is great. In Some instances of useEffect can seem inscrutable. I believe svelte is a great counter to a lot of the ceremony in React and I see it as the most compelli…

I don’t believe any game/app that was/is available on one or two of many hand held computing devices is worth much “labor” from the maintainers of said game’s/app’s operating envir…

Thanks fallacy bot. I was not trying to discredit Neil Young’s “argument.” I was simply stating my opinion that he sucks and it’s funny that he was once a part of a counter culture…

How long has Neil Young been out of touch? This is the most anti-rock, anti-punk, anti-free-thinker move an old rich dude can make. No matter where one stands on the content of Joe…

Ditto, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch is my favorite book.

This is the correct response. Yeah, sure, tactics could change to “analysis before action” but then you lose responsiveness when you need it most. Maybe there’s a balance, but I do…

Happy to see a multitude of poignant responses to comments here. It should be clear that “gun control” is very similar to the “war on drugs”. I guess a better corollary is the proh…

You’d have to drive a lot longer than an hour.

This is a really nice piece of work! I’ve been experimenting with building something similar for my employer... I like that theming isn’t really a concern here. It makes sense beca…

Too many people sleep on or disparage Texas, it’s such a diverse/weird/surprising/sometimesDisapointing place. It’s definitely not some place that can be categorized or disparaged …
