   Doubtful, since the last plane was delivered about 6 years ago and the program has very steep startup costs.

   A lady at DjangoCon (2011?) was giving a talk about how she brought her site/app to market and made a comment about getting feedback. She mentioned HN, which I’d never heard of.

   Beware! At a previous job, Boost Build was easily one of the most unpopular aspects of the tech stack. It had 5% of people evangelizing it, and they were also the only ones who “got” the complicated Jam file arrangement. The rest of us coul

   For iOS, the fairly new (~1 year old) Beorg is way better than other options I've tried, to the point of actually making Org viable for me, since I have such a dependence on mobile. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app&

    I'm not sure what your point of reference is for the question, but at least for personal finance tracking I think such tools work well. I have a long history with apps such as Quicken and Mint, and some years ago I migrated to plain te

    IIRC it is a fairly precise model. They know which antennas, and the directed reflection. The width ground track is not all that wide, but if you're right in the middle of it they're very bright. Years ago I drove to be in the cen

    Thanks for mentioning this! I was a GC user for quite a while on linux, but the register rendering (fonts) was so bad on macOS I abandoned it, checking back for updates every so often. Looks like this is better now.

    Further tangent: a colleague and I talked about creating a derivative of one of the programmer fonts, replacing smart/curly quotes and another such nuisances with unmistakeable indicators.

    If you happen to run your own server, give https://tt-rss.org a try. It is straightforward and has all the essentials I expect in an RSS reader. There are mobile clients too. I’ve used it for a number of years with good results

    The go get command now supports Fossil source code repositories. Fossil fell short for me in a few too many ways, but I really liked parts of it. I’m happy to see first-class support for it.

    Fizz buzz etc. might detect complete frauds, and at the other end some heavy algorithm questions might falsely reject good candidates who simply haven't applied that stuff in a long time. I think small at-home coding challenges are a

    I'm no longer active, but one of the main attractions to the hobby was how simple everything was. The idea that with some power and a basic antenna, I could talk to a radio built 50 years ago with no more alignment then choosing the s

    At Garmin in Salem, OR, they have four-person quads. These are enclosed spaces with an additional central table, storage, ceiling and door. Though not my own office, I liked it. Quiet, everyone had a corner with ample space, and a nice grou
