In Oregon we're 100% mail-in paper ballots. I've come around to this idea too, especially after seeing some of the processing operations. Bulk counting in managed/secure facilities, along with secure storage of archival votes

This is the first time I've thought about Boost Build since leaving my last job about 18 months ago. The selection by a few of Boost Build for internal projects at the company was easily one of the most divisive, time consuming, and fr

While maybe not misery, I was certainly drawn into a stressful state of mind. I didn't get upset about about a luxury car or anything material, but demonstrations of copious free time did eat at me. My schedule was completely full with

The content is pretty bound up with the formatting, but it's just one file and I don't mind. At least it's explicit, and I can tweak the layout precisely vs. what I was able to do in Word (which I'm not that great at to

For my last job change I rewrote my then-outdated resume in Latex using a modified version of the popular resume style. The reason was that I found the usual suspects (Word, Docs) just as fiddly with what I was trying to format, but without

Oh yeah. I recall writing Telix scripts to traverse the galaxy and then calculate the shortest path from a->b based on the portals it discovered. I also recall quite the scandal when a sysop peeked into the admin console and gave an adva

One thing I've realized over 20 years is that while development is what I like, am reasonably good at, and do fine from home, people skills and general smoothing out of things in the office is what the companies have valued me for. I n

Whenever I watch one of Terry's videos, I get highly motivated to program. Not read a blog post comparing frameworks, or a debate about some programming idiom, or even designing some larger project. But literally type stuff into a comp

I've always been intrigued by the age requirement to become an air traffic controller--a federal job no less--which is under age 31 [1]. I recently came across the study [2] that preceded this rule. An interesting read. [1] https:&#x2

"Plans are nothing; planning is everything." - Dwight D. Eisenhower I used to hear this a lot from one of my better bosses. I agree with it. It is, however, important to capture "planning". Any form is fine, whether scri

Though I've gotten better about making due with shorter stretches of time, I eventually realized how important it was for me to have a least some in-depth study time. My wife is the same. Our deal is that we take turns and each get ~

Ha I get this sentiment. My dad was a barber. He didn't love it, but it was just a stable part of life for 30+ years. It was a means to pay bills, and enjoyment came from elsewhere. I'm coming to the conclusion that while work can

Being familiar with RTOS's is certainly useful, since there's a decent chance that your future automotive/aero/industrial job uses one. For a reference of stuff to learn about, go grab the manuals (usually massive) for a

I sympathize. Any of the the todo apps that have an Inbox feature that you can add to from anywhere would probably be most of what you want. I use Omnifocus, though something free/web like Todoist is probably sufficient. If you spend a
