The Golfer's Journal: https://www.golfersjournal.com/ . It's basically National Geographic, but for Golf. I adore it.

This is pretty wild news to wake up to on a Monday. What an enormous power move.

I've given up fighting white boarding. If anything, at least it can be gamed, plus if their expectations are bad or you got bad luck on a topic you didn't study for, at least you get to waste their time as well. I'll take t

I experienced it and got more depressed than I'd ever been before. It's absolutely not for everyone.

It's all in my brain. It's not a good idea and I know I should be keeping a budget, but every time I try, I end up ending reaching the conclusion that I should just focus on making more money instead. I have reasonable rent, no

I throw away rough drafts all the time for non-trivial work that I don't fully understand yet. There are different approaches to it, but I usually just create a throwaway branch to hack out a naive solution until I run into the non-ob

Sorry for the downvotes. For the speedrunning community, somebody pointing out that using glitches during a speedrun is cheating is a bit like making an obvious joke about somebody's last name. Not the first time they've heard i

I remember going to the Wilsonville Fry's as a kid and playing Gran Turismo 2 for PS1 in an awesome demo setup with a steering wheel, shifter, and huge TV. I went back last year to the same store and found it downright melancholy. Li

My living situation, for one: I have no easy way to charge the thing while living in an apartment complex. That anxiety alone keeps me from going to a dealership. Range anxiety doesn't bother me, just the ability to keep the thing go

The entire landscape of being a wage slave is "dangerously hostile". I can't think of any place I've ever worked where I would think this was a good idea if I wanted to keep my job. Not saying I agree that I should los

I spent 3 months fully remote, and by the end I was fully depressed. There’s something about looking at the same walls of my apartment for 14 hours a day that just did not work for me at all. I would occasionally go to coffee shops or wha

Maybe, but programming now provides a stable income for way more people, whether it's their passion or not. In this day in age, the ability to put food on the table trumps any sort of bit-banging nostalgia IMO. The fewer gates we kee

I mean, yeah. It’s a different skill-set entirely. Also forces you to go back to CS fundamentals that you almost never use directly in industry (like remembering what a red-black tree is or how Dijkstra’s works again). Once a year really

2-5 interviews a year feels like a lot, but I _do_ recommend interviewing at least once a year. I'm now ~10 years into my career (I have a CS degree as well), and interviews scare the hell out of me and keep me sharp if I ever need to

It's piling on a bit, but having worked in tech at Nike, this kind of thing is unsurprising. Huge, bloated company with a _really_ bad clique problem.

If you're a developer, in the USA, and you don't work on your life's work...why? There are limitless companies where you can put your 40 in and not literally burn yourself out to death.

This is now the 3rd place I've seen this. As a dev I immediately just assume it's a bug, but maaaaaaan it doesn't look that way if you're not. I've settled for cancelling my Wow Classic sub in place of deleting the

I start a new job on Wednesday for this exact reason. My remote gig was awesome until the depression kicked in. I didn't know that about myself; I need to physically be around other people.

This is what I try to do as well, and it works so well; it's very motivating to know that you have a comfortable starting place to come to in the morning. Another thing I've started to do whenever I don't necessarily have a

Regex is one of those topics I just can't seem to commit to memory. The concept is easy enough, and every time I need one I can usually work out what to do after a short amount of research, but I feel like I forget immediately afterwa

I wonder what Microsoft’s number was to get him off of Twitch; it has to have been alarmingly high.

This is where I've landed as well. Earlier in my 20s I thought it was required for me to work on side projects that I have zero real interest in just so that I can keep up with my peers who were clearly better than me, when in reality

Startups failing is nothing new, if anything it would probably be seen as a positive by most reasonable employers. Definitely leave out explanations as to exactly why; "it just didn't grow fast enough" should be enough.

I can't provide a source right now, maybe Matt Farah, but I've always heard i3s are of extremely high quality. Perhaps people like to project their range anxiety onto the rest of the vehicle?

I feel this way too. The only way I can describe it is like pressing the sprint button in the video game is the only way to get any work done anymore, because my natural curiosity is largely gone. Wait until I have enough mental energy to

EQOA is probably my favorite game of all time. I can't tell you exactly why, but I've never been as engrossed in a world as I was in EQOA. I can't fully separate nostalgia goggles with reality, but that was a criminally und

I did undergrad research in school (CS, moved on to industry after I got my BS) and I heard the same thing; all of the grad students I worked with (Masters as well as PhDs) were paid by grants and the like. I went to a large state universi
