Just yesterday I see drove onto a Google Maps recommended muddy dirt road road (like a dumbass) with my rental car just in the Mexican jungle. I thought I could make it, until I couldn’t. I got stuck in mud about 5km, walked through mud t

My first coding job was as a test automation engineer. It was very code intensive and literally no one wanted to talk to me about unit tests I was adding to a virtually untested Java application. If your son has an aptitude for writing te

Yeah, the average speed of traffic in Pakistan, at least in the areas I visited, was much lower that I'd expect to see in the USA.

A large person will burn way more calories from simply going for a walk than a small person. I'm 6'5', 270 lbs, went for a 3 mile walk this morning, and burned maybe 460 calories. A person weighing 135 going for the same wa

I think you’re echoing OP’s point. Some people come to California for opportunity, and when they find enough success, they leave. They’re not CA natives, they’re expats from places with less opportunity and crappier weather. People who w

I mean if your code is open source, and you get an order to insert a backdoor of some kind, how can you put the backdoor in the open source code without violating a nondisclosure clause in the government’s order?

Every team I've been on since 2015 has been distributed, even when my job is "onsite". Sometimes we're in multiple offices, or we have people in the office & people working from home, but the net effect is almost no

I’m trying to communicate they’d rather make more per unit sold, and lowering costs while maintaining quality increases is good for making more money. Maybe upscale would be better than premium.

My impression of Apple is that they have no interest in competing on price. They are a premium brand. In the same way Louis Vuitton could sell cheaper handbags compete on price because they bought & optimized the costs of making leath
