This blog seems to make the same mistake that all programmer management does- that programmers are interchangeable and domain knowledge doesnt matter. Sorry, but I know developers with way more natural talent than I have but without conte

The headquarters are in Estero/Ft Meyers florida. I would know little to nothing about this place except I have a friend living there. He was in golf course management, which should give you a hint about the type of town this is. It is

I have done line drying and it ended up smelling not so great. Like someone who went outside on a hot day. I wonder if you need a low humidity environment for line drying to “work”.

This response pretty much encapsulates your user name 100%. That said, haven't they already started releasing "GMO" mosquitoes in Brazil? Just googled it and looks like they did: https://www.sciencemag.org/news

This thread reminds me of one I saw on here this morning re: the netflix quikster debacle. I would imagine that it is easy to push a narrative that execs are greedy, short sighted and barely competent. I would imagine this can be true, bu

Thank you for the answer. To those who downvoted- I normally don't comment on that, but damn it was an honest question and I admitted to having little knowledge on this and its not like I gave a hot take. Just wanting to learn somethin

I get that you dont want to fly a giant rocket full of liquid oxygen and other explosives into a thunderstorm or hurricane, but what are some practical reasons for postponing a launch due to weather. As I (hardly) understand once you get hi

Largely by a leap of faith. I had considered it for the 2 years prior, but it didn't really happen until I set up the business and I started pitching myself as an independent contractor. I do have a bit of a niche skill set that is som

I’m about your age and also didn’t get off the dev ops career path. I have found, however that it’s not all bad news. I switched to contracting about 6 years ago and have had a better year every year since. Presumably you have a lot of expe

Agreed. Most of what he talks about is timely/topical. I suspect maybe in 5-10 more years it could get interesting again.

On the flip side I think it’s probably cheaper to cut ties with an inactive user than deal with small claims lawsuits, chargebacks and other hassles from people who forget they are subscribed. Honestly I could see this being an honesty test

I am on the opposite side of Houston from you, but its the same here- see my comment re: the 'idiot' drivers. I even have a guy in my neighborhood who has linked property tax increases to globalism and UN resolutions to reclaim la

I was in college getting my MIS degree a little before this article was written, and gopher was already being described is antiquated and vintage technology. The web had a much broader appeal to me and as soon as I could I set up a page on

Is that how it works now? I see tons of Teslas here in Texas and I cant imagine that is the process for everyone that owns one.

I got off of Nextdoor when I saw a 'neighbor' who took to taking photos of people driving(in his words) like an idiot. The way he would take the photos is to chase them down, pull out his phone while driving and take a photo of th

Would it be any different than how it is currently? I think it really could just reduce transportation cost I suppose?

Just depends on whether or not there is a genuine usability and discoverability improvement or not. Most new UI is trending towards way worse. Particularly in mobile.

Maybe its because I write small software or customize existing mature Enterprise apps. I just dont care about the dogma so much. I think there is a lot to like about OOP. There is a lot to like about functional code. I use both quite a bit

Why anyone would install acrobat on a mac is beyond me. The native PDF support is plenty good and if there are adobe reader specific features I dont want them anyway. I may not be the majority opinion here, but I try not to use the format a

Not trying to brag or virtue signal here but this is one cause I really feel great supporting. This is potentially our archive of human history and collective knowledge.

Im not even sure why someone would want to be "bragging" about something that is proven to be awful for health and well being.

I really tried to get into WPF a while back, I learned PRISM and MVVM and tried to go all in. What I found is that most of the time when I build a tool or a windows app its usually a tool for automation or data manipulation. What using MV

Well put. I tried the new 16" keyboard, and while its way better than my 2018 MBP, its still not good enough. Chasing thinness really just seems to be something a select few wanted. As the name implies, I wanted a "Pro" lapto

The Touchbar is terrible for Visual Studio Debugging. I have to take my eyes off the screen and cant rest my finger on F10 to step through code. That is ANTI productive. One of the reasons I spring for a macbook is so I can run MacOS, Windo
