It's not directly about constant relocation. It is about keeping options open and the freedom comes with it. Yes, relocating has it's costs especially on one's social circle, but I'd still prefer a job that lets me decid

Autobreaking typically only cares about what is in front of the car correct? There are possible scenarios where an attentive driver may opt for a frontal collision to avoid a T-bone that could kill them. There are arguments to be made both

Looking at games, Minecraft (before being sold) and Terraria would be up there. WhatsApp is probably the best example from recent history. You also have private companies like You Need A Budget (YNAB) which are highly successful, but fairly

There are plenty of independent communities that exist. In my opinion Facebook has hurt a lot of these group, but if you look they still exist. Similarly there are plenty of independent Discord and IRC servers depending on the hobby. I have

I recommend reading "A Mind at Play", a biography about Shannon. I found it to be a decent read. Funnily enough, I knew about him more through the unicycling community than I did through computer science. It wasn't until a fe
