This is just my opinion but I find sans-serif harder to read for long pieces as opposed to serif. Lots of mix of fonts on this page. I have to run most of sites through outline.com to normalize readability. Of all the MF websites my favor

That is one thing I always admired about .NET from afar: there was generally one fairly polished framework that you could reasonably trust. In Javaland I feel like I sometimes I have to second-guess everything to make sure I'm using t

I still haven't seen anything as fluid to use on mobile as webOS. Android Pie gestures still don't do it justice. I thin in 2018 we finally have the hardware to see the true potential of webOS but it's too late.

Oh god. HPSM. I totally forgot about that. One large company I worked for used that to file routine IT tickets when it seems like it was a ticketing application for the telecom industry. They must have had some of the best salespeople o

Good for you for asking. As an interviewer myself I wouldn't dare ask a question I couldn't answer.

I think it depends on how it's done and who it's offered by. Georgia Tech is one of the best US overall engineering programs in the US and I'd hope they would take this seriously and employers or other credentialists take it

I wouldn't go as far to say whiteboard interviews == bad company. I will evaluate the company if a whiteboard interview is run poorly however and consider it a bullet dodged.

It's one thing to do it with colleagues for whom you have rapport and the risk of saying something wrong is low. It's a different thing when doing it around total strangers and a new job is on the line.

I'm so paranoid of cloud providers that I back up to OneDrive and Amazon. I should re-enable Dropbox as well.

I have a difficult time with this in structured work environments sometimes. I usually problem-solve with aimless walking and a series of messy throwaway prototypes until I land on something I think is a decent candidate. Having a 2-day ta

I think the icons actually are cool and futuristic but there are so many of them an average person cannot realistically keep track of them all. I can only assume they're for marketing purposes to show in slide decks or websites. I also

I love these low-key ways to play games over lightweight protocols. I know this is a bad example but Facebook Messenger used to have this but they took it away. Not sure why. It was one of the few things I actually enjoyed about it.

One of the most important lessons I learned was spending several pages of notebook paper devising a clever solution only to find that it completely doesn't work. Pretty darn good way to humble yourself.

I've had to disinfect so many of my friends computers because they downloaded VLC media player from a website that looks darn close to something "official" but wasn't. Even with the one-time perms to allow this specific

Does anybody else here remember the late 90's when you had to try multiple search engines to get something close to what you were looking for? Google has largely solved that problem and are (IMO rightfully) rewarded for it. I really l

Dumb question but does the lensing distort what we would see if there was no lensing at all? Or does that information get compressed as part of the lensing and we need to "stretch" it out to see it?

I gotta give that sub props. They got me hooked. Went to a meetup for that sub in DC last year and it was really cool to see how friendly that community is and how creative they are.

The in-home service is the last thing I'd want. But I have been shopping at Best Buy way more than I used to. Here's why. A few years ago I bought a big-ticket item (TV) and obviously wanted to see it before I bought it. They wer
