I'm in a startup now, but friends and former colleagues are in established, public companies. None of us are in the AI world though.

Played the initial murder with my wife. We both loved it! It's a little quirky - as is all AI - so sometimes we learned things from the fact list that hadn't actually been divulged (at least once I couldn't get the character

You should be able to switch to a local file path reference for the gem source in your application's Gemfile while you are developing. You can also set up a dummy Rails app in the gem's test environment, allowing you to write auto

I have a similar resume to yours. 8 months ago I put my resume up on hired.com. I had to turn it off after about a week because I had so many interviews already and the requests kept pouring in. I ended up turning them all down because thin

Another article where WSJ leaves out key information needed to understand it. In this case: where do those stock units come from? If the company had to buy them, that should show up as an expense. If the company already owned them, they sho

One design choice I love here is having the track pad centered on home row, instead of centered on the laptop body. Lenovo has the same orientation. I recently had to switch back to a body centered track pad for work and now I'm aware

There are a lot of low information comments in this thread. Let me try to inject some more information. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not "chronic fatigue". In that sense it is a misleading name. It cannot be eased by sleep. Rest is

Are there guardrails on this? This comment makes it sound like the board can print their own money.

"any more and we'd be lying" I live and work in Colorado, which has had a similar law for over a year. I have been offered positions over posted salary ranges, and I have confirmed others have taken positions with salaries ov

Somatic Symptom Disorder, sometimes called Psychosomatic Disorder, is defined in the DSM V and does not mean the symptoms are "all in your head". It refers to patients with a compulsive-to-the-point-of-self-damaging focus on their

Those limits feel valuable to me, too. I first noticed it when ipods replaced portable CD players. Suddenly I had a huge collection of music, anything I wanted at any moment, and my interest in music dropped.

I had some pain behind that ear beforehand, but it was numb. No pain or lightning for me. I think Bell's Palsy often comes with some kind of pain, but I'm not sure about your kind.

This sounds like Bells Palsy, not neuralgia. I had it and have seen one other person have it. The cause is unknown but it clears up on its own over months. That side of my face is still a touch droopy but it gives me character.

As someone who has built production applications in about half a dozen server side languages, Ruby and Rails have both proven highly enjoyable. This blog post is a good reminder of why. They were both built for developer happiness and produ

Taking time off is a skill! I think the 3mo threshold is common. It takes a long time to start to "let go" as you say. Pre-tech career I worked seasonally and for years had 4-5 months off a year. It let me build up a different, mo

I agree, webpacker makes learning Rails harder. It's a shame. But learning on a non current version is a short term solution. A good tutorial, like Michael Hartl's, will get you over that hump.

I think there's reason for optimism. Myself and a few former colleagues, all at different companies now, are all seeing a big uptick in usage because their product is being used more as the world goes remote. That will take some time t

"The disarray was typical of a predator’s home." Is this true? Do sexual predators tend to live in wildly unkempt and unwashed homes?

I spent a day and a night in Tonopah, NV, in the clown motel, but not by choice. It was a story-packed 24 hours. I never thought I'd see someone writing about being a tourist there though. Tonopah's economic collapse is written st
