   Sorry downvoters. This wasn't a good idea. I didn't think of SO.

   I install git by compiling from source, as Ubuntu's version is behind a bit. My normal set of options isn't working. ./configure --with-openssl --with-libpcre2 --with-curl --with-expat --with-pager=less --with-editor=vim --wi

   This isn't biblical retribution. In the Bible, there are consequences for crime, for sure… but there are also the concepts of restitution and restoration. You weren't punished forever. Forgiveness existed. You weren't in debt

   Can't help but feel a bit of vindication/validation after reading this. I've commented on the declining quality of Apple hardware and software, and switching to Windows 10 + WSL, several times on other posts. Like OP, this is

   I would love to talk to you about your firm, just to get some questions of my own answered. Got time to chat?

   Because spreading your knowledge is one of the best ways to pay it forward that there is. (Among many other reasons!)

   I'm a developer. IRC is still the best to me, after all these years. Social networks come and go. IRC is FOREVER . ;) I've been on IRC for just shy of 20 years. It is still the network that provides the most value and help, BY

   Self-publish your stuff. You have nothing in your way. The only thing stopping you, in this case, is you. Don't try to be an international bestseller. Just find a smaller group of true fans. See: Kevin Kelly See: Seth Godin <-- wher

    Your last point is exactly what I wanted to communicate to the first commenter. Lots of tinkering needed to get even close to the same functionality. That is exactly the opposite of "works out of the box".

    "it takes all of 30 minutes to just wipe your hard drive and install Ubuntu on your ThinkPad and you'd be much better off for it" is a VERY incomplete picture. You're leaving out the part where you're spending count

    I upgraded my 2016 MBP w/Touch Bar to a ThinkPad P1. For the same price, I get a far superior machine. For less than what I paid for the maxed out '16 MBP I get: * Hexacore Xeon CPU * 64GB of RAM * 2TB NVMe SSD * Nvidia Quadro P

    I agree that the Liberal Arts are crucial, but this sentiment seems to be gone in favor of a more vocational approach. While it still exists, good LA programs are rare, and largely dismissed by society as not worth it. See all the parents a

    I realize I'm likely going to be a dissenting opinion here… but I'm not sure this is a good investment. Unless you're going to enter a field that requires the pedigree that starts with college (i.e. medicine, law, engineering

    Chef is for configuration management, not for surveillance. Like they said... they can install surveillance stuff on your machine, but that was likely just as possible prior to introducing Chef into the picture. It's likely that they

    12GB seems an odd number, when it's usually multiples of 8. Anyone else think that? I wonder if it's because of size constraints?

    I genuinely don't understand why there's any surprise here. Lack of confidence / fear / worry... it's a HUMAN trait. Not a gender-specific one. Of course, this would strike men just as hard as women. Why would the

    With as useful as both Vagrant and Packer are to users... I don't understand how they don't contribute to the bottom line equally, or at least in a significant way.

    Walk. Move. I have a treadmill desk. Walking covers a multitude of sitting sins. :) I find standing desks alone trade one mobility problem (sitting) for another (standing in one place). Moving is a much better solution.

    I wish they'd make the iPad more development-friendly. I don't know exactly what that looks like… but if they did that, I'd use it as a daily driver in a heartbeat. So so so done with Apple laptops, though. It seems like the

    This makes me happy. While I am not anti-police... I feel like there is far far FAR too much abuse of power going on.
