When I took Trigonometry in high school, it was all about memorizing a bunch of stuff and I did horribly. When I took it in college, the professor taught us how to derive everything based on the Unit Circle. It just clicked. I ended up d

It's also easier to stick to a diet working remotely. No more junk food lunches with coworkers, or people bringing in treats. I've lost 80 pounds over the past two years, and I think remote working played a big part in it.

Add 13 years, and I could have written this. I must admit I cringed a bit when the author said 40 was old. I still love what I do, and I have no desire to live the manager life of all day meetings.

I hate to say it, but I am reluctant to read any 'testimony' from nurses or patients about vaccine harm or issues without knowing their political affiliation. If a bunch of Cheeto loving nurses are claiming it, I will weigh that

I'm perfectly happy with Apple helping me keep my email address out of the author's hands. If he wants it that badly, it's probably not anything that's in my best interest.

I wish I could go back to this. But, I'm part of an international team now; so my productive mornings are a thing of the past. Now, I'm constantly in meetings with the European teams. Then, the American side wants some of my af

WP 5.1 was the best version. If I could use it, I would. Most of us don't need a lot of bells and whistles in a word processor.

Neither the author nor the publication seem credible sources for information on this topic. The author is a Physics professor who was fired for giving all of his students A+ in a course after coming under fire for putting a course descript

Most of us don't have any choice and have to continue to work - burned out or not. I've found that burnout comes and goes in waves though. It doesn't necessarily take changing jobs to help resolve it. Sometimes, it's

We were hit by it over the weekend, and because of our failsafes, our customers didn't notice a thing. Stuff happens. It's our job to prepare for these things as well.

Acceleration has its benefits, but the ideal solution would be to accelerate the educational aspects for the child without accelerating the social side.

On the flip side, you have to challenge them and give them the opportunity to work hard. I think schools get lazy with gifted kids. Gifted kids deserve to be challenged and put to the limits of their abilities the same as non-gifted child

I tend to keep most of my documents in Dropbox or iCloud, and use Alfred to find what I want by typing a word that I think is in the title. Dropbox can search within documents too, and I try to have an organized file structure. Source code

For my ssh environments, I use iTerm2 profiles with keyboard shortcuts to launch. However, I only have about 5 servers that I need to ssh to. I find chrome bookmarks sufficient for my website bookmarks. They sync across computers and can

It seems to be the mentality lately that nobody wants to fix existing stuff and make it better. They want to launch their own disruptive startup, library, whatever. It's true in job boards, it's true in code libraries and tools

What frustrates me is that in the United States, most insurance companies won't pay for hyperbaric oxygen treatment for traumatic brain injuries. My son, 26, was injured in a car accident last November. I would love to be able to get
