As a frequent user of meetup.com, I feel like it succeeded at making people one-time acquaintances and failed miserably at making lasting connections. I'm a member of several groups and most of these groups do not see any single indivi

You'd be surprised how many factory electronic components on Amazon are being advertised by "legitimate" vendors who are selling Chinese knockoffs. I just had a first-hand experience with this by purchasing a factory Nikon ba

Wanted to share something that I think is relevant to this discussion. I'm an avid listener of Rogan's podcast and I found his recent interview [1] with Sebastian Junger very insightful. Junger is a journalist who spent a lot of t

I agree that screaming something like this on Twitter when you're in temporary rage is nothing but childish. But it's also hard to ignore that someone who represents webpack was able to resolve the situation calmly and civilly onl

Denver and surrounding areas will be unaffordable in the next few years, much like San Francisco today. It's a good time to buy property now and see it double in value.

We were in the exact same position and ended up converting to react to escape another potential clusterfuck with angular. This was despite the fact that I enjoyed angular very much but as you said it is certainly scary from business perspec

I've been saying this about every model of XPS then I'd buy one and suffer through constant driver issues. The build quality is definitely there which was lacking before but the quality of drivers make me run for hills.

I don't think @Boothroid sounds bitter. I frankly think your comment is just bizarre because all 3 examples you listed make it seem like you're looking for a benefactor, not a friend whose company you enjoy over a cup of coffee wh
