Unless you're fully remote, Asheville is a tough scene to break into if you're in the tech field.

if you work with contractors long enough, you learn to write snippets that you expect will get copypasta'd everywhere. the incentive for them is not to make something great, but to just pump out whatever "works" as quickly as

I was an intern when this happened, but yeah. We were working on a program to manage a piece of industrial hardware, and the hardware was a handheld device. The contractor hired to build out the firmware put something like 16 people working

Coming from the small business/startup world, to a giant enterprise, this is what I struggle with the most. I'm used to digging in the dirt to figure out an issue, and get it done as quickly as possible. Having zero control over t

The tech404 slack has been lit up talking about the nuance consequences of this for weeks. This will have a subtle effect over all developers in Georgia. This would shift liability onto you 100%. You could become the scapegoat for the next

For what he wants, a GPL license might be a better fit than an MIT license with caveats. Because any unaddressed obscurity within those caveats could be a foothold for a lawsuit.

I own an AR15, but I never shoot it. Truth be told, I didn't buy it and normally I wouldn't be interested in owning it. The only reason I keep it is because it's one of a very few things I built with my father, from scratch,

You should be deeply concerned that any topic could be banned without much oversight, as a lot of the banned subs were never informed ahead of time, and were never given an opportunity to comply with the new rules. I think stuff like this i

If you want uMatrix like features in uBlock Origin, go to settings and just click "I am an advanced user". The dynamic filtering matrix should be available after that. Granted the defaults are not as strict as uMatrix, it's a

If you're open to it, you should watch Gattaca. Despite it being fiction, it goes pretty deep into eugenics and genetic discriminationin a modern society.

The irony is that Dart was co-created by Lars Bak, who is also known for creating Chrome's V8 engine.

I think it's hard to consider at this moment, but I'm sure this is something they'll at least investigate and consider. The ad industry is cutthroat, and if this gave them anyone an edge, you can bet all of them will follow s

Sorry, guess I should of been more specific. Margin is thin per package, because shipping is a volume game. Sending a package is actually pretty cheap for most businesses, but unless you have volume, you have no leverage to get a reduced ra

Unfortunately, ethics is not a course taught in most college majors, and is virtually non-existent in public schools.

A VPN provides a secure tunnel, so it prevents your data from being sniffed on the insecure WiFi in your local coffee shop, and up every hop to the terminating server. So you can prevent an ISP and friendly neighborhood hacker from seeing y

Logistics in the UK are quite different than in the US. In fact, I always thought the UK was a bit more innovative when it came to shipping. For example, shipping lockers are still quite new in the US. In fact, I think Amazon owns the only

I used to work for a company that did logistic software, and Amazon creating their own last-mile service was something they predicted years ago. It's a nightmare for them because it will ultimately take business away from every carrier

Honestly, I think the phoenix guides cover pretty much everything you would possibly need ( https://hexdocs.pm/phoenix/overview.html ). Docs for most popular libraries (including phoenix) are pretty high-quality. I would

I built a web app in Go recently, and while it was enjoyable, progress was pretty slow. I eventually decided to change gears and rebuild it in Elixir, and so far I have no regrets. Phoenix is pretty fast, awesome, and powerful. There are a

So what exactly are you looking for? If Google Keep is what you're looking for, then use Google Keep. If you want to share to-do lists, then use Asana or Trello. If you want to manage tasks, I'd recommend http://clubhou

Bulma styles are opt-in as well. Instead of importing just the base file, you could of imported everything except table.sass in elements.

I get pissed off whenever I unsub from an email and get a message saying it may take two weeks for them to honor my request. Like what the hell is going on that it takes two weeks to flip a flag, even across multiple databases? Because they

This reminds me of how some pairs of Converse sneakers have a thin layer of felt on the bottom that rubs off, so that they're considered "slippers" at the time they're exported and not "sneakers" to get a cheap

Okay. I spent a lot of time last week trying to get elixir setup on gcloud, but variables were the one thing I could never figure out and I eventually gave up. Is there some magical way to get variables and secrets in gcloud without having

You can't prematurely expire or invalidate JWT tokens once created, unless you keep a database of tokens, and at that point you should just use sessions because that's basically what it is at that point: A session token with addit

honestly, I don't care if you use your own tracking solution on your own domain, as long as it's not passing the data to a third-party. I get that some of that data is genuinely useful in determining what parts of an app are popul
