Physical fitness definitely gets harder with age, but the good news is that if you keep fit habits, it's not hard to maintain. Basically, you're going to need to care a whole lot more as time passes if you really do want to get fi

Would it be possible to Uber-ize the gatekeeping? Somehow find, train, and trust contract workers to vet candidates somehow. How big would your legal team need to be??

Where I work now doesn't have any real interview structure or way to measure candidates. It makes interviewing difficult, but honestly in the end the most important part is the answer to "would I like working with this person?&quo

Yet retirement account startups are going gangbusters. They have similar challenges: older people have much more to invest and are hesitant to put it in newer tech. So, it really just seems like a marketing issue.

Is that good for them? Is there currently a shortage of drivers?

Just sign "No contract provided" and hand it back like it's no problem. If the employees don't care to actually give you a document, what are the chances they are going to scrutinize your "signature?"

This also happened recently to one of our clients that refuses to allow us to manage their cert... I guess there is a market for a reminder service.

As a fulltime web dev, I had a guess of who's cloud that was, but had to look the name up. They may have numbers due to Chinese usage, but no Western company is going to use Chinese hosting, ever.

A little bit of reading between the lines combined with Google's history of sunsetting services that aren't creating enough profit.

This brings back a lot of memories. One of my proudest technical achievements was as an intern: an assignment to figure out how many unique emitters were in a field of data picked up by some antenna. The data was provided on a CD with not a

Isn't this pretty (relatively) old software? I agree, it is great for homeowners to easily spitball reno ideas with a small learning curve, allowing you to share your vision with your spouse or architect.

This is especially important with your spouse/partner/significant other. At the beginning of our relationship, I can't tell you how many times I heard, "I'm not asking for you to solve my problem, I just want you to

Oh great, now my coding sins can live on forever!

That's easy to say. The reality is for most of us, when we're tagged on some issue, our reaction is to at least check it out and assess the priority, etc.

Eek -- this seems to be a step in the wrong direction from work/life balance.

The MagSafe connected to the computer I'm on right now is 10 years old and in perfect condition. I own a few USB-C devices, which are all obviously much newer, and none are as reliable as the MagSafe.

Not always true. Sometimes customers hate the vendor, but there is no viable alternative. Just remove a couple pain points and you can create a shift.

Very impressive. From an engineering standpoint, Stripe knocks it out of the park.

Since readers here might be more apt to have the same problem: Has anyone else noticed Catalina doesn't remember external display rotation when waking from sleep? There have been a few instances where it somehow restores the proper rot

Well, I had to stop reading when I scrolled a bit and some pop up blocked the content with (I presume) the button to close it off screen on mobile.

Aside from the many, many different sizes, I really miss barrel jacks for charging. Like USB-C, there is no wrong way to plug it in, but the connection always feels solid. I currently have to wiggle my USB-C and find the right angle to achi
