I would like to lean into having kids at work whenever practical and having them eventually become apprentices to possibly do similar work when they grow up. This has been the historical norm for farmers, shopkeepers, craftsman etc and in m

If you don't enjoy waking up at 4am, work on mobile. Once a new app release is on the phone, nothing is going to make it suddenly break and there is no hurry to send the new release to all users advance, go through internal employee te

Judging by current distribution of interns, coding is becoming a female dominated field. I think this has more to do with pragmatic mindset of asian parents and less with any DEI efforts. How many other fields: - Are not dangerous or unreas

Huh? I am using it rather than remembering it. Since my router only allows specific hosts and ports to be accessed from Internet, there is no need for security between my laptop and my 3D printer, can just upload and print the model /

Another reminder that other developed countries are not like US. On intellectual level and as a hobby street photographer these restrictions sound ridiculous to me. But I went to Japan recently and the place is so safe you can give kids som

Partially true - capitalism will give you what you choose through your actual behavior of making a purchase rather than what you say you prefer or wish you preferred. I bought LED lights for my house back when they were $30/bulb and fe
