More seriously: yes, you should name functions/variables/etc. reasonably. And often if you write a comment, you will find you are actually explaining away a wart. But often you need to document business logic, code that needs to

I've met people who are passionate about finance, usually they are traders though. I've never met a truly passionate accountant. But then I don't know many. I don't know how you would do accounting in your spare time.

Is this my only hobby? Nope. But, would you write code if you had a billion dollars? I would. Mind you, I wouldn't go into a big corporate shop Monday-Friday 9:00am-5:00pm and write random crap that some middle manager thinks he ne

I'm not sure what you're doing that's making each and every listing 50MB, that seems like a lot, are they posting lots of high-resolution images or something?

I've NEVER seen something like this. If you have any skill, don't sign it.

Biggest bull market in recorded history. Yeah, sure, let's short it. What could possibly go wrong?

Active Storage looks nice, and perfect timing for me, I'm looking to add generic file blobs to my toy project in Rails pretty soon.

I use a Microsoft Natural Keyboard on my MacBook Pro, but then I'm typically at my desk.

The massive privacy violations Google and Facebook have done all in the name of advertising really piss me off. What's sad is that they are both so entrenched in everyday life, they're very difficult to work without for me. I ha

Where internal reporting works is when you have a rather large organization and it's some mid-level person in the wrong. Some Multi-Billion-Dollar corporation for example, and some mid-level VP doing something worth reporting. Often

This is one of the nicest things about backpacking as a hobby. You can get to places way out in the darkness, especially if you have the skill to go off-trail.

I write Clojure mostly (also Python when I'm unlucky.) I'm working in Creve Coeur.

The other thing that's really starting to change things is remote work. There's no reason most developers need to be anywhere as long as they can get high speed internet.

Yup. "Freedom of Speech" is something you have. "The First Amendment" is a bit of governance that says the US Federal Government has to at least pretend to give a shit about it. If the US Federal Government can't

I'd like to get into medium format one of these days. I don't think I'll even really want to do the development myself though.

The cost of living is a lot lower too though. I'm in Saint Louis, I have a 15-minute commute to work from a neighborhood where 2x my salary gets a 3,000-sqft+ McMansion with a big yard in a good school district.

You mean a market where vast and large percentages of your property are taken at the threat of force against your will? I think I can imagine such a situation.

The Government is just naturally less efficient in allocating resources than a free market in most cases. So the more of the economic power controlled by the Government, the less efficient it will be. And an inefficient economy leads to l

I'm really surprised this is the first one we've observed, I would have assumed that it would be a regular occurrence, but then I guess space is pretty big after all.

I've got an MS in computer science, and the thing I've noticed missing the most when I've worked with people without a degree is not their programming/software engineering/etc. ability (they seem to pick that up nat

The rich are the most capable of leaving. Even if they don't leave, they can have their money leave by playing silly games with corporate structuring or whatever, which they are the most capable of doing.

I do digital photography for most normal stuff, and have a decent camera for that (not just my iPhone), but 35mm film is what I use when I'm actually trying to be creative. There's something oddly relaxing about shooting film tha
