I threw away all of my college notebooks as soon as I graduated. But I can definitely understand some of your feelings here, too. I dutifully held onto them for four years, thinking there may be a time when I’d want to look back on them. At

I think there's some consideration of how prone an area is to natural disaster, which makes Intel's picks of places like Arizona and New Mexico ideal. But I think other benefits like a strong labor market or a business friendly ju

This is a great point so many companies don't seem to get. The company I worked for previously thought their pay was "competitive" because they kept people at median of market. Company before that, same deal, I was paid a &qu

Rejecting progressivism or meliorism of course doesn't place someone outside that window of acceptability by itself. It depends on what a person is clinging onto. And I think it's still fair for a person to claim tolerance of a wi

I used repl.it when first learning Scheme years ago and remember it being okay. But after using emacs or Cursive, I couldn't imagine writing in a Lisp without being able to slurp/barf at the very least.

I still use it occasionally as a scratchpad for working things out, especially in languages I'm not as familiar with. Figuring out how to use a standard library function, class inheritance behavior, edge cases like null handling. I def

Do similar restrictions apply to other news apps, aggregators, or social media? I feel like you should dispute this, but I have no experience with their review process.

I think it depends. Will staying in the position mean I will be ready to face the job market with a possible job loss years down the road? Personally, I would judge whether I still have opportunities to learn. If not with the projects I&#x

One example is one of the first bugs I ever fixed as a working developer. A click event was broken on Firefox only because of a nested anchor and button element. As interactive elements, they shouldn't be nested according to the HTML s

I used to really enjoy reading responses on Quora, but at some point, it seems to have devolved into pretty low quality spam and self-promotion.

What I got from it is that any sort of publicity at this scale is potentially harmful to his position as a psychiatrist and person. Not necessarily that the things he said were particularly right, wrong, or controversial. And even though ea

I think this comment exhibits a few problems as part of the conversation on systemic racism. "Information bubbles on all sides" is vague, but it seems to imply people trying to fight racism are either fighting for the wrong reason

I used Alibaba Cloud once for a project on behalf of a China-based customer. The one thing I appreciated most about it was that the service names just describe what they do.
