How would you know what you don't know, though? Or what you never experienced or could have experienced? Genuine question, just curious how anyone firmly on the "schooler" or "unschooler" side of the fence can know

I can't help but imagine a future where every single resource that we consume will provided by one of a small number of megacorps (gigacorps?) and branded, right down to the home that you live in, the people that teach your children, t

This looks like an interesting project, but what makes it different from the CloudFormer tool already provided by CloudFormation? On a slight aside, among the many features I wish CloudFormation supported, one of the biggest is the ability

Something that surprised me when reading Flatland for the first time was the seemingly high levels of both sexism and classism. While the classism mostly consisted of the typical oft-repeated jabs that don't really mean anything, the s
