I was just watching an old YouTube video of a couple guys throwing a giant rock off a bridge into a river in a remote part of the U.S with no one around. It was 20 seconds long. If it were produced in 2020, you'd have 10 minutes of use

This is a cool startup. I was learning frontend code throughout 2020 using another online learning platform who I won't name because I don't want to dilute the purpose of this post. My biggest issue with these companies is they do

As a designer, what annoys me so much is reading pieces from other designers who provide no evidence to their statements. If you're going to say "x is better than y" at least talk about the difference in performance when you

Well if it makes you feel any better, I've been using a dating app daily for the past two months and the last time someone actually matched and messaged me was early August lol

There's no good timing for these fires but now just seems really bad. Can't socialize inside because of Covid, can't socialize outdoors because of smoke. Tough time to be in the West Coast.

I also found having a mentor is helpful. The mentor can give advice and help work through next steps with you and hold you accountable to things you say you'll do.

That's what I expected too but honestly when I was looking I found maybe... 5 positions? And none of them were entry level.

It's interesting because I spent time learning C++/Rust a year or so back and I stupidly didn't look into the job market before devoting time to it only to get the sober realization in my city of 6 million that very few compa

The reality is people including on Reddit itself ( https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/ilxihw/reddit_g... ) have a lot of legit complaints about how the website now loads on mobile and is delibera

FWIW, when I upgraded my parents operating system for their iPhone, it bricked the phone and I had to take it to the Apple store to get them to get it to stop freezing after attempting to boot the system following the upgrade. The Apple tec

I found my Aeron chair triggered my lower back pain. Since then I’ve moved to mostly using a standing mat and standing up as well as strengthening my core. I might try sitting on my Aeron chair after a few months of core strengthening

My experience online is most time a guy complains about their frustration in not finding someone there's like zero sympathy... except in places where one probably don't want to hang out namely misogynistic subreddit/forums. I

I took fast.ai a few years ago, and then again a year or so ago. I like their lectures and their methodology of teaching which enabled me to meet a lot of interesting people in my city, but I ended up just building models using vanilla PyTo

My friend is the exact same as you. She’s only slept 5 hours a day for her entire life. Any more and she actually feels groggy. She pointed out one reason why that may be the case: https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2018/03

I feel like Seinfeld has a ton of those. Jason Alexander, Julia Louise-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards had a lot of moments where their acting ability carried what would otherwise be a mundane script.

To be clear, I'm not saying I don't care about the discrimination against white men, but generally speaking white men have more societal advantages in North America than Asian men such as likelihood in getting positions in leaders

Some of these are weird. > What PartnerStack is hiring for: Infra devs, Python devs, JS devs, Product, Marketing Yet on their actual Lever.co jobs page the only technical role is a Senior Infrastructure Engineer?

Just my two cents: I'm a front-end dev, and I found this book to connect with me a lot more once I also learned some backend. Earlier this year, I read a few chapters of the book, and it was really abstract to me, so I stopped reading

Couldn't agree more. High end fashion is woefully overpriced items that predominantly largely priced on their brand rather their functionality and material. While yes, you could make the same argument with technology, I can at least ge

I live in Ontario, Canada. To be honest, I'm going to be pretty pissed if schools are a major reason why a second wave happens in the fall largely because the government basically did nothing to help schools reduce the likelihood of tr

I've been using uMatrix for ages and it was baffling to me how some websites that are literally just nice looking blogs have an unreal number (i.e. 500+) of external dependencies.

It's definitely isolating but it's also a solvable problem. Now that all my friends are working from home, we have more of a desire to meet on a weekly basis. We've been going on short after work hikes together regularly. We
