Remote VS Code via SSH works absolutely fantastically everywhere with the one exception being the Pi Zero which is a shame.

A lot of these gripes seem to be aimed at either poor imitations of well designed and implemented marketing pages or just straight up poor designs. From my experience as a front ender, I want to make the user experience as welcoming as poss

I think MOOCs are great for the thing you've been sorta kinda interested in but didn't know where to start. Around the 0%-20% background-info ballpark. For me, my most successful MOOCs have been: - CS50 at they very beginning of m

There's a concerning alert on Glassdoor about your company taking legal action against reviewers or Glassdoor itself. Care to comment on that? I hope that's not indicative of company culture.

Because someone on the inside opened the door and let them in, it’s not “storming”? Those Twitter comments are all suggesting this was a setup, but the more likely scenario is that most of those that should be serving as police either were

A classmate of mine in HS always played with his TI in class and I had a similar calculator (TI-84 plus silver edition). I asked him what he was doing and he introduced me to basic logical operators to make math class easier. That’s how it

I refuse to read something from authors that don't have track records of finishing series after reading Rothfuss and Martin. The way GoT was handled should be a good indicator for TV studios that authors who can't deliver a comple

I didn’t know a thing about state machines and lately would deprioritize your xstate frontendmasters course on my learning queue just out of ignorance. For whatever reason, I just watched your React Rally video and I can think of a bunch of

Rarely have I see ROT13 in the wild. A surprisingly sipid and not at all nocuous way of earthing spoilers.

I disagree with your metaphor. Apple is less like a cigarette company making nicotine patches and more like a pharmacy selling cigarettes with warnings on the labels _and_ offering store-brand nicotine patches. A related note: it was only r

I'm building a color palette now for a hobby site. The MaterialUI color guide matches this writeup pretty well. An additional guide that I would love to see: how to make a complementary dark mode (or light mode) palette that still hold

But what number would you like to see on a one liner bullet point to indicate “scale, scope, and complexity”?

I prefer the joy of using a great lightweight cordless vacuum over having a robot vacuum. Vacuuming has been one of the household chores that was delegated to me as a kid growing up, and the difference compared to extremely heavy corded vac

Yep, it was the official Indian student group registered on campus. Nothing wrong with the association itself, but a large subset of it were Bio majors so I’d imagine that’s how many were involved.

Highly anecdotal, but my ex at the time (white), bio major, had a real tough time studying for midterms and finals in undergrad. Meanwhile, my cousin (Indian) in the same class was breezing through the exams, partying more than me (a libera

Ha, that's a pretty good point! I doubt contributors will see good PRs as spam, even if it does have to be sifted through a puddle of nonsense.

I've been a developer for 5 years. One of my 2020 goals, aided by being stuck at home because of a certain pandemic, is to make the leap to being a contributor in an open source project I care about. One of my coworkers shared Hacktobe

I think this is an area where instead of optimizing local hardware, it's all about optimizing network connections. Stadia works great for me for 10-20 minutes until I get a 10 second long stutter (WiFi, router in a different room). I&#

Certainly, there's middle ground (concessions) in several issues like tax rates, zoning, visa policy. Rights-based positions, on the other hand, are no-compromise by their premise. They're binary issues. "Women/BlackPeop

I was in a similar boat. I eventually said sure why not, might actually be great! , sold my house, and moved back in with them. A month later and now I live with my sibling because I hit my breaking point.

In an era of rampant misinformation feeding reality-denial, I think our collective willingness to respond to global catastrophe is worse off today than a hundred years ago. The US response to the coronavirus epidemic is a great example of t
