I’m most likely wrong (I hope I am), but I’m worried about the long term economic effect this virus will have on the hospitals. Not right away, but over the next year. We have a large number of people needing hospital care for extended

That is because those statements are really written for you in the first place. They are really written by and for lawyers. This is about finding a balance between comforting as many users as they can, which is lip service, and not say an

I write iOS apps for a living. Most the people I know have moved away from ObjectiveC. When I see language boards, and jobs for iOS, I see Swift asked for over ObjectiveC. On Reddit, Swift has more subscribers than ObjectiveC, most of t

In every place I've been, the IDE choice has been more of a team decision, configuration was personal (some short-cuts, colors, etc). Too much time went into the build environment and other development tools for us, plus if you wanted

My understanding is that Craigslist really killed the newspapers. What funded them was a combo of full page adds and the classifieds. I remember paying $30 to post a garage sale. Since Craigslist expanded you could see each newspaper get

I’m not sure this is only western society. Is there an indigenous culture that values male emotions without stigma? As I think about Asia and Africa, I’m drawing a blank on this. But I’d be happy to be shown wrong.
