Lol, I know the feeling. My entire family looks at me as the "tech guy" because I'm a developer. Recently talking with my mother, she asked if I saw something on her FB and I reminded her that I refuse to use FB due to their

It kind of makes sense to me. I would assume it's because you put your OS and applications on the SSD for faster load and then to preserve the integrity of the SSDs write limits, store working files on the HDD.

RAW is such an underrated author and thinker. I don’t think there is a book of his that I have not read. I started reading him when I discovered Principia Discordia, Church of the Subgenius, etc. That whole scene of counter culture thinkers

I have been wanting to put together a C64 rig for a long time. It was the computer I cut my teeth on when I was growing up. If it wasn't for that machine, I would have never ended up being a developer. These ads bring back so many memo

The craft of coding and pride in their work. Over the last 12 years I have worked with more people than not that hand off code that solves the problem, but is sloppy and not very readable. I've wondered if this is a byproduct of rushin

What I find amusing is having consulting firms ignore my requests specifically for FE developers so they can hand me some Java enterprise coder who knows their DSA because every 6 months they are re-interviewing. And why do I turn away lite

Really like what you are going for here. I've actually been working on a similar system of a minimalist static site generator off and on for about a year. Looking forward to having a more in depth look at your approach.. and congrats f

I have played with what feels like every framework rebuilding my personal site (which is still in the works). I looked at Gatsby, Next.js, etc. All of them felt like overkill for a simple site. In the end I settled on a self created solutio

Crusader Kings 2 and 3 are the only games that have ever recaptured the accidental all-night gaming session for me like Civ I and II did back in the day. Since discovering CK, I can't tell you how many times I innocently started a game

Skinny Puppy (probably my favorite industrial band of all time), Front 242, Pig, and KMFDM for sure. Einstürzende Neubauten if you are looking for something more experimental. Other bands you may enjoy are Front Line Assembly, Nitzer Ebb, a

It's interesting you mention this. I got a chance to visit the family holler (rural mountain farmstead) when I was a teenager. Everyone back there was still driving old pickups, most of their tools were pretty old as well. You could te

My grandfather, born in the back hills of West Virginia, was forced to leave school when he was around 6 years old to chop lumber so his family had enough to survive. After he left WV, he worked a press at a forge and was a landscaper at ni

I've recently started reading a book called How to Prove It" by Daniel Velleman. It may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I picked up while going through my Discrete Math coursework and it has been an enjoyable&#x2F

As a life long Cleveland Indians fan (grew up there), I realize that it was time to move on from the name. And when I first heard about it this morning I thought "That is the dumbest, most generic non-sensical name I've ever heard

I'm currently using Obsidian to convert my handwritten notes to .md files for Discrete Math. Besides the links already mentioned, this one is great as well as it gives some quick reference examples. https://math.meta.stackex

Gotta love these systems. Once a year I'll get a call from a headhunter trying to poach me for roles with a certain company. Every time they call I have to tell them the same story, "I wouldn't bother trying, they claim I am

Exactly. Having data leave our network (major corp environment) is a huge issue. Even when we are working with vendors, data comes in, but rarely, and only with many levels of authorization does it ever leave. Any tool that is sending any i

Just download a jiggler. Most of the icon color changing systems are just looking for some kind of user event. Turn it on when you step away and no one is the wiser. Didn’t answer a DM? You were in deep focus mode and didn’t see it, etc.

Learning BASIC using one of those gigantic "make your own game" books on our C64. Man I loved that computer. If I remember correctly it was a C64C, so probably around '86 or '87.

Ugh, that's terrible. I had a similar situation when I started interviewing after my startup failed. It was with a major energy company for an Angular developer role. The interviews were going really well until the final interview when

We had the same exact thing happen in Houston. The lot it sat on is now a big eye sore since, I assume, the owners of the building and insurance companies are probably still duking it out in court.

As silly as it is at my age, the weekly D&D game I run. After taking a hiatus from gaming for almost a decade, about a year before the pandemic I bought the newest edition books on a whim and got a game together. It's the highlight

As a transplant to Houston, I will never understand why Austin became a tech center and Houston has not. There is a lot of raw tech talent here, incubators, etc. No matter what policies are in place or what investments are made, it never se

It really is an incredible country. I was there in 2007/2008 and it was really politically in chaos. I think a lot of going back once the pandemic is over.

I only know of them because they acquired Ektron CMS. Which to this day is the worst CMS I have ever had the displeasure of working with.
