Our mother in law is staying with us due to the unexpected passing of her husband, and we have been experiencing this first hand as we look for a shared home. Not only is there no multi-gen homes in our area (exurb an hour away from a major

I'm puzzled by your citation of Vietnam given that after the war America enacted a trade embargo for ~20 years and tried to hamstring their economy through agencies like the IMF. Outside of maybe Cuba you couldn't have chosen a be

"The idea that a communist movement could have existed without KGB interference is equally absurd." This was the case throughout Latin America. Castro, Bosch, Allende, etc. Furthermore there are no examples of the KGB interfering

This played out how many (myself included) speculated it would. 1. t_d would not be banned as long as it was moderately active (it's basically been dead for months) 2. If it goes, ChapoTrapHouse gets banned as well. The big thing here

I worked about 3.5 years at 2 huge companies, one as an employee (company #1) and the other as a consultant (company #2) as a developer. There will often be inertia, delays, and even silence when having to go through organizational processe

First of all, congrats! One of the most important things I've found is to know exactly what is expected of you. Everyone has different ideas about what an architect is, and an architect's responsibility in one role can differ from

In my admittedly limited perusing of the sub I've found that often the exact opposite result occurs: the OP is called out for their behavior and then actively defends themselves in the comments or is completely oblivious to why they&#x

In 2012 you were building sites and even applications with a stagnant language (JavaScript) that lacked any module/bundling support while having to support multiple browsers with differing standards. Routing, state management, dependen

Unfortunately this information was expected to be divulged and collected before the internet was widely used. Policies and infrastructures were not put in place (or ignored, as I've personally witnessed) to protect this information onc

A couple of them are via Pluralsight, which is only free via a temporary trial (10 days). The others that I checked are available via Udemy, 2 of which are not free but heavily discounted, as most Udemy courses typically are.

That's impressive, I can't say the same thing about my 2013 retina. It wasn't until the last ~6 months that I noticed a drop-off in battery performance. Not sure if it was from streaming football/hockey games or my tende

The bit about Trump ordering Lewandowski to deliver a dictated message to Sessions to limit the investigation to future elections (Volume II pg. 90-94) is something new and interesting.

Disabling JavaScript should be a suitable work around as it requires JS to run their check for private browsing. Also I have JS disabled by default and I have no issues accessing articles from the NYT, WaPo, etc.

Hopefully seeing someone (even as well off as NYC is) push back against showering taxpayer dollars on a company of Amazon's stature will lead to a reevaluation of taxpayer subsidization for corporate relocation/expansion.

This is a poor analogy for multiple reasons: 1. Basketball is entertainment, and 'The Decision' was the result of years of speculation by the fans and the media. Furthermore you see similar spectacles for such things as National S

The worst dev I ever worked with was overly negative, complained about everything, was indirect and passive aggressive, and was dramatic over the smallest things. Specifically they would know what an issue was and who was responsible before

No they're not, their idea of freedom of speech extends no further than "I want to say whatever I want." Their longstanding history of doxxing, conducting raids, etc. on those who they disagree with are the exact opposite of

I must admit, it has been entertaining watching how the meme's proponents have acted as if they have uncovered some great Truth of the human experience, when in fact it's nothing more than the tired old "I am a critical think

Raising the specter of globalization ultimately is just hand-waving the problem away. For example, when are we determining that globalization began? If we claim in the 1990's than how does that explain a similar hollowing out effect su

I have to agree. I noticed with more recent philosophy works (including some on this list) it could feel like the philosophers were more interested in arguing with one another than educating the reader. I also think this is part of the reas

There's a series of books titled "Very Short Introduction" where many of them will cover schools, topics, and thinkers involved in philosophy. They run about 150-200 pages and often provide a good overview of the material. I
