I bought a North Face Jester (2nd Edt) six months ago and love it. Fits a 13in laptop comfortably with a padded sleeve, padding on the straps and back (great breathability), lots of pockets and space. The only criterium I think it fails to

I would love to see some sort of standardisation and rationalisation within software engineering. It's so fragmented and ego driven. Every framework is better than the last, my programming language is better than yours. Thought is rare

When I scroll on mobile (Safari), inertial scroll is broken and scrolling feels jerky and unnatural.

I work at a company doing retail return analytics (pretty niche) and we've found that looking at returning customer segments gives a wider picture. In many cases, high returning customers can be your most profitable in the long term ev

I'm not sure how much value I derive from ad-funded websites, besides maybe Google Search. There was a time most websites were free and run for the good of the community, not for profit and not as a full-time job. I could buy my high-q

Redash is fantastic. Things like scheduled queries just work, and the AMI is a great way to get up and running quickly. The docs are decent and the upgrade script works well. I also really appreciated the (optional) Login with Google featur
