When I was traveling for work back in the late 90s, I bought a GustBuster umbrella out of the SkyMall magazine for my brother's HS graduation. He used it all 7 years of undergrad and law school. I may have even used the seat-back phon

My colleague posted a socially awkward penguin meme ridiculing his failure as a mobile game developer. The post itself was funny and relatable, but didn't have any self-promotion. People asked about the game in the comments and he got

Sure, but it's kind of a cheap limitation. 6/6 CPU/GPU would make more sense in terms of positioning the different models. Up to .14x faster graphics performance for $250

We had a guy in our college band with perfect relative and absolute pitch. One time we walked out of the dorms and the AC was squealing on top the building across the street. "Hey Dave, what note is that?" "Do you really wan

In St. Louis, almost all of the engineers working for me in the past 5 years have had total comp between 100 and 170. New grads were in 60-80 range, but I think one or two job changes should have you at 100 in your first 3-5 years.

Noted - I saw the graphic for USB-C Power Adapter. Looks like it's just the plug side. Maybe we'll keep dragging out lightning forever

We gave our dogs canine genius toys - basically a rubber log that you stuff treats in. As they chew and play with it, the treats come out. My dog would take it up the stairs, stand it on end, and cartwheel it down the stairs - dispensing a

Youtube videos are nice since you can change the playback speed. Tutorials on other platforms might not have that. Also, for me, I could control Youtube with the play/pause button on my keyboard even when it's not the active wind

We used to have a prophecy that when the IT apocalypse hits, we'll be pushing our shopping carts around like in Cormac McCarthy's The Road; moving from company to company to fix the VLookups in their Excel spreadmarts

My buddy's nickname in HS was Flowbee. His mom cut his hair. It actually looked good, I think it was the uniform nature of it that earned him the name.

That was amazing "AI" for the 1990s. It would play never-ending bebop solos that were pretty legit. The author must have been a well-versed musician and programmed in the standard licks from the jazz vocabulary.

Same for me. My team members have all told me their productivity is up sharply without me prompting them during 1:1s. I was a strong advocate of in-office work before, but now I think we'll probably plan 2-3 days weekly from home onc
