This is maybe one of the greatest advantages I have gained in my years of experience at one company. When I started, I was inheriting the code of other people, with all the baggage of trying to understand it and keep the mental model intac

The best stretch of my career, I was going into the office on Mondays, and working from home the rest of the week. Mondays, I would go to meetings and collaborate, and plan the rest of the week, and Tuesday through Friday I was working thr

BTW, the original paper is about Cervus Elpaphus, which in the US we call Red Deer. This is different from American Elk, and also from Scandanavian Elk (which we Americans call Moose). Moose are terrifying, since they are often upwards of

In order to be impeached, you have to actually have committed a crime, no? So far as I know, tweeting dumb shit is not yet a criminal offense. I've suspected from the outset that four years of Trump would effectively amount to four yea

It's pretty common, reading memoirs of very proficient soldiers, who have killed dozens or hundreds in battle, that they are respectful and even admiring of their foes.

I've seen the exact same behavior with white-tail deer. All summer, they will be in the field and gardens back of the house, morning, noon and night, but as soon as November rolls around, they ghost during daylight hours, and retreat

It's hilarious, and to be honest, I wouldn't be all that surprised if there was a startup tone-deaf enough to actually form around the concept. "Booth babes" are still a thing, stupid and sleazy as that is.

It's been great for my 401k, though. The best months in the past ten years were November 2016 and January 2017.

At this point, I only buy my sunglasses from the fishing aisle in the sporting goods section of Walmart. The Ugly Stik pair I got most recently is the best pair of sunglasses I've ever owned, and only cost about $10 (must have been on

As a primarily .NET developer, I think I can count on two hands the number of times that I've needed to actually write my own generic types. Generic functions are maybe slightly more common, but still pretty rare. However, if I had a

The full toolbox is less than a dollar a day - it's not like we're talking about really expensive licensing. They're not RedGate.

I'm not entirely sure how it would be possible to make any secure conclusions about the provenance of a gun that was used in a crime. As far as I know, it is not legal to keep a registry of serial numbers and who they were originally

BH Liddell-Hart's Great Captains Unveiled is one of the better ones I've come across, if early 20th century British historical writing style doesn't bother you. https://www.amazon.com/Great-Captains-Unveiled-L

That's not really going off the beaten path enough to find bargains. If remote work was more reliable and easy to find, I'd be sorely tempted to move someplace out in the sticks, albeit where there is high-speed internet access,

Back in that twilight era when there were music videos for most hit songs, and MTV was actually still showing them. People are going to be amazed at what a big deal TRL and Carson Daly were. Some of those videos from that era were really e
