Tumblr blogs often include people's names, faces, and/or details about their personal lives. That's very much personally identifiable information! And while they did post it publicly, they likely didn't do so with the in

The big problem with using a software portfolio is that plenty of competent engineers don't have impressive work that they can share. If you don't (or can't, because of other obligations like parenting) code in your free time

My frustration is with the higher end cards right now. At $700, you get similar performance now with an RTX 2080 Super as you would have with a GTX 1080 Ti two and a half years ago. My uneducated guess is that this is caused by a lack of co

Basic CS/programming. I would have loved to have the opportunity to take something in high school comparable your average CS 101 class (and stretched out over two semesters for sanity purposes.) I would have gotten much more out of tha

I can't speak for Diaspora, but Mastodon isn't any harder to use than Twitter. It's mostly network effects that keep people there.

That seems backwards. Dense cities are where mass transit is a viable alternative to cars. It would make more sense to focus on that in cities and focus on self-driving cars where individual cars are unfortunately a requirement, like the su

That seems really unlikely. People are used to devices being things that you buy once and keep forever without a subscription. Why would Microsoft go out on a limb and do something weird like that?
