I came across this a while back and, wow, the rabbit hole I’ve fallen down since reading it. I don’t have a formal CS/CE background and only work with computers on a high level. I know how computers work, but wanted to _really_ unders

It’s a bit broad, but spending money because it made me feel like I was doing something. What a waste. I’d go to the bookstore, buy a stack of books — because I wanted to read and relax — only to fall asleep because I was so exhausted for r

Until society and governments considers mental health as equal to physical health (improving, but still working on it) I don’t see any government acting to curb online environments in the same way tobacco companies were dealt with. It’s eas

There’s a supposed migration of tech folk to the Miami area. Coconut Grove is one of the more desireable areas for a more tropical lifestyle.

I live in an affluent area that gets hurricanes. You know when a storm is coming because certain shelves of goods are wiped out — non-perishable items, bread, water. When the pandemic hit, these were the same items people hoarded (in additi

Second. Worth noting: PBS’ “American Experience” did a documentary (part docudrama?) on the accident which was okay, but not as nearly as outstanding as the book. I read the book is the result of seven years of research. The text itself is

Thank you. Heartbreaking. When she mentioned air support being pulled back, I wondered if the U.S. could have still kept some order through that alone. It made me think of how the Americans maintained no-fly zones over Iraq for a dozen year

Out of curiosity, is something like a Raspberry Pi Zero an option in terms of availability and having the equipment lying around to make it work (i.e. SD card, usb plug, etc.)? You should consider reaching out to the Raspberry Pi Foundation

I find these kind of examples are great for learning, and I cannot wait to try out this one. Does anyone know of an ‘awesome’ list-type collection of these types of tutorials?

The answer is reflected in what ultimately happened in Bezos’ own personal life. He talks about work-life being a “circle,” but his divorce introduced a gap in his own. If such thinking didn’t work for the world’s richest man, why would the

Florida has been here already when insurance companies stopped providing policies given the threat of hurricanes. It forced the state to create its own company, Citizens [1], an insurer of last resort. With private insurers, all it takes is

This is a grit-your-teeth issue every time a storm comes near, especially with the building boom in South Florida (Palm Beach, Broward, Miami-Dade Counties). Before Hurricane Andrew hit in 1992, the region had not been impacted by a signifi
