I remember being very excited when this came out. What impressed me right off was the java.net package -- back then, few language environments (except in Unix-land) had built-in networking support. That was usually a (kludgy) add-on packa

My wife and I went to one last week. The seafood and meat departments were impressive, and the rice selection is great -- but it didn't wow us like this article hypes. We still think 99 Ranch is a better Asian grocery store. That was

And we've "been around the block" (i.e. cycles of life, relationships, career, health, ...) a few times. We've become a bit more familiar with the patterns, and familiarity reduces fear and anxiety.

I'm more and more motivated to just cobble together my own dropbox (I know that several folks here have done just that) for my simple needs, to be what dropbox originally was. Their ui has become ridiculous, and 'features' l

It seems creepy to me, especially given how many legitimate reasons there are now to distrust Big Tech. It seems like an abusive husband can plant a tag on his wife (or her car, or purse, ...) and track her quite effectively. Also, even w

Management blaming individuals by name (in public no less) shows severe incompetence at the top. I don't doubt he hired a slacker, but that's on management for hiring and retaining that... to the point of demise? Stupid.

It's similar to the past 2-3 years in television advertisements, where it's also tiresome how one single idea gets copied and copied and copied by every other advertiser. In particular, in the spirit of "inclusiveness",

In my experience, I've seen pairing work in the context of an experienced engineer mentoring a junior, as part of a spectrum of engagement: observing/reading, shadowing, pair programming, to then where the junior acts with more i

Those self-landing Falcon rockets don't impress you? Those capabilities sounded like exaggerated concepts not too long ago. Tesla cars and solar -- truly helping humanity move from fossil fuels (truly like in reality, at large scale)

"I'm talking 20th or 21st century classical" I can't consider anything so recent to be "classical" -- it might imitate the style of older music, but to call that 'classical' makes the word basically m

BS journalism (i.e. typical). Of course, it begins with a false premise: "Researchers have long known that carbon emissions are closely tied to income.". Really? What about poor, developing countries with little or no policy ov

It was called "stop and frisk" in the US. When Giuliani did it in NYC in the 1990s, crime was reduced _dramatically_. Entire neighborhoods were liberated. Washington Square Park went from a very dangerous "no go" zone
