SE here. I got a degree in CS and became a software engineer, then realized that as much fun as coding is for well defined short projects, I get bored if I'm doing the same thing day after day for months and years on end. I moved int

Thanking people for the work that they've done -- unpaid -- that has benefited me directly and saved me money just feels like the right thing to do. I was raised to appreciate efforts that others take on my behalf and it's served

I similarly heard all the horror stories and was nervous buying my current house because it has an HOA. My partner and I started sending yearly thank you gifts to the HOA board after our first year here. They manage contractors and landsca

I was briefly hopeful that this was a commercially viable memristor which I've been waiting for since I first heard of them decades ago. "Memristors can potentially be fashioned into non-volatile solid-state memory, which could al

Putting the start menu button in the middle of the panel rather than at a corner seems to forget Fitts' Law. Is this a push to make people use hotkeys more or just bad design?

I hear this sort of thing a lot but don't quite understand it. I've been a vegetarian for eight years, but I eat meat substitute products. I have ethical issues with eating meat and I feel considerably better physically when I do

I had some bad experiences early on with vegan cheese substitutes, so I wrote them off years ago. Recently I was eating my "standard" sandwich order from a local restaurant. It actually tasted so much better than normal that I as

You've never seen a non-religious club? Or a political group? Or a volunteer society? There are plenty of non-religious communities all over the world. Look at any co-op if you want an example.

I'd argue that it's less pretentious and more helpful to non-native speakers, as it indicates pronunciation. It's a marker that the word is pronounced "co-op-er-ate" and not "coop-er-ate". The diaeresis

Since Launchpad existed before Github, Bazaar before Git, and Upstart before systemd, I am not sure where the NIH feelings are coming from.

I'm in the same boat. I've tried a number of packages but they all have flaws: * GNOME Calendar - ridiculous 100% CPU usage at all times, poor reminder handling, restricted to a few providers * Thunderbird - poor reminder handlin

Yes, characterizing any anti-racist efforts as being "told for decades that said national culture is hateful" and "must be destroyed without any decent replacement" is a dogwhistle. This sort of cherry picking and slidin

I'd obviously be very willing to do all of these -- I've already done them as a driver. I've been licensed and driving for 25 years with no accidents or tickets. I'm a member of AAA too, for what that's worth. (T

That's a beautiful example of the entitlement in question. Cyclists pay taxes (did you think that gas taxes are high enough to pay for roads?), cause orders of magnitude less damage and wear to the road surfaces than automobiles, and

Thank you for that post! I discovered it a bit over a year ago when I was trying to make some simple shapes on a 3D printer. Your examples made it easy and understandable, and I've pointed several other folks at your post since.

There are some other devices out there that are made to allow alligator clips onto leads or to use conductive thread, so no soldering is required. Adafruit makes several great little boards, but if you're getting started I'd reco

It's been luck for me, honestly. The way I found my current position was by looking for who was sponsoring meetups in cities around the world in a field I was interested in. From there I found a blog post by one of the founders expla

Definitely. Companies can either "allow remote work" or be "remote first". I've worked at both types. The ones who are "allow remote work" are entirely office-focused and view remote workers with suspici
