This is anecdotal but I'm sure many people are seen this increasingly. In the past 10 years on the job, I'm seeing more guys make jokes about how stupid they are. Every time they make a single mistake they say "oh my God, if

Were you ever expecting an important phone call? Maybe from a lawyer, from the government, or worst from the doctor. I always end up hanging up on those accidentally. When you add stress to the situation, I can never tell if it's swipe

I learned CSS twice. The first time was like everyone else does. Google tricks here and there. How to center div, how to create columns with divs, how to do rounded corners etc. This will only get you so far. The second time around, I took

RenlyCoin - The rent friendly coin. Also the coin that never was. When my start-up was failing, the team decided to diversify and explore new ideas. The CEO called me one day and said "RenlyCoin" I said, no thank you. The CTO call

This reminds me of some times in the mid 2000s, I was looking for a job. I had a friend who was a manager at EA. He was trying to get me a job as a game tester but no luck. I had to apply online through their system, but they couldn't

I'm very sorry this happened to you. In a moral perspective we can easily see why this should be illegal. But being a foreigner, a contractor, and dealing with an American company, you'll need to consult with a lawyer to navigate

Don't mind me, just stealing this quote above. On a serious note, this is very well put. It's the nature of language to lean toward a direction.

230 out 100k+ want to unionize? It would be nice for sure, but unions are not coming back[1]. The campaign to disrupt unions was successful and they are easily dismantled without breaking the law. Yet the employees still need protection. Un

Maybe this is more suited to stackoverflow but, how do you load with turbolinks when the two pages use different assets? Let's say each page have different js script tags.

It's 2020, the ipad is 10 years old. It was a revolutionary product. Some people stood in line for hours to be the first to own it. Well that reminds me, i do own one! Get it out of the closet and ah, the battery is depleted. Who expec

We will see the same social cooling effect[1] with smart devices. We will only listen to the right thing on smart speakers, watch the right thing on smart TVs, smoke the right thing on smart cigs, and of course, drink the right coffee on ou

The hardest thing to see here is that we don't have a solution. Firefox makes money by setting google as the default search. Google is its biggest competitor. There are no obvious other revenue stream. Also, let's not pretend chro

I recommend: On the shortness of life, by Seneca. I thought time management was a new problem because of the internet, hustle mentality, motivational porn, bill-gates comparison and whatnot. Here is a book written in the BC era for those st

Video games style learning are great. But I don't know if a classroom of children systematically playing video games on a time based limit to learn a subject will be the same experience. Freedom and pace is what makes them a great medi

I wish paying for news would actually make news organizations prosper. But subscription only slightly help. Looking at past revenue of the LA times, subscribers accounted for under 20% of revenue [1]. The remaining 80% was from advertising.
