Soon after George Floyd, my manager came under immense pressure from HR to inquire me about my race. I declined to comment. So they decided to mark me as a minority based on my ethnic name. It still bothers me to this day that my race is so

I've tried Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and Brave Search. I desperately want a better privacy-centric search engine. But nothing could ever give me results as good as Google. Then several months ago I heard about a pilot for Kagi. I decid

Yes, this has been my observation as well. I also see this happening concurrently with what I call the "shiny object" problem. Developers have their eye on a shiny new library, framework, language, etc. and have a seated desire to

Thank you. I think this gets me in the right direction. "heirloom seeds" seems to be what I am looking for. Some online testify that they find heirlooms taste better. I'll have to do some more research and try them myself to

This sparks an interest of mine. I want to grow my own garden of fruits and vegetables. I can grab seeds from my local hardware store. But are these genetically the best I can buy? Is there not a genetic strain of seeds that I can buy som

Oh, its not about good coders. It's about who they select. Companies now explicitly ask DIE (diversity, equity & inclusion) questions. Its the new filter to select those that follow this new orthodoxy.

You may very well may be right that terms "allowlist" and "blocklist" are objectively clearer. I'm in favor of the idea of changing language to make things clearer and more effective. But the contention I have is th

Similar experience for me. Many online forms fail to accept any email extension that isn't ".com", ".net", ".edu" or ".org". I'm surprised, because developers should know better that there a

Yes. Google search quality is abysmal today. Results are always content farms, top 10s, click-baity headlines, and sponsored articles. I've tried Duck Duck Go. It's "ok". I like their stance on privacy, but their results

It is a beautiful structure for sure. I just wish the image uploaded was of better quality. It's too compressed. It's hard to make out the intricacies when everything looks to pixelated.
