Given the current political climate, I would say it's less likely to be because of some start up and more likely to be part of the wider GOP effort to claim the world is full of predators who are trying to corrupt your child's inn

Honestly, this is the first time I've ever heard of m-expressions. I know of Wolfram from Mathematica and he has HUGE credit in my mind for building that.

This is the feeling I have every time I read Wolfram's writing. It seems deep when first approached, but is ultimately a superficial rewording of established knowledge.

When I was writing my thesis I had one rule that kept me going: one page a day. Every day I had to add at least one page to my thesis. It could come from text or charts or a table or the bibliography or wherever, but that page count had to

I had to read that section three times to make sure I was parsing all of the involved parties correctly. You know you've lost the argument when you defend your client by saying they're just acting as the mob would.

Is this what passes for new, disruptionary journalism these days? That felt like a half-researched blog post and added zero analysis or context. It was basically a string of unconnected tweet-style factoids.

This sounds like something worth giving a shot. I'd love to see how other companies grew through the same technical challenges I'm seeing now. That said, I didn't see a way to easily subscribe to it without first signing up f

For layout work, I highly suggest https://flexboxfroggy.com and https://cssgridgarden.com . You'll end up with a strong understanding of both display: flex and display: grid. Once you know how to (ab)use these, m

I have 5 goats. I milk 3 of them. Right now, I'm getting very little milk because I'm in the final process of drying them off so they can give birth in 3 months. I'm currently milking about 2 pounds total from them every 3 da

Not everyone has a passport. It is a lot of work to get one, costs over $100, and can take months to have them delivered.

You're very lucky. The worst wipeout I ever had was on the side of a small town street. I was accelerating, the chain popped of my gears, and I basically flipped the bike over and ground to a stop on my helmet. My reactions and trainin

I find college debt forgiveness to be backfilling an unequal burden we put on college students starting about a dozen years ago. During the great recession, many states needed to crank up tuition to cover gaps in their university budgets. S

I found a easy solution to this one a while ago: middle seat gets both armrests to compensate for it being the middle seat. When I get an aisle or window seat, I relinquish use of one of my armrests to the middle seat.
