I think you built my case for me. Sac is consistently hot (90s every day for at least 4 months in the summer) and so, basically every house has AC. Many have solar panels (mine does) because of the available sunny days, for sustainability.

I did this and completely agree. I lived in the bay area since high school, more than two decades ago. Last year I finally moved away from it for good. Not far, just to the Greater Sacramento area. (I've been working remotely for a cou

I find the fragmentation interesting. In the mid to late 90s when I was first on the internet, the "prominent search engines" ranked (given to me by my ISP and some other sites) was something like AltaVista, Yahoo, InfoSeek, with

I think those are great questions to ask actually, my only real answer here is that, one should be very aware of the fact that this current stage is temporary (both for my sanity, as well as for a perspective of cherishing it). As others ha

Bed time used to be 8:30pm but a few weeks ago she just turned the age where she absolutely needed someone to be beside her until she falls asleep. All hell breaks loose if we don't, and I've thought about implementing cry-it-out

The thing is for many other people it's not about enjoying work or not. I enjoy my job a lot, it's the best one I've had in the past decade. I also have a toddler. After I finish work promptly at 5 (sometimes before, and I wo

I've dabbled with reveal-md a bit and I like it, but I really want to love it more. I found that, even as a programmer, presentation slides is one of those things that I just wish I'm using a WYSIWYG GUI editor to create. I rememb

I have a hobby project where I have two different kinds of IDs and I have to maintain lookups of one type of ID to another and vice versa. It's a web socket server with no need for a persistent data store. Rather than maintaining two s

Probably depends on where you work? I've worked in startups for most of my career (15 years) and I find the GP's comment more true. 2 companies I've worked for no longer exist (including my own startup), and 1 company I worke

I don't install the LinkedIn mobile app and I disable all notification emails on my LinkedIn account. This works quite well to be honest. They can send a whole bunch of notifications (I see them every time I log in) but I'm not bo

I love the idea! When I tried the official demo, the thing that I immediately noticed is the jagged scrolling movement of the screen when I move around. I understand the pixel art style (I love it btw) and that the map is actually discrete

A startup I've worked for in the past had one of the smartest cofounder/CTOs I've ever worked with. He was also arrogant as heck. The engineering team inherited his arrogance and it was quite an insufferable place to work. I

Wouldn't most companies who are in the shoes of company A in this example, find some excuse to lay off the employee in question when the person applies for this arrangement? Or do you mean the employee would do this in secret from comp

I once worked at a relatively large game company and I witnessed a game designer do pretty much exactly what you described in the last sentence. It caused a minor havoc with the CEO breathing down our GM's neck. That game designer was

I never actually was diagnosed, though I've taken these online ADHD tests and I've always scored pretty high. Based on my own experience, it would seem I have some level of it as well. I feel like in the past few years, after work

Are they really though? On the topic of boots, let's say we're talking about high-cut hiking boots. I'm not an avid hiker. I do casual hiking sometimes so I just wear regular shoes to those. When I do slightly more strenuous

I'm not sure if it's just me getting old, but I find that if I look at a screen while laying down (especially mobile, because typically that's the only type of screen I can use while laying down) for more than a few minutes,

I'm probably in the minority here and I can't speak for any startup I worked for, but persoonally, I prefer "Sign Up" way more than any of those other variations. It's familiar, I don't ignore it, and I have a

On point #2, as a relatively new parent of only 2 years, I've both gotten a new appreciation of parents as well as understanding of why some families are at a disadvantage. To be quite honest, even as a software engineer who works from

(Answering this with the context of personal, not work, because work is a Macbook and there's no option to choose) For me the only real reason is hardware compatibility. I've had a couple of laptops with some sort of Linux by now

JAM stack isn't just for content sites and depending on your site specifically, it may or may not be a good fit. The API layer is not necessarily just HTTP GET /something/. Let's say you run a small SaaS site, let's

This is how I feel as well, and I can't tell if the author has only ever worked in really bad companies, or doesn't have the maturity to understand his work relationships or how a business runs. The anecdotes in the article also f

I agree with you on PHP doing html templating well, however it just seems not big enough of a strength, if you will. I also had a decade of PHP experience before transitioning to nodejs in the last few years. I first transitioned for my day

In the 90s I bought a copy of a small software called 3D Font Creator (Fun fact - I was able to find it on Amazon [1] now...) , that did something like this. I used it to create cool little logos for my personal homepage and such. Just a bi

It's a good point but back in March the coronavirus was less understood. We didn't know that they were less likely to spread outdoors. We didn't know if the virus was really airborne or not. We didn't know masks helped b
