I see lots of people standing up for good principles. The status quo is trying to cash in on complacency, but IMO it's just a catalyst for good things to come. People that know why they picked RHEL also know why they will be moving on.

Honestly a wave of non-profit software companies would be a fantastic boon for the world. However my current work arrangement is tough to top so for fairly selfish reasons I probably wouldn't consider it for a few more years.

This reminds me of one of the first freelance jobs I was designing a bid for. It was described as a kind of profit sharing app for sports betting. This was ~2014. After a brief conversation with the possible client to get actual requirement

The emissions testing place near me charges over $10 fee for credit cards for renewing your tags, and cash is not accepted! It's outrageous, and the line is out the door to get renewals everyday. The number of government endorsed middl

Like every other server revealing they use Apache or Nginx? Yeah, zero days in software are an issue so it's important to be vigilant for any public deployment, but it's also not something to count against unless the software is n

I just saw a fun YouTube video on this: https://youtu.be/vFNgd3pitAI (at 13m). I don't know how sound their reasons are, but it seems pretty well put together. Basically you'd see the same thing from multiple loca

One thing from the article I don't really understand: why are power companies signing these shutdown deals? Are they not allowed to set quotas or cost tiers that make sense for the limited capacity they have? Why can't we have rea

Install scratch on a desktop or scratch Jr on a tablet. Watch a YouTube video with them making a simple game and implement it together. My kids liked Zoey from Scratch Team channel. We have made a handful of games together and then they kin

Just want to say thank you! Two of my kids are using scratch regularly (8yo and 6yo). We started using the rpi module and I was surprised how easy it was to start banging out pins to control some motors. The fact that they can use it on a d

It would if the government printed money to pay women that were doing aforementioned unpaid work. Or paid in social security credits. It is not an unmeasurable thing, just ignored. And these skills and work do matter, it is just subsidized

Just in the first half of your comment, it reminds me of Diane Coyle's long standing argument that the GDP, and many productivity indexes, are just very sexist and not for any real reason other than our patriarchal government, and econ
