Personally like Linux a lot. It is worth it for the first-class docker support. James Turnbull had an article reviewing the XPS 13 last year. It is what I would recommend: https://www.kartar.net/2018/03/dell-xps-13

People moan on and on about OKRs, but I am a developer and I honestly like them. Personally: I do not resent that management wants to know what I am up to. And it is helpful for me to be working on projects in such a way that I understand t

If you have never read a book about the abuses by the FBI revealed by the COINTELPRO papers, I highly recommend you pick one up as soon as you can. CONTELPRO is the perfect example of why saying "I have nothing to fear from the police

Dwarf Fortress is a popular game, but it's progress has been stalled for years. One of its big issues is performance. For an ascii game. If anything, it is an example of how saying "Eh, screw it." can stall your progress
