   One of the simplest and most common mods to off-road vehicles is called a tire mousse. It's basically foam or rubber that replaces the inflatable tube. The benefits are never getting a flat, and not having to carry a spare tube, tools,

   This is my advice to anyone learning to code or learning a new tool. If you cannot build something that interests you, you're going to have a hard time building something for a paycheck.

   In many situations, you don't have to look at the touchbar to know what the keys are. For example, when using terminal, vim / ide emulation, I know left is Esc key. It does make spamming Esc feel less weird to me.

   He uses "do do" instead of "to do" which is a more obvious typo. Linus usually comes across as borderline arrogant, and deservedly so, but not necessarily perfect in his writing. I think it's an effective strategy t

   I'd love to see more specific studies around video game use. There's just so many variables to account for. How does duration, solo/team play, or player skill (win/loss rate) affect the findings? In my experience, there&

   You are right, the pay is insanely low for the complexity of the task being asked. In my experience, state governments are quickly warming up to paying for this kind of specific help. Although, most plans involve sunsetting the system for m

   I love when candidates go on sort of relevant tangents. It shows they've actually done the work and formed opinions about it. Pros and cons, maintenance and growth, missteps and how they've been burned, competing or preferred sol

   People do get promoted and paid for simplifying and refactoring code. Heck, I got promoted and am currently being paid to do just that. It often involves adding value in other ways simultaneously, but what you said is just false.

   I've maintained mac mini farms and it is both time consuming and expensive. If it were reasonable to setup and maintain Macs for devops, these offerings probably wouldn't exist.

    If Guitar Center hadn't tarnished their service reputation those retail stores would at least have maintained that stream of revenue. Hobbies of all kinds seem to be booming with an influx of beginners who actually need these services.

    Sure, but the difficulty of making a passable fake video versus entering some magic numbers is vastly different.

    This is an unusual measurement which is unexplained by current models. This chart [0] helps show why and when waves are not superficial to only surface of the ocean. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microseism#/me

    Thanks, you're probably right that it's not only depth being a factor in this. I think we both over-simplified as these are logarithmic ratios, not linear. On to speculation: the interaction between the waves and the ocean floor m

    Never heard of this, so I had to do some digging. My money is on this being an ocean wave phenomenon. The Gulf of Guinea, specifically the Bight of Bonny, is up to ~20,000ft deep. Average ocean waves have a period less than 15s and the aver

    So if someone is informed on a topic they have a kind of societal obligation to post? By not posting, it allows those who may be less experienced or outright trolls to steer the discussion towards irrelevance. I like the idea, but not sure

    1. If you think the public transit in California sucks, at least it exists. 2. There are many jobs available that don't allow the lifestyle freedoms of gig work (see the trucking industry, which as it turns out also has a long reputati

    I've used https://count.ly/ instead of Google Analytics to gather exception data and business analytics from mobile and web apps. Relatively cheap for decent scale and they're very nice and helpful.

    I'm under the impression anything done outside the app doesn't really fall under App Review territory. Embedding a UIWebView is considered in-app, and an embedded SFSafariViewController has slightly different rules.

    I don't think that's entirely true. Apps can use SMS or open the OS browser to accept payments and not be in direct violation of the guidelines.

    Mostly agreed, but your section a goes too high. 400$ per month can't just be quietly expensed in most orgs I've worked for. I'd say max $50-$100 per month.

    I've always been this kind of person, opinionated but backed by reasons, and most people find it abrasive. There's nothing I like more than having someone change my opinion, because that means they taught me something. The catch i

    Can you prove any options are "best"? If not, then marketing that way is dishonest at best.

    Now that's some CS I wasn't even aware of! Although, I'm confused why those process clocking topics are considered specific to distributed systems and not computation in general.

    Yep late 2013 MacBook Pro: Catalina brought some security annoyances but mostly pain-free. IMO this computer is the epitome of function and form; I'm worried nothing will truly replace it when that time comes.
