I'm no tax lawyer or guru, but let's say usage is 25% bedroom and 75% principal office; you can take 75% of the square footage of the room against your total home square footage as the number for doing the deduction. Easiest is to

I write solely in markdown and use pandoc with other tools to generate the best file-type for the audience. Business folks get .doc or .pdf. For technical folks it varies on the situation: anything from the raw markdown, to LaTeX styled pdf

I'd argue that many people aren't being paid enough to participate in the society they were born into. Therefore taking on debt for daily expenses is involuntary.

I'm beginning to think this kind of memory is hugely important for programming. It sounds counter-intuitive because devs work with text, but maintaining a visual representation of any project, current and future state, as well as the v

I bought a GoPro Hero something for a long remote hiking trip. The durability and self-steadying was just amazing. Using the app to take selfies or wide shots of scenery was shockingly flawless. Then, I started mounting it to my dirt bike h

GoPros are a fad or niche market, only because they market it that way. Even if you're not doing anything "extreme" it's really nice to have a running video of even the most mundane canoeing trip just to get still pictur

My guess is non-deterministic is not the correct word. More like determined by factors not disclosed to the user. Social media does this as a feature. There must be a line though. I certainly wouldn't want laws in my country to force W

Not sure why, but the thought of most people not caring how their cars, or tech, or anything works made me quite sad. I think you're correct, but I'm constantly considering and reconsidering how all the things around us work, are

Just expand and define the words, and don't let your knowledge about how the tech works block your ability to reason. Autopilot -> Automatic Pilot. Automatic: working by itself with little or no direct human control. Pilot: one qual

You are not wrong. I've had this discussion with other devs but it always ends in a crypto rant of some kind.

I don't know flutter because I don't know Dart. I don't fully understand this opinion. Learning "new" things can be difficult, but there's little "new" in dart compared to other languages. Maybe you

Totally agree with your 3 and 4. I've had, to my surprise, the most success with Flutter. (I've built multiple React web apps and spent way longer attempting React Native.)

I thought the cool thing to do was declare React Native dead for your org, not the new hotness?!? I try to re-evaluate my opinion of the mobile ecosystem monthly, and would love to know how people agree / disagree with my rankings: 1.

I made https://hugeystudios.com mostly to learn some web tech, (AWS & Docker), try out Swift Vapor, and host mando static content for mobile apps. It's not great, but it's mine!

I struggle with this too. I think it's people applying the "jack of all trades, master of none" saying too far or too literally. To be a truly successful (backend, frontend, web, mobile, crypto, etc...) developer, it is a req

If you know an area well, you almost always can find at least slight improvements to the Google Maps route. When I know there's a closure or accident, I often look at Google Maps to figure out which way it's recommending and inten

Great idea IMO and wouldn't be difficult to whip up - fighting urge to add to this my native iOS projects right now...

While I agree somewhat, most decent officers will follow up if you give them enough info and make a point to keep updating them. We got a stolen phone back this way by being the "detective" and having the officers knock on candida

I'd argue the best individual contributors don't have the skills to be the best mentors or managers. These skills can be learned only by sacrificing IC value, maybe just temporarily. It seems this industry is getting better at rea

You're right, I remember, not fondly, parsing that XML for mobile.

You are conflating effective driving habits with actual driving habits. I'd say less than 5% of drivers in the states properly brake before curves and accelerate through. Hell, I'd be surprised if the model trained after human beh

I've developed native iOS and Android apps professionally since 2012 and I always found their docs to be a mix of amazing - https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guideline... , and fairly useless - ht

There are a few decent case studies around this move, and I still find it fascinating. They can say they did it for their values, but immediate revenue loss for values doesn't happen all that often. If it were truly for values, I'

If they cared about children they'd be putting money and effort into the education system instead of surveillance. Napkin math - It costs the feds roughly $1000 per child per year for school, and the NSA about $250,000 per employee per

Agreed. When I write an email, I usually address the topic generically, then list options or reasons or whatever, then give a takeaway or action item. Most people seem to only read the topic statement. Not sure if I have lazy coworkers or I

I completely agree. One cannot pass fair laws on topics one doesn't understand. It's even worse if understanding is based on input from a consultant or lobbyist! There aren't many reasons an engineer would want to jump into t

I couldn't agree more. Talk is cheap. Take that that extra responsibility on and prove to everyone, including yourself, that you're capable. Use the experience and knowledge as leverage with your current employer or a new one. It&

Completely agree with the ease of this setup as it's been my goto for roughly a year. Put Docker on your VM / instance, make a project with a docker-compose that just ties one or many services together with traefik as the reverse
