I work in an enterprise where we are transitioning thousand-plus apps from data centers to the cloud. It can be reduced to this, and we can also do a lot of what we are doing now by moving certain technologies into the DC stack, but if you

This thread, paired with the Google/deprecation thread, feel ironically aligned. Mozilla seems to be deprecating parts of their organization, and Google deprecates products constantly... except for Chrome. Chrome has had a fairly relia

Personally, not sure I would trust my project, and my time and effort to software written by someone who won't see the value of adding a screenshot to their software's site. It was started in 2009, and for some reason.. no screens

I'm writing a book with three levels out output, think "simple" then "medium" then "advanced". Writing it in sections and assembling the sections for rendering allows me to also export for multiple targets

Seems to me the biggest hurdle to moving/finding customers via the Google/Android platform is that they won't spend money over there. The feature/capability parity between the platforms means they are, in fact, both cap

There are a handful of decent "adsense/manage your own ads" and "add adsense to your site" plugins, but the self-service model wasn't rich with options. The few I did start testing had bumpy roads for implement

I don't read the article as necessarily defending the practice -- it talks about the mores of the time and why this might have been happening with more frequency for a spell. The article also notes that the practice dissipated as daily

I've been reviewing self-service ad sales & serving plugins for Wordpress sites and my conclusion would be: no, there isn't.

Not necessarily true for this case. I had a problem with a [very well known US-based bank] credit card where a re-curring monthly charge that I wanted stopped.. wouldn't be stopped by the bank because I had authorized the recurring cha

My Bay Area job is letting me WFH permanently, and I'm looking to move to an adjacent area but the rental market is empty, and housing sales seem... targeted to SF expats.

If marketing departments do the work to direct their efforts and funds to other advertising channels, they may keep using them even after the virtue signaling -- or earnest signaling -- expires. Continuity in marketing metrics can also be i

I feel like I can understand it (GPT-3 generated text) better than meme-oriented Reddit callback threads. Which may have more to do with burying meaning more than explicating it.

What's the relationship here between EFI, mutual funds, and "margin account/higher expense ratio"? Would anyone be willing to explain this comment thread to a newbie?

I'm not so sure.. I'm an introvert and a loner, so I often feel a bias against these kind of assertions. I want to be able to continue being a loner, feel good about it, exhibit resilience and self-reliance in a way that leaves me

I like your post in that it takes "forgiving" and makes it a practice. I often think I'm aligned with something only to realize I'm telling myself I'm aligned (that I "know"), but I haven't done any

My ex- asks me for $$ to cover a child expense and in Apple Cash she can have it a few seconds later, transferred right in Messages. Banks can do this, and they have integrations with Zelle and Venmo, but it isn’t as seamless, not by a mile

Surely we're all seeing this on Zoom calls these days? People sharing their desktop/app/window, then breaking out of that sharing selection to bring something else up, while they're talking.. and searching, and things ar

I check my mail about once/week, but I have packages directed to an Amazon hub. It was suggested many times over the years that the USPS reduce delivery to cut costs, and that didn't seem like a bad idea, but I'd suggest that

I use mine to listen to Radio Paradise and to have it tell me when my packages arrive at the Hub. Which is usually a couple of hours late these days, so I just rely on the email it sends earlier. So I use it just for the Radio Paradise.

I originally held that David Lynch's film "Mulholland Drive" used all the conventional motifs of a horror film to construct a whole that was less than, and yet too much more than a cohesive horror story. It wasn't comple

I was looking at trading platforms lately, and noticed "robo-trading", but don't see it as part of the discussion here. Is it a reasonable alternative to trading on your own?

What I really don't understand about OneNote is the default to a white-board-like free form placement mode for text blocks. If you move it a little, accidentally, it's not aligned the same as the other notes. This really put me
