I'm glad info from China is filtering over onto the rest of the internet. So much vital information, especially about how to keep safe as an individual, is only available on WeChat in Mandarin.

I've been working from home the last couple days in Manhattan, and it's pretty depressing. My apartment is small, there's nobody around since my wife still has to go into the office. And I feel totally out of the loop even

For me, the prices can vary widely depending on what store you shop at. A can of Classico spaghetti sauce at my local store is $3.50. But the same can, volume, and flavor on Amazon is $1.99.

I experimented with Bitwarden for a little while, but it didn't have a good method for changing passwords. I ended up switching back to LastPass. But, I'm pretty frustrated with their buggy iOS app.

Daily standup, weekly Kanban board review, weekly review of PR's, twice per month team retro. And that's about it. And it's a big company too.

I had no idea IncrediMail was still around. I used it in the early 2000s before I discovered Thunderbird. The sound effects and animations were fun until they got annoying.

I started in 2008. People weren't changing jobs very often. You didn't see signing bonuses, or having multiple offers from top companies. It was like having a normal job. There really wasn't bootcamps or a crazy startup c

Tolkein originally had the "tall, beautiful, elder people" race to be fairies in his earlier stories. The elves in The Hobbit were very different from what they ended up being in Lord of the Rings. They were more mischievous and

Masks aren't really an individual thing that will keep you safe if only you wear it, but it helps if you look at a population that wears masks vs doesn't wear masks. If masks are worn by a certain percentage of the population, it

I've worked on projects with a more iterative pipe and filters approach, and it can lead to situations where it's difficult to maintain or test anything. The problem that frequently occurs is that there's a new configuration

You can get a lot done if you don't care who gets the credit for it. The WHO wants to stop the spread of the virus. If buttering up China and praising them in public gets this done, then so be it.

I live in a 1 bathroom apartment with my wife. Even with no kids, it's still tough. The marginal benefit of adding 1 more bathroom is enormous, kind of like a dual core vs single core processor.

I've had it linked to my accounts since 2011, and it's great to have such a rich history to search through. Sure it's not the greatest, but it's miles ahead of the bank's interfaces for searching through transactio

Rust using the LLVM toolchain is a real plus, which Clang also uses in the C++ world. The Clang and Rust compilers are basically frontends to LLVM, and any language that compiles using LLVM is translated to IR (intermediate representation)

I switched over to Firefox about 6 months ago, and I'm surprised by how much I love it. It's great to be able to have separate home and work accounts while still being logged into the same gmail account. Plus, there's certa

You can't outrun a bad diet. Sure we can plant a ton of trees to recapture carbon, but we also need to cut down emissions.

This really goes to show that if you're buying something for the potential of it, you're not always guaranteed to be an early adopter of a hot new trend or technology. Sometimes you are, but not always. You have to love what you

There's some really nice bike riding areas around Manhattan. The Hudson River Greenway is a continuous car-free bike route that goes all along the Hudson River. On the New Jersey of the Hudson River, there's also a beautiful wal

It's such a good game, I highly recommend it. The level design, the music, and the creative names of all the rooms you visit.

I own an Oculus Quest, and it's not bad. But it does take up too much room to play, it's isolating, there's not enough content yet besides glorified tech demos, and both the hardware and the games are too expensive.

That's the key reason. It's the same reason why Microsoft Teams is becoming popular. Because it's included in support packages that businesses already have from using Office 365, or the business already has a relationship w

I keep trying Chrome out every so often, but there's little usability issues that keep bringing me back to Firefox. For example, Chrome never wants to bring me to the correct sites when you start typing letters. It's always a si

Remote work will continue to rise in popularity. Many large companies already have policies of every meeting having a video conference link. And there's pressure for people to move out of high cost of living areas like San Francisco

YouTube TV is nice, but is missing all the Viacom cable channels that are on the other streaming services (Comedy Central, MTV, etc).

It's all a holdover from assembly-line factory jobs. You need to start at a specific time and work hard the whole shift. If you're 3 minutes late, the line is delayed by 3 minutes. Software development is a very different prof
