I decided a while ago that I wouldn't study for interviews, and it's served me well. I either know enough to get the job or I don't. Convoluted interviews where I fell on my face weren't necessarily always jobs I woul

I look forward to the GitHub project that makes a one-click to deploy to Heroku your own "bank" using this. :) I haven't dug into their terms, but is there any reason you couldn't create effectively a bank of one custome

I may be presuming too much, but it sounds like perhaps you less need to learn to program and more need to learn to communicate with one another around technical topics. It's likely that (again, presuming here) if this is your first t

I agree, hence why I live on https://i.reddit.com on mobile. It lacks some of the features of the new UI, but I don't use those anyhow since I just lurk/read.

Oh, totally. I have a Glowforge that was about $4k I think, and we're a member of a makerspace that has like a $40k laser cutter we use. But we've easily re-couped that through my stuff, my wife's business doing laser cut&#

It was originally started so we could integrate Asciidoc parsing into GitHub's codebase without shelling out to Python (A good friend worked on Asciidoctor and I wrote another parser for reStructuredText around the same time that we ne

I use it with my Apple charger without issue, and I've done that since I got it quite a while ago. While I don't doubt your experience, it sounds like perhaps your situation isn't quite universal. Defective Switch hardware

Really? I find it to be a game changer for me. The fact that my laptop, Switch, iPad, and several other devices can all share a charge has made my life much easier. I can just sprinkle a few of them throughout the house and never be witho

It doesn't surprise me at all, actually. These idiots brag about this to friends constantly and try to make new connections inside the companies to exploit. I have a very short Twitter that people try to take over constantly, and by

Setting up and managing keys, spinning up new repos, etc. would suck up an inordinate amount of time. This was especially true when I worked at consultancies. Blocking developer work with “Sorry gotta wait on Todd to add you to the server

I think this is going to end up being one of the coolest additions to the parks in recent years. If you haven't seen, they're applying this at Disneyland in the Avengers Campus area to have a "live action" Spiderman fly
