Single dad here in a small apartment with a 7yo whose school went fully remote. I switched to a reduced-hours contractor status at my day job and went "full-time" on my side project so I can make my own schedule. I do the bulk of

I'd recommend changing the screenshots to show places besides SoCal to avoid distracting folks. I thought at first that the app's name was a play on words with Gen Z and "local," but all of the photos seem to be from Soc

Personally, I have been disappointed in them for years, but folks will finally listen, so I'm talking about it more often. No one has paid me or offered to pay me to do so.

Personally, my method for avoiding being insulted by Facebook has been to not use their website or services for the last five or so years. I was challenging myself to imagine what tactics they might try to discourage others from abandoning

Interestingly, Wikipedia editors also don't seem sure how best to deal with this suppression order. Here's the talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:George_Pell#Rumours_of_co...

Life is more beautiful and nuanced than we can record and share here, and we all struggle to make sense of the bits we can when things are hard. Do you need $100,000 not to starve at the moment, or would slightly less suffice for now?

The craziest part to me was that they wanted to discredit their protestors via both: 1. anti-Semitism (claiming the protestors were working for Soros) 2. anti-anti-Semitism (claiming the protesters hated Jews) I feel like there's an in

I'm excited to see Apache bumped to 2.4.35 with HTTP/2 support. Also, PHP has been bumped from 5.4 to PHP 7.2, which will be extremely nice to have out of the box.

I work two blocks away from where they're constructing the Nashville Yards complex that will house Amazon, and this is a huge disappointment. That location was already in high demand, but according to the Tennesseean (our paper of reco

As an outsider, it strikes me that they were fine with the initial three-month notice period, and are only balking at asking for two more. Asking someone you've already allowed three months to please honor the agreed-upon arrangement s

The religious leaders who tried to teach their followers about their ideas of gods may have been wrong about a lot of things, and right about others, but both can be instructive to research. I believe folks who are offered the responsibilit

Microphone and camera quality is very important for some of my side projects, and professional-grade equipment can add up quickly in price, volume, and weight. I'm not spending $1000 on a phone, I'm spending $1000 on a very small

Thinking of good names may not need to be a core competency for your business to be successful. Either pick a "good enough" name on your own, or hire a freelancer whose business is making up names. If you can't commit to main

It seems volunteer moderation may not scale well at a company this size. When I consider that the logs of these intranet conversations are a legal liability, and moderation actions may cause legal challenges as well, it strikes me that perh
