I created a simple Firefox extension to skip Google’s search result redirect. I was motivated after the redirect page “hung” several times in one day, and I didn’t fully trust some of the existing extensions. https://addons.mozil

This is a lot of fun! Definitely makes me miss my favorite Irish pub (located in the Midwest). Nit: I wish the traditional music cycled between a few different songs. What's provided is pretty repetitive, and is already stuck in my hea

I used this approach as part of a personal learning project. It ended up working very well because I was using Mongo, so I could just use $graphLookup with an index on the next ID. It was definitely fast enough for my purposes, sorting abou

Hello! My team is currently creating microservices written in .NET Core. A lot of my teammates don't commit appsettings in their .NET Core microservices, opting instead to simply commit changes to our docker-compose file. This is fine

Plenty of reasons. The most obvious use that comes to mind is to avert government censorship. Then there are whistleblowers. There are more reasons to desire anonymity than illegal activity. Edit: also, ISPs can sell your browsing informati

Nice tool, I'd love to try it. Is your sign-up broken? It just comes back with an empty red alert.

You're right - in my experience, most programmers have it pretty good. What I've noticed is that stress/overworking comes when the team is pressured for time. As a mental, as opposed to physical laborer, sometimes less is mor

I'm curious how requirements are determined at these huge tech companies. Do the programmers have any weight as to which features are implemented, or are requirements typically handed down from someone else? I'm sure this varies f

The heat has to go somewhere. If your machine is feeling hot, the heat is escaping. Trying to prevent that by using a less conductive material may not end well for your laptop.

I have looked into this in the past and came to the same conclusion. Essentially, the "password" sent to the website is the client-side salted/hashed version of the user's actual password. The server could then salt&#x2F

Do you mean better, faster, _and_ cheaper in a single device? Honestly curious, what do you recommend over Raspberry Pi?

Not hugely significant, but a company I worked for before our unit was purchased used to offer a health program that, among other things, offered 10% off "healthy" foods at Walmart stores. This is a very small perk in comparison b

My advice would be to choose your battles, because you can't win them all. There are many ways to accomplish most tasks and sometimes good enough is good enough. That being said, it's OK to have high standards. I've found mys

I use KBFS and encrypted Git almost every day. I've never needed the identity proofs. The teams/chat features are great but I rarely use those either. Maybe when adoption increases, but until then I'm loving my free 250 GB cl

It's not particularly intellectual, but The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey has definitely changed my life for the better. I wish I had read it years ago.

I frequently find myself encountering this problem when I feel like writing. Ideas to write about would be great - I've never been a great free-writer.

Steer clear from them - as far away as possible. Document important dates such as when/how/why you first came up with the idea, when you began working on it, when the startup approached you, etc. Absolutely do not look at anything

I would pay someone to diversify and invest it for me. Assuming a 6% return rate (on average), the principal would generate approximately $150,000/year in interest. Obviously more if you reinvest some of it. Eventually I would probably
