Soundcloud is still the place for finding EDM in general. The community sure has slowed down, especially with spotify being such a huge force in the music world, but I still find tons of great content there. Bonus, you don't have the

I can't disagree with this more. Good commit messages are just so, so, so important. Especially when I'm triaging an issue and have no other context than the code itself. I want to know not the _what_ which the code gives me, b

I'd think that right now blackhat is having the time of their life as more and more holes are opened up to allow for things like remote work as unfortunate as that is.

Suggestion: Go to meetups (tech or otherwise) and other social activities. I've found this to be the best way to meet people who have a shared interest and are looking to be social. I've been remote for most of my career and thi

My comment wasn't meant to alienate blind people, far from it. To elaborate further, being able to see someone outside a meeting (since this is where most interaction really occur when remote) means things like small talk occur and yo

So one thing that isn't mentioned in this article that I think is incredibly important is making sure you maintain a social life outside of work. When working at an office you tend to spend time with your coworkers outside of work and

The in face meeting is actually incredibly important. I've been remote for 7 years and it is just so important to put a "face" to a person. You get to bond on a personal level that is really hard to do remotely, even if you

No, not really. One theory is that eventually things will slow and then collapse again. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Crunch Taken to the extreme, this expansion and collapse has been happening over and over again

This is bad advice because each and every pro listed when you're married is also a pro when not married. So I guess I don't get it. Also, there are a million ways to meet people and from my experience meeting people through work

To be honest, you're not yet at the scale where this much of a concern. You're either "flat" and about to need to put in structure or you already have it. If you already have the structure in place, then you have at mo

I have a late 2016 Razer Blade Stealth and I love. I was able to install Ubuntu without issue and the machine works flawlessly. At the time it was easily the best 13" machine on the market and I wouldn't doubt still is.

There are not a lot of controls that work really well. And a lot of the controls that do exist were fought for tooth and nail. That is the entire point of the book. :) For example, the locks in place at each Titan II facility all had exac

I'd be curious what your takeaway is from the book. At one point one of the regulators in the Safety Commission stopped receiving reports about accidents because the Air Force knew that this would be used as ammunition to fix the Titan

This can't possibly be the case. Nerd culture has spread and with it all things nerdy. Look at the growth of GenCon for one example of how explosive this has been. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gen_Con#Timeline Bo

While I agree with the sentiment, it does nothing to account for all the other drivers on the road. I don't really see how this is fair to the bus driver.
