I highly recommend this book: Sky High!: A Soaring History of Aviation especially for those with children as a fun illustrated history of the individuals and their contributions to making modern aviation possible today. Suffice to say and a

This article largely misses the cargo culty things developers do in practice - like massively overcomplicating their infrastructure using kubernetes and message busses when they've no real need. There is a large Venn space here with RD

My best friend's son died at the hands of a negligent daycare, he escaped his crib, knocked a stroller over on to himself which wasn't supposed to be there, and suffocated to death. My friend called me that night to tell me. It&#x

Same, that'd be my worry. I'd rather have my state or municipality implement this than choose some terrible Sysco style vendor and just feed them slop

Sure, yes, I had meant in the US. I know it's possible, we just tend to make these things impossible via incompetent implementation.

I'm in the market for a watch. Turned 41, my weight has slowly crept up despite working out 4-5 times a week - not too bad, like not obese. My cholesterol is bad partially due to genetics but mostly due to diet. I also have a mild slee

Unfortunately for Rubyists (myself included) those are huge benefits though nowadays. It's much easier to find Python developers. Having an out-of-the-box admin interface means business people can operationalize and workaround short co

That's curious to me honestly. I really prefer the ergonomics of Django's ORM compared to when I've had to use SQLAlchemy+Alembic in the past. I find alembic incredibly confusing and poorly documented. Not that documentation

Don’t care. One or the other not those figure way a way to make it work. I’m furious when I pay for add free and I still am subject to ads.

> we can talk our way out of it Yup, we sure can, but we have to be willing to talk and need to dispense with the notion that "people shouldn't discuss politics". I firmly believe the opposite, we should very much discuss

The most valuable process I’ve ever instituted as a manager is design review. Absolutely hammering a design has proven to me to be the best way to ensure people have absolute clarity on the end state and have thought through the flow, copy

We have regulations on emissions. We ban 2 stroke engines. We have congestion pricing to prevent cars from coming in cities. We ban lead from fuel. We try to invest in public transportation. We build more bike lanes. We use electric vehicle
