For us, private is too expensive and public has become an indoctrination mill instead of an institution focused on teaching a kid the fundamentals, so it's probably going to be home schooling or moving to another country where we can a

Google was an investor in Magic Heap(Leap). One of the early developers for Google was an angel investor in it and those connections lead to the Google investment, among others. Magic Leap just has a down round where they raised 500 million

As an Android developer and early Glass explorer it pains me to say that I agree with a lot of the comments here. I was having a conversation with someone connected to the upper execs there one time who explained this to me. They said that

I know that this is meant more towards design for digital screens, but I recently learned something interesting about black and gray tints when I was looking for colors to repaint some rooms in my house and ran across full spectrum colors.

I knew some of the people involved in that during that time. It was political that, just like everything else in the culture wars, was turned into personal.

There is a lot to wade through with this blog post. But "pushing us to get better as people" is a VERY subjective statement. For example, the author is one of the people who started the Greater Than Code podcast. Some of the regul

There are always judgement calls to be made. Some of this is throwing out the baby with the bathwater. You don't want to be so rigid that you can't violate the rules for good reason. Also, refactoring someones code is not necessar

This is why I prefer Rumble. Given how woke politically Google has become it is no longer a platform I want to support. Whenever information is censored I am naturally suspicious around the motivations. Censorship also gives the censored op

A car that sells new for the price of the Chery is not going to have good safety measures and will be a death trap in an accident. Cars today can last a long time if you take care of them. New they cost a lot, but after about 10 years most

Basically Mailchimp did nothing to enrich the Atlanta startup community with a bunch of people making nice exits via stocks etc.. Instead it is another example of the Atlanta startup sharecropping model. A few years ago a reporter for the A

Beavis and Butthead was the best show ever! It will be interesting to see if they are able to maintain their humor with the current PC cancel culture on the reboot.

Brought to you by the same government that had a leader who tried justifying spending public funds on a pool for his personal house as a "fire pool". I love SA, but their oversight overall on things like this is non-existent.

I have yet to see an effective version of these "wonder" tools actually work in practice. That said, they make great snake oil for testing automation teams that often end up doing manual testing because the promises of the "e

The white elephant in the room here is section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. If that was to be repealed things like the possibility of being liable for defamation on the site would level the playing field. The way it currently is,

Software is always going to have mistakes and there is always going to be a better way to do things. That said, there are best practices that help to reduce the cost of those inevitabilities. Technical debt is when people throw those best p

I'd be fine with this if they would strip companies like this from having section 230 protections and allowed anybody to sue for liable for anything on their platform. The banning for conduct off the platform should be seen for what it

That's because the CEO's, CTO's etc don't actually care about the principals they claim they support. It is all about power and bending the words to fit their narrative. Basically if their side loots, riots, burns down c

This is laughable. Twitter banned the president of the United States of America. They are not a neutral platform and should be stripped of their section 230 exemptions. They are the last group that should be trying to be the "arbiter o

They are, but in recent years the wealthy have ginned up the race wars to get everybody fighting and distract from the real issue of income disparity which continues to get wider in the US.
