I loved Google poly! It was a great place to find models for A-frame scenes. A-frame is VR basically built in HTML. I really liked it as a teaching tool especially for kids. Like learn HTML elements by finding a bear on Google poly and putt

With the rise of contracting in IT, I think more and more people have crappy insurance. I didn't realize how bad it would be when I started contracting last year. The agency I was at only gave it after 90 days and it was $450 a month f

Wow that must have been difficult. I would personally not homeschool my own kids, but I think it's a good option in certain situations. I'd like to send my own kids to a school, but one that's maybe more a "hippie"

I have a very weird perspective because both my parents worked from home AND homeschooled us. We did a lot of church activities and swim team. We were 0% lonely, in fact I longed to be alone as a kid ;)

When I was about 6 I thought very highly of it. Now that I'm 30, even thinking about it makes me feel a little ill.

This is the first time I've read about a clotting disorder being beneficial for heterozygotes besides sickle cell. I'm curious if other types of these disorders show the same effect (I am a carrier of one myself).

But they do! I have a sweet tooth and some of their stuff is just too sweet for me. It really depends on what part of the country they are in, but Pennsylvania Amish are known for their pies. One of the most famous types, Shoofly Pie, is ba

I was pretty skeptical of CSS-in-JS at first but then I remembered all the times I had to reject pull requests because they didn't use whatever specification the project was using like BEM. CSS-in-JS prevents having to use those (frank

Yeah I always rec Adtech to people who have trouble getting jobs elsewhere. Adtech doesn't care about whiteboarding, if they don't like what you're doing they'll just fire you. I swear I never saw more abrupt firings tha

Having been a member of a union, I've seen unions protect unpopular people, including sexual harassers. I have mixed feelings about this. I do think the harassers deserve to go through a fair process ultimately though. Also see for exa

Yep, engineering was a different college within my university and that's common in many public schools. It was not easy to switch in, they only allocated a few spots a year for it.

Yeah, but no longer, it was very time consuming to care for them all. You have to care for them daily and a lot of them die anyway.

This is one of my fav papers: How (not) to train your spider: successful and unsuccessful methods for studying learning http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/03014223.2015.112... Because it has all the f

Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if they were a bit more intelligent than jumping spiders through it's hard to judge relative intelligence in animals like these. For mantis shrimp color training probably doesn't resemble anything

yeah there are a bunch of factors you have to think about when presenting them with video in experiments. Luckily it's been done enough that there is lots of documentation on the subject http://www.sciencedirect.com/sci

I like how a lot of these are just cubicles. The rest are just private spaces but not enough for every worker, so workers will basically compete for them. I worked in several offices that had the "phone booth" concept and they wer

I'm surprised they didn't mention jumping spiders (Salticidae), which are notable because they are inverts, have the ability to see an unusual number of colors, and unlike the mantis shrimp can be trained on them. Also another

I have an old HTC Inspire (circa 2011) I still use in my kitchen to control a stereo system. I'm shocked anything on it still works. It's probably a terrible security vulnerability I should throw away.

Has anyone tried Grav? Some ex-Drupal people use it.

There is also Meteor, which is almost like a RoR for Node.js. I've used it for work and I personally find it a bit bloated though. For my own projects I mainly use static sites like GatsbyJS and Jekyll, but these are just for plain old

I once had a 100% Alice team (all women too!) and it was awesome until we were forced to work with contractors who were 0% Alice. We offended them, turned out their boss was friends with some higher up at our company, and we got pretty much

I think it's OK, there are plenty of opportunities, but I would not do it if I were young. I would do Silicon Valley, get a "big tech" or startup name on my resume and work on cutting edge projects, and then move to Chicago.

Yeah I'll always be an Alice at heart. And around people I trust. But as you said, it's no longer an Alice world. I was involved in Drupal and they kicked out their own Alice, chx, who was a major contributor.

I agree. I kinda of have a love-hate thing with HTWFAIP. I find it incredibly irritating but also useful? I'm a 3rd gen software engineer and my grandpa and dad were always known for being extremely mean. So I learned a lot bad behavio

I also started teaching coding around the time I read it, mostly to kids, so that has made me more motivated to be nicer. I don't want to be the jerk responsible for some little kid hating to code...

I think so, I have set up some reminders on my computer to remind me to review certain parts of the book I have trouble with. Like not getting into pointless arguments :)
