I'm genuinely curious what "excellent online classes" look like, especially for early elementary school. My second grader in Seattle Public Schools isn't learning a thing (except for how to troubleshoot MS Teams).

I found this irritating, too. I had to google LNKD--it's the stock symbol for LinkedIn. Made me feel dumb for not figuring it out from the context.

Right. Rippetoe is very clear that GOMAD is only intended for underweight 19 year-olds who are trying to add mass.

My son won a Clapper in the family's white elephant gift exchange. We hooked it up to our Christmas tree lights, and, I gotta say, the thing is pretty great for that use case--no more reaching through pine needles to reach the plug. An

It is predicted that by 2022, 90% of new apps will feature a name that's a spelling variation of the word dapper.

Yeah, they have deep pockets, but IBM receives more patents every year than any other US company. They probably don't want to see the system reformed.

Wow, I wish more technical books used LaTeX for typesetting like this. Beautiful.

A language doesn't make code automatically reliable, but it can certainly help. Ada can do overflow checking, so choice of language can have an impact on reliability, but the software engineers deliberately disabled some of those che

Redis lets you store and manipulate some basic data structures like linked lists, maps, and sets -- so a value in Redis doesn't necessarily have to be a big, serialized blob (though I bet that a lot of people use it this way, as if it

Yeah, they're back to owing Spring again. I wonder about the future of developer-centric Pivotal products. VMWare already acquired Spring, RabbitMQ, and GemFire back in 2009/2010 and then spun them off into Pivotal. So now that th

This stuff has been out there for a long time, but it's never become popular outside of outside of safety-critical or high-integrity systems. Examples include: Microsoft's C/C++ annotations: https://docs.microsoft.

I just looked up the Domino joiner. It looks amazing, but good lord, it's $1500 after you add in the different sized cutters.

Privacy Badger detected 16 potential trackers, and uBlock stopped requests to 13 out of 30 domains the page tried to connect to. It's not usatoday.com levels of absurdity, but it's getting there.

Great analysis, thank you. I think their sales team is going to be in for a long, hard slog. Yes, Redis is popular right now, but the middleware space gets harder every year. Cloud providers slurp up the easy, low-hanging fruit ("click

I wonder what VCs expect of Redis Labs now that they've raised a total of $146M. Let's say the VCs are shooting for a 10x return... does that mean everyone's expecting a sale/IPO for $1.5B (with revenues of maybe $25M&#x

I'm interested in the http://seastar.io/ networking library that the Scylla guys built. Looks like it runs on DPDK and might be a nice way to do user mode networking. Anyone tried using it in other projects?

It's more databasey. Airtable is to Sheets the same way that MS Access is to Excel... for example, you can do many-to-many relationships between tables using junction tables.

I'd be surprised if Azure Stack sees big adoption any time soon; they aren't just letting you run some Azure services on existing hardware... the way they're doing it is to really take the "cloud in my datacenter" c

Yes, very helpful, thank you! I'd like to see methods like this go mainstream. The prevalent view these days seems to be that software construction begins and ends with unit tests... I don't know how Uncle Bob and his ilk managed
