My 8 year old hates Fortnite because that's the only game YouTubers want to talk about anymore. He, too, is obsessed with Minecraft and the number of videos out in recent months has definitely dwindled.

I never actually did it, but I was around the same age when I read about this on TOTSE ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TOTSE ) back in 2000-2001.

A few years back at a startup event I learned about SwineTech ( https://swinetechnologies.com ) as they're Iowa-based (as am I). Tech is everywhere, even in super-niche industries.

I second mynoise.net -- Their tone generators sound significantly better than any others I've used. My personal favorite is their "Binaural Harmonics" tones: http://mynoise.net/NoiseMachines/pureBinauralB

I don't know if Apple changed the shape for AirPods (they look very similar to the EarPods) but the AirPods stay in my ears so much better, it's night and day. I've been attributing it to the weight/tug of the cable.

On a brand-new project, I agree wholeheartedly. To do otherwise is to miss half the benefit, in my opinion. However, those of us that are in love with TypeScript often want to refactor existing JS into TS, where allowing implicit `any` and

For me it isn't even this complicated. I just don't want to have to manage OS/MySQL/Postgres version upgrades or worry about having to troubleshoot when things on the server go south. Just give me a database to connect t

I bought an X60 for college in 2006. The only complaint I ever had was the 1024x768 display. No CD-ROM, < 3 lbs. The best keyboard I've ever had in a laptop. I miss that thing. I'm too lazy to build an X62 but I love that it is

I always find it fascinating when someone says they've "only recently found" something that I see even at places like gas stations and liquor stores. There's cheese EVERYWHERE in the midwest US.

Gladly. Blueprint provides all of the "components" and I use Basscss to lay them all out in responsive containers. I use Basscss' grid and flex helper classes to define how my I can create a 3-column responsive layout with so

Do these people have a case? Even if JUUL advertises themselves as a "quit smoking" tool, they did quit "smoking", no? Vaping is not smoking. JUUL is like any other nicotine alternative (e.g. gum) -- has Nicorette been s
