I am at a weird spot right now, where I have teenagers who want to play games that are on Windows, but am not wanting to do that through emulation like Parallels. But I am also not willing to purchase a Windows machine as my primary machine

I am the first in my family to graduate from college. I grew up incredibly poor. It was presented as THE way out of poverty growing up. I work in a field completely unrelated to my degree. My university degree didn't help my earning po

It's been between 65 - 67 when I wake up at around 6am. I'll be posting a video soon with more in-depth data. At night it has been getting to 17° outside, with it getting in the mid to high 30s during the day. But we have been hov

We are going to see how long it can sustain the temperatures. They are not repairing the mini-split heater until Friday. But it's been amazing how performant it has been without having the heater on despite it staying so cold. We haven

I very happily pay Strava for their premium features. I love their community and software.

What I have loved about this iteration of the idea is that I often don't solve the problem. That makes it more fun to me. I like the difficult level.

I understand Apple's decision to do this. They want to stick it to Epic. Completely understandable desire on Apple's part. But, sadly, Apple is letting their desire to get vengeance outweigh the interests of their users in having

I would gladly pay $200/month more for an apartment that enables me to live in a walking community without so much space being taken up by parking. Not sure if Culdesac will fulfill that goal, but "you don't even get a parkin

For those who are interested in what makes a great town, I recommend two books: Happy City by Charles Montgomery, and Strong Towns by Charles Marohn. Both were red pill/blue pill books for me on what makes a great city. When my wife an

I think this is a great response. It isn't creating upward mobility, but it is creating flexibility for those who want to pursue it, and improving previous service jobs. We can separately try to figure out how to create more upward mob

In Fort Collins there is NextLight broadband that is a municipal service. I am in southern Denver and have Comcast. I would far prefer NextLight. Competition, regardless of private or public, makes things better. Anyone advocating for less

Elixir's tooling is so good. The documentation is readable by a human, you can jump in and get information at any time. They focus on the developer experience, and it's one of the most compelling reasons why I love the language&#x

I was looking at the top image in this article and thinking "that'd be even more amazing if all those cars were kicked off that street and it was more pedestrianized." And in your comment you talk about the noise from the car

I have a Tesla and think Autopilot is neat. But I never rely on it, because it is blatantly not safe enough to be relied upon.

Rdio was amazing. I use Apple Music now (family plan) but I would pay probably $25/month to have Rdio back. Rdio had the best features for following other people who had similar interests to me and seeing what they were currently liste

My perspective on this is just about the opposite. The watch is incredibly helpful, and isn't a distraction like my phone is. I have been wearing my watch and it has enabled me to leave my phone behind more often. It's been a way

I love what Lambda School is doing. I was part of the first cohort of the first ever coding bootcamp. It felt so scary to move to Chicago to participate, but it seemed so promising. It has worked out so well for myself and my family, but I

Our company used Lever previously and switched to Greenhouse. I used both tools and far prefer Greenhouse. Lever's UI was so difficult to use. I wouldn't say Greenhouse is great software, but it is certainly preferable to Lever, i

I think Uber's proposed advantage here, the relationship with the driver, is the easiest part of this equation to replace. After the recent Uber debacles I finally switched to Lyft. The switch took me about 4 minutes and has been absol

Agreed. In my couple years at GitHub side projects have been encouraged, not discouraged. It's been incredibly refreshing. Interestingly enough, I have worked on side projects the least at GitHub because I really enjoy my employment no

I think I have personally ran three or four red lights or stop signs accidentally in my 18 years or so of driving. The fact that a self-driving car running a red light makes the news is exciting to me. We will be much safer with computers d
