It's a big feedback loop. You go to college, you get a degree, you become a middle manager or administrator of some type, you go work at a university since you didn't learn the skills to actually do anything. On a serious note, I

I'm genuinely puzzled why the lie was needed. They do some shadow work and build an in-house solution to replace a vendor. I get that. But why lie after it's done? Why not "Uhh, hey boss, we're already done."

It's my favorite cook book. I use it heavily. I pull recipes out of it to bring to parties and community events. I always get rave reviews and a million questions. The funny thing is I'm an American feeding (mostly) Americans.

I used to travel a lot. I limited myself to one backpack. A lot easier to pack a small keyboard. Since I used vim and tmux for years I was already used to modifier keys. That and I prefer the modifier key approach, you move and contort y

I'm tired of viewing taxes as a punishment. Taxes are for funding the government. If you're going to tax someone make sure the money goes to something specific, like keeping tire junk out of waterways. Some people like to drive,

The trick is to set both number, and relative number. You then get line numbers in the side. The line your cursor is on is the absolute line, but above and below them are offsets. Makes jumping up/down lines easy. So the cursor sit

I've tried explaining this feeling to people so many times. Unmoored is a good word. We now live in a place where the locals are warm and welcoming, but I'll never be one of them. My kids are, but I'm just a little different

We've known for all of history that sitting inside for extended periods, allowing yourself to atrophy, not socializing with others, self-indulgence, and neglecting your spiritual and mental health are bad for you. I get why people stud

I'll add one more 5. Once you find a band you like, pull their tour dates. See who they're opening for or who their openers are.

I tell my children to do whatever they want. But I also tell them they'll always have programming skills in their back pocket should they ever need to finance their passions.

Me too. I was stuck underwater in a creek, tumbling end over end for multiple minutes, fighting for dear life and the only coherent thought in my head is "Fuck, I'm going to be that guy in the newspaper."
