While we're at it, could we make it illegal for companies to fill my physical mailbox with garbage? Junk mail is a blight on the planet. It's literally just turning trees into garbage with no intermediary step of added value.

I do volunteer trail maintenance on the Pacific Crest Trail with the PCTA. It's a great way to get outside and do some physical labor for those of us who sit in a cube 40+ hours per week. You also get to see and camp in some of the mos

As always, use something like camelcamelcamel to do price history comparisons for you before buying anything on Prime Day or Cyber Monday (or any other time for that matter).

I'm glad this fad has shifted away from using washed out fonts on white backgrounds since this article was posted in 2012. I am no designer and choosing/judging color palettes is probably my weakest area, but man the whole 'n

We still have an operational CD-i in my parent's house. We played the heck out of it back in the day. We did own Link: The Faces of Evil, but it was insanely difficult as a kid. Even recently when I've popped it in, the controls a

I'll add two things that help me. I have this same issue. I feel depressed about the authoritarian nature of the 9-5 society we've set up. 1. Read about FIRE. Live frugally and save 50% or more of what you make. At that rate, you

Does uBlock Origin actually have any effect on ads or sponsored posts in Facebook? I run ABP and there are still ads all over the place in Facebook. I've taken to reporting every ad I see in my Timeline as spam.

I say this as someone who doesn't own a car and bikes or transits everywhere, but you really don't think there's problems with the bikes here? When I drive around Seattle I see these bikes just tossed anywhere. On the sidewal

A much more reasonable approach that I try to live by is "Commit code every week, most days of the week." Expecting to have a commit every day when you have a full time job, family, and, you know, other stuff to do is not realisti

Am OP of comment, I believe the reasoning is that the quality of MOOCs varies wildly and there is often no way to confirm that a student actually completed the content or how well they did? Another reason could be that the sheer number of M

Sounds like you guys should be hiring self-learners. If someone has taken multiples years of teaching themselves from scratch with no CS degree and no bootcamp attendence, they sound like the lifelong learner you guys are looking for. How o

The advice to include online MOOC courses on your CV runs counter to every piece of advice I've ever received in regards to putting online courses on a CV. I've always been told that that is seen as a red flag and that you might g

For the same reason that The Stepford Wives was a creepy movie? There's a place near my town where they clear cut all the tree off the top of a mountain. Then, they built hundreds of houses and townhouses that all look exactly the same

I usually set a goal to read 20 books every year. They can be any mix of fiction/non-fiction/tech/etc genres. That allows me the flexibility to focus on learning something new in some of my free time or reading for fun in my

Hacktoberfest is great! It's a perfect excuse to dig through a lot of random repos and find something interesting and unrelated to anything I typically do to make a few PRs to.

Same for me. I happen to live in a place with decent enough bus routes. A monthly bus pass is $90. Insurance for the single car my family owns is...$90. So already a bus pass is on point with owning a car and that's just for insurance.

Fair enough, but you have to understand that your chicken operation is the exception and not the rule, right? Factory-farmed chickens do not get to go outside, enjoy the sunshine, and eat bugs. They live in cramped chicken houses devoid of

I haven't tried Chao, I'll have to see if I can find them. I have tried the Daiya cheeses and they're ok if you're using them for a sauce or something or melting them on a pizza. But grabbing a block of the Daiya cheddar
