How many years ago was this? I’m sure Mitchell has grown a lot and matured since then. Just like everybody else. He did something a little mean spirited. Maybe even something he regrets now. I think he deserves a little bit of grace.

It definitely put many things in perspective for me. As a young single guy you look at suburbia, minivans, one click ordering, children's museums, etc. with a bit of skepticism or incredulity. Then once I got married and had kids I cou

It is said that Napoleon did not open his mail for 3 weeks after it arrived. His belief was that most issues would resolve themselves and were therefore unimportant for him to attend to. If you go back and watch the news from 2-3 weeks ago

Having kids in the house is like being in a damn WWI trench with shells exploding over your head constantly. Ok, maybe not that bad, but it's horrible for your ability to get anything meaningful done. And then by the time they hit the

More pork for their cronies and donor class buddies. Much like the pandemic aid such as the PPP I’m sure fractions of a dollar actually make it into anything of use.

I didn’t know death until I watched my old man go. It was horrible. The details still haunt. I’ll never get over it. Never.

I can not stand thievery. And the brazen nature of it is so irksome. The fact that people need a fleet of security cameras and a fake dog to protect their home is ridiculous. These people should be caught and sent off to labor camps for a v

I wish I could get that offer right now. I would take it straight away. That reminds me though. I went through quite a few big layoffs at GE and one of the better ones was when they were offering people 26 weeks of pay plus one week for eac

There have been a number of high profile athletes having questionable performances after going low meat/vegetarian/vegan. Most recently Canelo in his performance against Bivol.

We need a separation of money and state. Desperately. The fact that you can do the bidding of the donor class for years then leave office and immediately get placed in a cushy job is gross.

Maybe I am an outlier, but the few jobs I have had with a ruby codebase have been super fun and relatively easy to pick up. Every project has a learning curve, and I have experienced some pretty bad ones that were not written in Ruby.

The sister in law gave us a blue zones cook book. My wife asked me to look at it and pick two recipes. I couldn’t. I would not want to live to 100 if that was what was on the menu.

This will get flagged to death. But in the meantime, surveys have shown that the right and left have shifted further from the center over the last 20 years. The left has had a much more dramatic swing than the right. I think the left could

News isn’t news anymore. What you get most often is activism, propaganda, and doomsday blackpill bullshit. I don’t need that in my life.

There is a great hubris at play. Man is so foolish.

The transition to “cloud” is often more about the culture and capabilities of a company than the technology. If you have been on some shitty mainframe and a bunch of other technology from the 60s you cannot bank on that carrying you for the

It’s not a bad or unreasonable question, but it is completely ignorant and pollyannish. These are the same HR professionals that let managers submit high or acceptable marks for all employees every year and then wonder why a large number of

Absolutely. I worked at GE for 5 years and their reluctance to performance manage individual contributors was just insane. They will do anything to cut people in ways that are not performance related. VJRP. SERO. Contractor reductions. Site

They can auto generate warning messages on every video even tangentially referencing the c-word for 2 years, but they let this kind of thing slide for years and years.

Absolutely correct. There is a process for writing laws. There is a process for amending the constitution. But instead of building a broad coalition to go and do these things they would rather roll the dice with the judiciary. And when they

The key is to understand the value and importance of what you are suggesting. “Remove this SQL injection.” Vs “consider moving this functionality to the superclass”. One is a must do and not doing it is unacceptable. The other is something

No thanks. If you thought the grift and corruption within national governments was bad, this would put it on steroids. People claim to like democracy, but when they aren’t getting their way they want to rig the system or add yet another lay

In some parts of the country you can easily get and use hard drugs in public and mutilate your genitals as a minor, but no big gulps or juuls.

More nanny state shenanigans from a completely impotent administration. What do you think the headline will be a year or two from now? Kids dying from gray market juul pods? Or perhaps kids are vaping way more to get the same fix? They rece

I think it has more to do with having an adversarial law system. It doesn’t matter what new tool you come up with in the arms race. Your competitor will soon have it as well.

Looks incredible. Seems like it is really tailored to small -medium sized apps or devs doing client work. How do you deal with objections around scaling out and lock in? I am loving the renaissance of “boring” tech stacks.

These people are pampered brats. Try being forced to document all your time and projects in Rally or Version1. You will beg to get Jira back. Software “engineers” are such divas. “I don’t play other people’s song.” As if they are some kind

It honestly doesn’t matter if you primarily use your webcam for zoom, teams, etc. you could have an 8k cinema grade camera and the image other people will see is still compressed to death dogshit.
