My oldest daughter's first real programming project in school was a Mondrian style art generator. I was so proud of her that I wrapped it up as a CGI and put it on the kids web site. Too bad her excitement for her project was exactly 0

My 18-year-old son still packs up his big ass computer and monitor and spends the weekend gaming at his friends house. They don't call it a LAN party but at the end of the day they are still having a lot of fun and socializing with peo

I think you are correct about the company getting product focused and that will eventually be great for the product. On the other hand this feels like a Digg->Reddit moment.

If he is trying to cut staff, it would be easier to just institute a drug policy and fire everyone who tests positive. That is going to hit about 25% in any company that isn't already doing drug tests.

I have not used network solutions in around ten years but I did like their customer service. They were a high touch company with empowered customer service reps. They will be really helpful getting the password changed.

I only clicked on 15 or so from the areas that I have lived but they were all airports and land fills. That tells me that our personal consumption is a big problem and we as individuals can make a difference. Quick disclaimer though I have

Indeed and many are in long term leases that can be 10 or 20 years and these companies leased (or even built) for growth. They have also invested in building rooms, buying equipment, power and networking. To these guys it is feeling like th

Same here. I am psyched to see DMA mentioned on HN so more folks will be exposed to it.

I started working from home four years ago and I have less ability to step away from my desk now than I ever had working from the office. It got even worse in 2020 after most of the office started working from home. Not to mention that team

I don't know, but this sounds OK to me. Hey you are not working out for me in this position. How about I keep your paycheck rolling in while you find another job?

Depends on your personality and skill set. When I rented I watched the property management company do a shitty job on all of the work they did. They would treat the renters (not their customer but their customer's customer) with pure c

And when your company starts doing that to developers it is time to dust off your resume and start looking for something better. I get it that these companies have real issues and their managers are multiple times smarter than me but I refu

The southern states are doing manufacturing without unions and without dehumanizing anyone. This isn't a binary choice.

That Liu Kang kick where he used both feet and sounded like a chicken was damn near impossible to defeat when your opponent was spamming it. Every now and then I could block and upper cut but mostly I would upper cut and start getting kicke

So lets say you plan to retire in 22 years. An 18-year-old starting college will be 40 in 22 years. I would say you have plenty of time so don't waste it.

Right before my spam call problem got out of hand, I called back a number and it was a backdoor to some community's 911. The 911 operator had her ass on the dashboard demanding to know how I got the number. I felt like a kid in the pri

Over the last couple of months I went from maybe one per day to dozens. I am lucky that my phone's area code is 1200 miles away from where I live so for the most part I can ignore everything from that area code. In addition, I changed

First off, love your user name. When you had an imaginary friend, did you know that they were imaginary? I had toys that I talked to and played out scenarios with so I am wondering if they are equivalent.

We had a program that was sending a pickled session state as a cookie. We solved that by packing the cookie as a random string, a timestamp, the object, and a MAC. We validated the MAC, then checked the timestamp, and finally unpickle the o

Credit/debit card companies have more of some information but they know less about my psyche. They may know that I buy guns but they don't know that I like single action revolvers. They may know that I eat out but they don't
