During the rise of smart phones I wouldn’t have blamed parents. It was an unknown, assumed to be like tv (which the article states) But with everything we know now, there’s no excuse. Parents are being irresponsible letting their child have

it has its place. If you already know how to code but are learning Ruby, it's not a good book (lot of fluff). But if you are learning to code for the first time it's good. This was my case in 2012. I admit the comedy style is show

One of the reasons I chose F#. Too many choices for a Scala novice. Seems to be a pervasive pattern. I think Scala was actually a better choice since my company mainly does AI/ML (python) and Scala has some clout in data science. But I

After a couple weeks of dabbling between Scala and F# to migrate Python and Node.js codebases (at a scaling startup serving big enterprises) I ended up choosing F#. Scala is a beast and the package manager + build tools were giving me heada

well now I'm hearing more of plans to "begin healing" and to combat hate. I see the government using "hate" as a reason to implement backdoors and monitor citizens, just like the Patriot Act. Whenever I bring this u

I was hoping for the Dem ticket that had a more anti-establishment leaning. Biden isn't a nemesis to big-tech like Trump is. He's an established politician who served while the Patriot act was in place. Seems scarier to me for inc

company policies are a funny thing. I know of a business that had a policy that fired someone for missing work 3 times without notice. So... an employee missed work 5+ times and then got fired. That employee sued AND WON because the company
