I was just in Montpelier, VT yesterday, which has a population of just 8000 people, but as the state capital enjoys a busy downtown with a lot of activity. The moment a pedestrian approaches a non-signal crosswalk, traffic in both direction

Weird, I’m offended by the opposite end of this. Why am I “theming” websites? What, is this MySpace? I want the professional paid/trained developer to design the site. If it’s light, I expect there to be good reasons for it. If not, di

My step-father was a very active bluegrass musician in North Carolina, and when he died I inherited all of his instruments. In particular, I have a unique banjo made by a local luthier (Bob Shue) specifically for my step-father. The banjo

My 2012 VW Passat’s system was the most responsive and dead-on accurate GPS I’ve ever used in a car or a phone. The only thing that beats it are handheld dedicated GPS units designed for ships and rescue workers. That said, the maps got out

I’m struggling to understand how they are asserting one follows from the other. I’m not a SWE, but do a lot of adjacent types of work (infrastructure automation and scripting, but also electronics engineering, and I’m also a musician), and

Just for the record, I don’t love being outraged, and yet I frequently employ active effort to maintain my composure. Society is being looted from the top; in both scope and scale, it’s only getting worse. I can appreciate that many find Zi

If I’m a barista at an indie shop shitting on my small business employer for not giving me more money, then I’m sort of by definition not much of a communist. The handful of sincere communists I know would absolutely label those people (cor

Proprietary platform solve all the problems you cite for exactly as long as it remains profitable to do so, and not a nanosecond longer. Once you’ve been captured, say goodbye to every one of those things.
