Aeron, many memories from that era. I really hated those chairs.

markets prefer efficiency and using best of breed 3rd party software/libs etc is efficient vs. everyone re-inventing the wheel (inefficient). So much of programming these days is glue code, even with IOT, devices and sdk's and lib

"My package was sitting in Atlanta, GA for well over a month with my address clearly visible right on the box." WOW, and they would just put that up for auction. That is the definition of theft. Don't apologize for that.

So many products and service for this today. Free, paid, trials etc and from super dead simple to more complex. https://www.google.com/search?q=task+reminder+service

Then I'm wrong. I for one cringe when others are so passive with how much privacy they are willing to give up.

Original backer of the rift, sold my the day it arrived, unopened for 3x the purchase price. VR did well for me. VR is clunky and unless its as simple and sleek as wearing eyeglasses it will go nowhere.

Just setup dual boot to auto load some lame duck OS with some lame duck user activity, for laptops anyway. Any attempt to load the other boot without some special password results in a "drive not found"...ahem, yah...not found.

I write my best code in my head while riding my bike to/from work, in the shower or lying in bed falling asleep. Having extended times of being disconnected enables your brain to chew on things and come up with new things to try.

Healthcare? Hmmmm, NSA, now that I can believe as they could actually afford it.

" But I'm pretty sure it doesn't involve mega-corporations that own more money than entire nation-states" So should we limit companies that operate at a global scale to revenue or profits to that of the worlds smallest n

Wow, instead, get 100% response rate from only the 5 jobs one should really apply for because they have a personal story to tell that is a great match for the work being asked. I've done that twice. Throwing your name against the wal

One day people will grok that this "addictive/useless chitchat" is not good for them for any number of reasons. But in no way should anyone decide for anyone else how they should spend their time. You could empower thousand

And I assume you or someone you know should be in charge of what is considered smart and progressive wisdom? No thanks, history has shown us that is the wrong direction, set it all free (as in freedom, not beer...unless you want/can)

We are still using in production and for new projects. It's a very strong product with good engineering, documentation and is open source and have faith it will continue to be a viable option.

Interesting article, with the premise of it based on data from "polls". If anyone learned anything from this election is that polls are absolute shit.

And reinforced with advertising algorithms which keeps everyone at FB employed, it is a FB problem as it is now the Fast Food of news...very unhealthy.

Not an outlier at all. I have never used FB for anything really, just tried to promote a silly YT channel with my kids at one time. This site is starting to get bad as well though. I would love it to be only tech.

"it's a lot of work"....of course it is, as it should be! Throwing wordpress postings at the wall to see if a headline will stick is trash journalism...from all sides.

Exactly, one day people may wake up and realize that they were sold to the highest bidder. All of this media is shit. Zero investigative work is being done and it's written in a opinionated way. It's all opinion garbage (which

LOL, whats it going to do run as a NPO and take donations from its users and no ads? Cmon Zuck, I dare ya because you know that is the only way to "fix" this...fix your bottom line.

That is true, and the card to play against that scenario is reading something like the Economist.

This has been fixed many times over in history...start you own news/media outlet. It's much easier these days. It's super easy to be open minded about it once you realize it's all bullshit everywhere.

I think that's the rub, "newsworthy". He never really got in the news for the right things (if there were any I don't know). After August, if he sat himself in a closet and never did or said anything (and that recording

What exactly are you programming then? There must be something somewhere using the domain and language that you know.

Create career and life goals in reverse from your exit plan. You start focusing more on things that matter in life.

I agree that the layers are insane and change frequently. Bigger companies go with stacks that don't change as much (C# or Java) vs. JavaScript but that's all relative and that may be too much change still. Going the graphics pro

Academia has some of these qualities (and more). Depending on the school and or department you could be doing anything from basic full stack web dev on down to lower level comp sci work. Deliver good results and move around (big universit
