For a lot of people in the US, the two options are either make more money, or move to a bad neighborhood. There are $30k-45k houses for sale that would turn my commute 14 minutes via bike, but it's not somewhere I would want to live.

I don't think it is far for most Americans. America is built to be driven. 30 minutes isn't considered far for most of us, because 30 minutes is a pretty standard one-way for a lot of destinations from suburbia. In the grand schem

This is what I don't understand. I understand that most consumer activities (e.g. mail, social, search) can be achieved on mobile without missing a beat. Static content and most dynamic content have been solved for mobile devices for a

Can't you just use a pair of noise-canceling cans without piping audio through them? Is there a drawback to turning on the noise-canceling feature without coming through the speakers? It won't be completely quiet (on basic models)

This is something that I struggled with at first. I kept gravitating towards abstract solutions, and returning to that code was always annoying. Too many layers for so little payoff.

I can't access TFA at the moment, so I could be off base. Perhaps that quote is a jab at people who claim competency where none exists? I personally know front-end devs who will claim back-end mastery cause they set up a Digital Ocean

Which is why they want to use texting in my opinion. Social media is public, and when an angry customer uses it as a platform to complain, you have to handle the situation post-haste. The longer a mention goes publicly ignored, the worse it

I'm hoping it will bring better search functionality, but the search will probably still suck plus ad gifs pasted throughout. Their search functionality has autocomplete as if it might know what you're looking for. The results are

I feel like part of the disconnect is that Kite uploads source code to servers. In a perfect world with perfect security and 100% honest people, this is no big deal. The world doesn't work like that. The last thing that I or my employe

I feel like you're really not giving credit where it is due. Yes, the trope is that football consists entirely of meatheads. The infamous movie The Blind Side comes to mind where they falsely treat Michael Oher like moron in spite of h

I've always wondered what the advice would look like if you compiled a list of what not to do from failed companies. TFA is a list of the successful ones who got it right, so we know what they did to make it. Yet I'm sure many peo
