In my experience, USPS has been at least as reliable as FedEx and UPS. I've had more issues with those two (late shipments, delivery to wrong address, losing things in the mail) than I've had with USPS. I've also been impress

There's some interesting and controversial stuff in here. I am very excited about extension everything. I also like the new extension method syntax; much cleaner and a much clearer expression of intent.

This is big. I used to work for a manager who didn't even have a computer at home (and no smartphone in 2013). She definitely excelled at keeping tech out of her daily life.

We've had multiple people prominent enough to make the front page of hacker news in the last few months. Maybe we should get some statistics on how many people are prominent enough and controversial enough to land on the front page of

Wow, fuck Google. They really should consider re-adopting "Don't be evil" for PR proposes at the very least. (This isn't too say other companies don't pull the same shit; fuck them all just as much)

Non-tech people have no idea what Docker is. Still even a lot of the less up-to-date people know what it is and I suspect vanishingly few people (relative to something like GitHub) really understand it beyond the mechanics of the commands.

I came from a school with a large Hard of Hearing population... I've really come to appreciate captioning on all videos. Mainly I just don't like listening to people say things very much, most videos have super annoying soundtrack

This is very interesting and I like the finance model a lot. I'd be curious to see more details on the syllabus, however. I also have questions about the quality of instruction. There are some big name institutions listed, but that doe

But piracy is good right? Death to DRM! If someone doesn't want to pay they should be able to get the content for free, then they can decide if you deserve to be paid. --- That content above seems to be very popular sentiment on HN and

Google has an inordinate amount of money to spend on inordinate amount of content review. Deleting history and evidence of war crimes is Evil; good thing Google had abandoned their earlier aspirations.

Esri gives just about everyone their own office; aside from people displaced by moves or visiting, I've yet to encounter a programmer without one.

Interesting. At least in my experience in the us, people paying cash is much, much slower than using credit or debit. All it takes is one customer paying cash to turn a fast register into a storefront-filling queue.

Also it should be mentioned that female contraceptive is also advertised for beneficial side effects, like reducing the symptoms of PMS. While there are surely hormonal cycles that men experience, there really is no regular, painful, recurr

While I get that you could argue that 'pregnancy is the worst std' with 18+ years-long untreatable consequences, I don't really see the appeal for something that just targets pregnancy. As a gay male, I would tend to favor co

Pools, saunas, arenas, orientation activities, facilities management, energy, space, housing, etc have basically nothing to do with teaching style. College is expensive because of all the extras (teachers don't earn very much). Also ba

This is rich coming from Google. If only they put a fraction of the time they put into this into the Android SDK they'd have a much better product.

All of those places will pay just as much for (as well as hire far more of) enterprise Java/Go/HTML/JS code monkeys There's nothing wrong with that, but picking 5 companies with their hands in damn-near anything is disin

I spend $6 per meal if I really go all out with meat and semi premium ingredients. I would have to make a lot of money to justify $25 per meal on a regular basis. On an irregular basis, I'll just go to a restaurant. I do somewhat enj

This is amazing. I especially appreciate how broad and inclusive it is. I hate the idea that a bunch of girls are going to do 'girls who code' or similar things, not like it, and think STEM isn't for them. Coding sucks someti

I love this article but in the comments I'm reminded of an issue in the discord around climate change. It seems to be an issue of 'denial' and 'belief' to many - the same terms we use for religious belief. We owe it

It doesn't matter what year it is, JavaScript provides zero utility on a blog except to give the author analytics. Why do people hate the idea of documents so much? Imagine if you had to suffer through a different app for every single

Edge has this since Creators update. Unfortunately, Edge is pretty bad in ways that actually matter (UI responsiveness, reliability).

I think the original Zune had a bad randomizer. In my experience it would tend to play two songs from the same artist back to back. Whether this was because they had a botched 'smart' randomizer or because they in fact used true r

In my very limited experience Azure is much, much nicer than AWS from the admin experience. Its kind of embarrassing for Amazon how bad AWS is in that area. Google CE also has very nice UI. I understand that Azure is competitive on price, a

Windows NT was a spiritual successor to VMS, sharing a father in DEC's Dave Cutler. VMS fell out of use and is widely considered history. Still, it had some interesting ideas and I've always preferred my history to be living.

You have it backwards. Disrespect & unkindness are earned. Common courtesy and respect should be the default with anyone you meet or work with. If I'm a new developer on your project, I expect to be treated like a valued contributo

That is in fact what I was referring to, although I don't think it should still be up. I wrote that and on a whim thought, "I'll make this a pip package," severely underestimating that task. The tool works but I never fi
