My twins just turned 10 yesterday. But they were born as part of a triplet pregnancy... Life is just brutal, and I don't know if there is any solace in it being so brutal to so many other people. But I hope you're ok.

Social media existed before the iPhone/android. I remember needing to be at home on my computer to check myspace, xanga, and even thefacebook. Not sure how I feel about this article (it's interesting at least) but the existence

If it makes you feel better.... On February 29, 2008 I was working on a system as a government contractor. Part of it was outsourced to a sub-contractor who decided to write their own date/time library because how hard could that be

I’m not sure I like the name “Bike Shed Painting Simulator”. Let’s spend some time coming up with something more succinct. Should we schedule a meeting to discuss?

One could argue that the problem CLEAR solves for regular consumers is a problem manufactured by those administering it. Depends on how one feels about the TSA…

Yours is an interesting story. And very relevant. It just isn’t applicable to one interesting aspect of the article being discussed which is that the sensitive data was sent to every user but was “hidden” by html. But the shoot the messenge

I like Andrew Yang, but if we are being petty… I also am just not a fan of “the forward party”. When I hear it the first thing that comes to mind is this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HqjhHVUzl8o

I visited the article after the title was edited, so I knew what to expect. And it far exceeded my expectations. I hate the palpable feeling that as a software engineer I’m part of an industry that is becoming harmful to society. And we are

While I can understand this point of view, I have to ask. Do you think that how Assange went about things justifies the magnitude of the effort to punish and silence him?

For sure. At the time I felt like earning a full time job at IBM was a career maker. I now realize that the guidance that made me think that was not great. But it came from my parents and my professors at the time. I hope people who used to

Great read. Also, it inspired someone to post this super interesting comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27468654 I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on that take since I thought it was very insightful.

It's incredible. If the lab leak theory is true, then a virus escaped from a lab in China and caused the deaths of millions of people. And at the time this happened, the Chinese government did everything it could to hide that from th
