What if all children start off as autistic and gradually develop situational and emotional awareness? Some never do.

I think it's changing. I was one of the young people who did not believe the neckbeards (who are evangelists in their own right) since I wasn't around when the EEE strategy happened. I was happy with Windows because for me it was

They are not immune. As someone who has been supportive of Microsoft getting their act together, and who recently spoke at a Microsoft-sponsored conference, this stuff makes me hesitant to give any Microsoft-owned properties money and disco

Hey Microsoft, whenever you do this, you lose all the goodwill you've built with developers. You have put me back in a buying position where I'm now thinking: how can I cancel my paid GitHub & Azure accounts?

I have to agree that DDG seems to struggle with developer terms, but that is probably a cost of not knowing that I'm a developer. E.g. compare search results on Google and DDG for "Rust http". Google knows I'm looking fo

Google seems to be slowly self-immolating. I've stopped using Google Chrome and Google Search. The only time I use Google Search now is when DuckDuckGo doesn't quite deliver and then I do so using an incognito window. Next step wi

I tried to refuse walking through yet another xray upon arriving in Laos in 2014 and 10 agents appeared out of nowhere. So you walk through the xray.

What I like about this idea of Approval Testing is that I don't have to write too many tests if I know my system is working, as long as I am notified when the behaviour of my system has changed (usually in some unexpected way). This wo

Does anyone at Google realize how toxic this is for their brand? When I see stuff like this, as a developer I think: - 1. Wow, I'm never building an Android app if I can build a web app instead. - 2. There is no way I am ever switchi

No, it's the lockdown. I haven't played games in 10 years. But during lockdown here in South Africa, the only way to stay in touch with my friends 20km away is to have a fat chat on Discord and play some games.

The Monty Hall problem is typically not clearly explained with the confounding precondition that the game show host won’t open a door that reveals the prize. Once I understood that there was a bias against one of the doors, the problem beca
