Really? Because those people work in the city. It reveals more about who you deal with in the city if you don't meet or see them. Although, in a lot of the US, their skin might not be white, and, thus, have a name of Jose or Gurdeep...

I have a lot of thoughts about this. The basic fact is that there are very few opportunities where I'm from. However, people do get by. Now, suppose that I was graduating high school in a rural WA area now... I'm reviewing house

I was. The whole logical schema here is vanity - or, more literally from the Hebrew - a pursuit after wind, a momentary breath, a flicker of wind on the cheek... The author's experience is that "same structure, new shapes" i

Not what I mean. The entire experience that it's a different place, that it inherently is different from the city. The interiority of the individual does not change, although the external world may reflect into the interior differently

I grew up in the high desert. My comment therefore is as follows: This, too, is vanity.

my take on this looks similar, but I'll have more going on: 1. kubernetes. 2. postgres. 3. application. where the kubernetes bit is used for the more integration test side of things. a lot of machinery can be employed that gets in the

yocto is also an embedded system, where you should be taking care of these things tidily, because your target devices are not always trivially updatable and often have longer lifetime cycles than revs of normal software

Yeah, I have been getting Legos for my kid, and man, I just don't see the complaints. I'm very happy with the modern sets, as happy as I was when I was a kid.

Unfortunately, this is also my take. I would also note that ERB hacking is still front end work. I also note that startups don't really have the kind of fixed & linear work paths that more mature companies have. I'm kinda bumm

I've worked at two different Clojure companies now. My take is that yes, Clojure is strictly better than, say, Python. It is strictly worse than Common Lisp. A lot of stupid BS just goes away when you're not papering over an unde

as I mentioned, they can observe purchase patterns and derive that a given individual is making those purchases if its unique enough. gently, my take on privacy is that, we will never be able to turn the clock back to 1970; we have to inste

If you log into a loyalty account for a Kroger store (QFC, Fred Meyer, others)... you see similar transaction lists. This is extremely normal for retailers. Also, machine learning can create shadow profiles for people, even those who don&#x

My understanding of US labor law is this is flamingly illegal. And you would be well served to talk to a lawyer for yourself before you make any moves.

One of my professors in grad school was really into code visualization and we dabbled through a survey of the code viz approaches back then (~10 years ago now, geez). I do not visualize code. I did, once, in a way, but that faded... Any ser

YouTube is a terrifying cascade of "wtf" for children. IMO it's completely unsuitable for unsupervised children under, say, 13.

After having sampled Disney+, HBOMax, Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime a fair bit in the past year, my take is that Netflix has the UX nailed. I can, for instance, "thumbs down" a recommendation. Some offerings I never want to see.

A review of the housing market should disabuse one of this notion in a very big hurry. Sure, after a point , it's not about the money.

This is really cool. I'm not sure I want to _use_ it, my experiments with chorded phone keyboards have uniformly been blah. But, I really like it and want to see people using it.
