In Los Angeles, there may be fewer car accidents but I’m afraid the ones that do occur will be more fatal. The lack of traffic is allowing people to drive at unsafe speeds. While there is dramatically less traffic, there are still a lot of

I personally knew longshoremen who were making close to $300k working as clerks in an office (this was about 15 years ago, so adjust for inflation). Clerks were the most coveted job that senior longshoremen wanted since you sat in an AC off

It’s hard to root for the ILWU. I grew up in San Pedro, where many of the long shoremen live (near the port of L.A.). Once you’ve known these people for a while, you start to understand that the problem is not only a strong union but also a

Other car manufactures have tried avoiding those two because they want to maintain control over their ecosystem. Read up on how Toyota failed at this with their special infotainment Linux OS.

While I agree cubes are worse, they aren't worse for noise and distraction. The felt walls absorb quite a bit of sound and reduce the audible range of a conversation. WeWork offices, on the other hand, are the complete opposite with th

Sounds like the equivalent of a cat chasing a laser pointer. What if this is an artifact of a space based weapon pointing at various points on the ocean?

Goes without saying, the consistent Medium experience is a good reason why we keep using it. Self made blogs like this that do annoying things that take away from content are foot guns.

My library blocks VPNs too, but I just set my PIA VPN to use TCP over port 443 and it works fine. You just need your VPN to look like HTTPS.

It’s really important to talk directly to someone who would be considered your peer to understand the team and the day to day. Bonus points if you can speak to them privately to get candid answers.

I was searching for a new coworking space, and in the process learned that a very large library with gigabit internet existed near me. I love going to this library to work! It has cool water features that mask the noise and they even have d

Go modules still allow for changes to local copies. You are not required to use a proxy to use modules. Also, you can always fork a public project and use a replace statement in a module to redirect an import path to your customized module.

I think the mirror can pass through the public signature provided by the notary. That cannot be spoofed if you have a trust chain for the notary to ensure the mirror has not tampered with the module.

That’s a good point, but I already give money to causes. I hope that by devoting my passion and skills to a cause, I can provide something of value much greater than the money I can justify donating.

I just went to my old wedding domain name to see if it was still up (www.paulandtessa.com) and it turns out another couple bought it for their wedding next February. Amazingly, they are from the same city as us (Long Beach). I'm not su

Costco's website also logs me out after every session. Extremely annoying since they don't show all prices without being logged in.
