I've been following OpenWRT for years, and finally made the jump. This was after using DD-WRT and various flavors of Tomato (especially Shibby and FreshTomato) for two decades on probably ~100 routers in various locations. Some of tho

I wonder how much of this is due to social media sites and how the choice to interact that way (where the medium is geared to show off shallow facets of our achievements or amplify polarized opinions) is robbing us from traditional ways of

I don't mind designers overriding when they take meticulous care to craft a better tailored experience. But once I scrolled past the initial content I found the site a UI disaster. Not long after it said "Pick a person to explor

Have you been living under a rock for the last 15+ years? Yes, and I'm not coming out until projects like this finish scooping up all the crap MBA's have excreted all over the place in that time.

Add "can't participate in society without agreeing to user-hostile Terms of Service clauses, such as indemnities, behavior profiling, and opted-in marketing subscriptions." It's amazing where those dark patterns are crop

These are good tips. A lot of it boils down to writing well-organized code geared for human consumption . Junior programmers too often make the mistake of thinking the code they write is intended for consumption by the machine . Coding i

Advice to US international shippers: When shipping to Canada, UPS is the worst. They charge an arm and a leg to process the paperwork (often to the point where their brokerage fees outsize the actual duties and taxes owed), and even after
