   Can you elaborate on the Californian bias with regard to community colleges? Is the California community college system better/worse than other states? I’m a native Californian that went straight to a 4 year, but I sometimes think abou

   I’m using Safari on an iPhone X running the latest OS: * The main page search bar is really choppy. I typed in “lisp” and, when holding down backspace, the cursor skipped around. * The website is unwelcoming. If this i

    Designing Data Intensive Applications is a good read, especially if you’re interested in the “programming in the large” aspect of data engineering [1]. It does have a slightly theoretical taste to it, but I think you’ll find that helpful

    If you’re mainly interested in having a clean username, why not purchase your own domain? If you pay for a small vps, most registrars will host an email server at no extra cost.

    Would you mind sharing a few good intro sources for Plan 9? I’m a small-time Linux contributor, but haven’t delved into any other operating systems. Interactive fiction games are always appreciated too :)
