Great. I just finished reading [2034: A Novel of the Next World War]( https://www.amazon.com/2034-Novel-Next-World-War-ebook/dp/B0... ) by Elliot Ackerman and James Stavridis. It was not a cheerful book.

A “modern looking” web site doesn’t really need any JavaScript framework or library. What are you looking for that vanilla JavaScript cannot provide? There are, of course, alternatives to React. Angular, Svelte, and Vue are among the most p

If I'm reading it right, they report an IFR from 0.49% to 0.81% (95% credible interval). Ballpark population of England is 50 million. Herd immunity at ~70% means over 200,000 deaths at median IFR of 0.63%. Extrapolating to US populati

This is flat out wrong. There is no revision at all. To quote [Neil Ferguson himself]( https://twitter.com/neil_ferguson/status/1243294815200124928 ): I think it would be helpful if I cleared up some confusion that

Yep. It's one benefit of the SwissMicros DM42. (There are a few other minor upgrades to the original HP42S as well, much better display resolution and really long battery life stand out.)

A domain squatter will probably snag it immediately on the chance that the lapse was in error. At that point it will be expensive to get back, so make sure you won’t change your mind.

Yep. The Apple MacBook keyboard is a case of form over function. The Apple TV remote is a case of form over function. Every mouse Apple has released is a case of form over function. ...

I'm mildly surprised that no one has mentioned [Better]( https://better.fyi ). Works very well for me. The pitch: Better uses our own list of blocking rules, curated and maintained by Ind.ie. We use the principles of Ethical

Maybe I'm just an outlier, but as a front end developer, one of the _last_ things I want to do is spend time hacking my tool chain. What gets me excited is delivering new features and better UX to my users. Even a minute spent worryin

Anyone else notice the copyright on the web site is 2012? Presumably just a bad copy-and-paste, but weird nonetheless.

In Atlanta as well and, at 56-years-old, happily working remotely for a SF-based company. Somehow I feel that remote work places less emphasis on age. (Also, working remotely effectively is possibly something that takes experience, as, e.g.

Assuming the patent is accurate and based on work you did for the company, I’d think that you’re ethically obligated to sign. It seems like the right time to register objections to the patent system was when you were considering whether or

Folks may make fun of me, but I'm still pleased as can be with my 2016 MacBook Air. Maxed out on CPU, memory, and disk, it's plenty powerful for front-end development, and since I'm almost always connected to an external moni

To add what's sure to be a minority view, I prefer the Air. But a couple of caveats. First, as a web developer my programming is not CPU intensive. Second, I have a laptop mainly so I can shuttle back and forth between home and work, a
