Signed up for Pluralsight this month, and I'm getting a fair amount of value from it so far, but I don't feel like that value is going to be a straight line over time. I feel pretty confident that it's going to decline as I c

I never knew it was possible to donate a kidney to a stranger. Was reading an article about someone who couldn't find a donor and a commenter mentioned that this was a thing. I signed up immediately. I'm healthy, I only need one,

Technical debt for me is code without tests. If I can't properly determine the intent of code, and there are no tests to ensure that refactoring is not breaking expected behavior, then it becomes difficult to work with that code in the

> most people who work at a big company know _exactly_ whether they're in danger or not Sometimes. I used to work at RIM (BlackBerry) and they announced huge layoffs for August 2012. I knew at that time that my whole team was gone.

I did a stop payment on a gym years ago and they never contacted me, so that seemed to take care of it. They had refused to cancel me just through talking to them so I felt vindicated. My wife just recently canceled a gym membership, and ac

I've already got a form of cloud debugging on Azure. I'm honestly surprised all cloud services don't offer it. I was happy with the auto integration, but didn't really think it was tremendously new. The new design stuff

What do they mean WiFi won't work? How is that anything other than a blatant lie? Reminds me of the late 90's when my ISP told me I couldn't get cable Internet because I didn't have a 486. I lied and told them I did to h
