Yeah, and as a developer it really behooves me to be able to run Xcode and the iOS simulator. Plus every team seems to use Macs nowadays, and it certainly helps to be on the same platform as everybody else. Finally, I already have a couple

I've often thought about this... is it really possible to live forever ? Or does entropy (along with other factors like the accelerating rate of expansion of the universe) demand that at some point it'll all come to an end, rega

Yep, I keep a bunch of distracting sites in my /etc/hosts file (slither.io included) and even wrote a script to quickly block them all [1] ... but of course don't have a script to unblock them :) [1]: https://gist.

Listened to that whole thing as well, and was just as frustrated. I prefer Brian Greene's 1 minute case for the absence of free will: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBNzaXx6eKg

I'm a dev as well, and thus 'left brain' dominant, so I sometimes fantasize about buying a ticket to some foreign country and focusing on 'right brain' things like learning a language, writing, traveling, making vid

Yeah, I've been doing Rails for work + side projects for awhile, and I love & appreciate it, but I keep sneaking glances at Elixir/Phoenix. Fast, concurrent-capable tests out of the box seems like a game-changer, for starters

Even as a millenial, save for GoT and some sports (though I find it pretty much impossible to sit through an entire ad-drenched sporting event anymore), I've completely stopped watching TV and movies, and YouTube is a go-to when I want

I worked for a company that relied solely on Firebase for their backend... I ended up writing a lot of Node scripts to munge our Firebase db's data and JSON structure.

I really like the `deinit` construct that comes with ARC, which lets you know when an object is about to be deallocated. Makes it much easier to find memory leaks, imo.

Sorry for the confusion - I expect to spend money, but preferably not at Turbo Tax.

True, I misspoke, and thanks for the link. But Curson's stuff has made me rethink the practicality of heavy, slow lifting. He does think that it will slow you down.

Rippetoe is all about gaining weight and putting on muscle. Probably not practical for most people. I'd also be hesitant to teach yourself both how to deadlift and squat - I hurt myself doing both after reading Rippetoe, despite the

Fusion is cool, but fission is easy and if used on Thorium in LFTRs[1], would provide us with virtually unlimited, passively safe energy that leaves extremely little waste. Unfortunately it falls under the 'nuclear' umbrella and t
