Don't mean to be pedantic, but the word is pedant (a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning), not pendant (a piece of jewellery that hangs from a chain worn round the neck)

I'm way younger than you and I've felt this way for a long time. The alternatives are to either vet code quality yourself (hard if no good options actually exist) or to implement the functionality yourself (which comes with additi

Don't worry, I maintain my car correctly and drive very carefully not to wear it too much. So far I spent about 50% of its original purchase price on repairs, and it's still a broken piece of shit. Thank you, Volkswagen!

I'm the ex-CTO of Lavaboom, a German startup that did encrypted email. Right now I'm working on Oakmail, which will be even more radically open and easy to use. I reckon it will be 2-3 months before we launch an open beta (and of

I don't doubt the ergonomics are amazing, but it's somewhat surprising to me that people are happy with such mediocre audio performance.

Look up Murdoch and Trump's dynamic over the past few years and you'll understand why that happened. Wrt BBC, they are both biased and incredibly inconsistent - I lost any trace of respect for them a long time ago.

One of my pet peeves is that 1password doesn't seem to support security questions out of the box, so I have to manually generate random passwords with it, fields for Q1, A1, etc., then set those fields to type "password".

I agree, some years ago I prepared for a month for a Google SWE interview and still failed. I haven't prepared for interviews since, nor asked to write code. Last time I interviewed at Google for a SRE-TPM position I was asked Python t

I'm a diehard fan of classic bookmarks. I tried pinboard, pocket, and other services, but for me the browser bookmarks with some form of organization works best. I like and use all Chrome shortcuts and nifty features for bookmarks, and

One important advantage with Night Shift is that it doesn't mess up YouTube videos. I get weird artefacts with f.lux when watching videos, and overall Night Shift seems to perform slightly better as well. I'm sad for f.lux but for
