"Of course this is Asian parents," I thought as I saw the Chinese characters. Every time I read something like this, it's a wave of sadness and empathy, then it's a wave of anger. I'm a generation older than the au

Dark Side of the Ring was freakin' awesome. At least they had the foresight to run away with that. But every freakin' promo about something marijuana related was tiresome.

Reminds me of this Reddit AMA+Answer from an ex-CIA officer. https://old.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/a8c03j/i_am_andrew_bu... Don't know how it went over in the Mormon community, but us Ags loved it.

I live 20 miles away from work. 3 times a week, I have to go in. For a while, every morning, I ask Siri directions to [name of my company] to gauge how bad traffic is and how long it will take. Every time, she gives me directions to some

And each provider you intend to support exponentially clutters up code in the frontend and your /authenticate endpoint in the backend. Imports for each one, IF/ELSE statements to handle each one.

Not sure if they still do this, but when I first started learning, front and center of the documentation was telling you how to do it in a mobile app, then JS SPA app. The use case of a backend API+JS/mobile frontend was buried. And

This sounds a lot like the annual "[insert the upcoming year] is the year of Linux on the desktop!" that circulated in the early 2000's. Nobody cared outside of Linux crowd, and it never happened.

Anyone talking about it now in the mainstream media? Oh, sweet summer child, thinking some tech nugget reported 6 months ago is still relevant.

The drama is pretty amusing. Even Sabine Hossenfelder is essentially calling him an attention whore these days.

Kinda of like the old Chris Berman commercial, "There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people asking questions."

Those two stores are right in the middle of a long, open pathway. It’s a decent distance to the parking lot. Dragging huge espresso machines would certainly get someone’s attention. There’s truck patrols and foot patrol regularly walk alon

The lawsuit was filed three months after NEL was launched. Controlled Digital Lending has been around for years and is used by public libraries. Publishers didn’t like it CDL, but they lived with it. There absolutely is a correlation be

NEL opened in March 2020. The first doc on this case was filed June 1, 2020. NEL closed down almost immediately on June 16, 2020. IA was definitely and stupidly playing with fire here. As others have said, publishers weren't happy wit

Holy hell, this is true. Amazon is notorious for scammers. It's great if you want to buy a jug of dishwashing gel, but for anything risky like cameras, stick to a specialist. B&H is especially good with their fast and free shipp

This is probably therapy, but your message and fly.io's post resonates a lot with what I'm going through. I took a product owner role about 6 months ago, my first, with a company that has turned out to be just a mired mess, and a

I shit on a lot that IBM does, but at the end of the day, I will always give them respect for what they did against SCO. If they rolled over, that would have given validity to SCO's claims and who knows where Linux would be today.
