I always get a kick out of the goofy self-assuredness of 'computer science curriculums'. You must learn calculus and discrete math ...oh, and CSS.

Most of what you're describing is habits and systems, not goals--and that's what I'm saying, too. James Clear's article here espouses what I'm talking about: https://jamesclear.com/goals-systems

Japanese corporate operations are quite different, historically, than the US. For example, Japan has over 33,000 companies that are over 100 years old. Many are several hundred years old. The oldest is around 1300 years old, I think. Contin

A bit harsh, but the explanations of the 'morally incompetent' remind me of a great article I read a few years ago, titled The Reductive Seduction of Other People's Problems : https://brightthemag.com/the-red

It's interesting that we find links between environment, habits, and behavior in every other facet of life , but--somehow, repeated simulations of visceral violence (violent video games) are an exception. This isn't a simple thin

As an Emacs and VSCodium user, that's an idea I hadn't thought of: replicating Emacs packages in VSCode/Codium. Nice. I'm curious how this compares to the out-of-the-box git integration in VSCode.

It's a common mistake to think that quantum teleportation is a new way of sending information. It's really a way to use classical communication in order to leverage entanglement to bypass various limitations of quantum mechanics.

I would say that's definitely a study plan for learning key CS concepts, but not necessarily a plan for becoming a software engineer. Those are two very different things.

I've tried both; I find Firefox dev tools to be much better (I like them better than Chrome, too). And in a venn diagram of privacy features, I think Firefox and Brave mostly overlap.

In the last six years, PHP’s execution time has more than halved, the community has grown immensely, and there’s now a popular drive to improve PHP codebases (old and new) with insights gleaned from static analysis. Yes. As someone who ha

The best place to keep programmer dad jokes is in a dadabase. Like this one: A programmer is sent to the store by his wife. His wife says, “Get a gallon of milk, and if they have eggs, get a dozen.” The programmer returns home with 13 gallo

I'd be interested to learn the details of the scrambling algorithm. Hopefully the answer is not "it's proprietary".
