This seems…extremely California-centric. Anecdotally, in the Portland area I don’t see this at all.

The Dark Side is quicker, easier, more seductive. Once you’ve played TIE Fighter, forever will it dominate your opinion of video games.

I live around Portland too. Berry picking in Clackamas County has been just fine, especially blackberries and loganberries. Even with the (very) brief heatwave.

We live in spaceships, hooked up to life support. Skyscrapers are nothing but sealed spaceships pumping in air and water and pumping out waste. Same for most homes.

Github is (owned by) Microsoft. This is just an appetizer.

"What gives Microsoft more freedom-of-movement, though, is that Windows is no longer the core of its business. This remains CEO Satya Nadella’s biggest triumph" Apple recognized this years ago about its OS, of course, but I&#x27

Not a book, and I only have one (positive) data point from a coworker, but this free Udacity course tackles that subject: https://www.udacity.com/course/networking-for-web-developers...

"If this computer were in the lab, we'd be hooking up monitors and testing the inputs and outputs all over the place, and would be really quick to diagnose it," he said. "All we can do is send a command from our limited

So many 'trends' back then. A few that come to mind (from the pre-web days, anyway): * Thin clients: everybody was going to have a 'dumb terminal', and all the computing/storage would happen elsewhere. There were ma

What a sad, poor measure. ‘Productivity’. Everyone knows the ‘eight hour’ day was invented and has no particular meaning. So—make a human decision, and stop pretending you can science your way to something else.

The omitted part, of course, is the stunning increase in children being fed a steady diet of indoor technology, social media, computer games, and other generally passive, low-action activities. And of course, it would be interesting to ask

"E Ink is easier on the eyes than OLED and iPads and the like." This is a popular anecdotal claim, but as far as I know there is zero research to solidly back it. There is research showing there's little difference, however

I miss the pre-Internet and especially the Time Before The Web. I can still hear the sound of my dial-up modem connecting to local BBSes. Telnetting into a MUD. Porn at 2k/second. Compuserve. Nostalgia? Yes. Was it better? No, just di

Silicon Valley on HBO. Fabulously unrealistic, but some characters are uncomfortably believable.

Having played Risk on and off for almost 40 years, this article sounds...silly and wildly overthought. Oh and, my favorite strategy: capture Australia first, then creep outward, deny others full countries, and create opportunities for other

But we already know the 'secrets' of the .001%: 1. Hide income and assets whenever possible. 2. When #1 is not possible, structure visible income and assets to leverage the most advantageous tax rules.

It's surprising to me how often I read articles giving life advice (or admonitions) that are written by people who live inside the warm, shiny, not-very-representative bubble of California. I play a game with myself whenever I read art
