How ironic! I considered linking to an interview with this author about the phenomenon of online swindlers in her home country when a debate about same sprung up in a company listserv. One side of the debate was offended that the topic was

While true, it’s also true that “neger” is the German word for “negro” and the last time I was in Bavaria also a certain type of dark chocolate covered donut. I’m not sure if the word is considered outmoded or politically incorrect as it is

I could come up with reasonable objections but the truth is I was miserable as a kid, and I associate that misery with New Jersey. I still pull over across New Jersey for food - especially around Edison, where I order banquet amounts of Ind

This. Alexa is a trust-interface. Many consumers don’t trust Amazon anymore, so they sure as hell won’t trust some bot to spend their money for them there. I just decided not to buy an item from Amazon despite it being cheaper, because I ne

Why is it assumed an off-ramp needs a corresponding on-ramp? Does Twitter-the-format add something to the world that must be replicated? I’m not suggesting Twitter has no value, but I question whether it or something very much like it is th

I’ve recently read multiple reports of people experiencing HPPD after tripping on mushrooms. That would be a bummer. I had one lsd experience that was so strong I’d imagine if I was gonna get HPPD I would have, but who knows if that’s how

My dealership tried to sell me tires at $300/each. At a tire shop I got comparable tires for about 60% of that. Dealerships make a lot of money via convenience (you’re already here for your 30k service) and just plain ignorance (most p

The caveat here is you want to be highly valued. If low pay alone is an advantage, the company is in big trouble.

Stripe’s Markdoc (markdoc.dev) is very promising. Anything AsciiDoc can do, Markdoc can be extended to do, from variables through includes. React or HTML output. AST transforms or functions. Upcoming editor support etc. The community isn’t

I have a chest freezer in the garage. It’s great, it costs very little to run. But it’s a beast to organize. For a while we had piles of loose frozen things, which eventually got all mixed up, so we had no idea what was hiding in there. Now

Actually they were all young like me but it is fair to say that I was unable to recognize the benefit of a free meal because I was an entitled prick as well as a former New Yorker who knew from bagels.

In my first real office job, where everyone was paid a pittance, the employer offered free bagels on Friday mornings. They were shit bagels, and cold, but the employees got to work early on bagel day and they stood in line to get one. They

Interesting. Ultimately neither one of these companies stand to make money selling a web framework, but one of them happens to have a business for which it makes sense to commoditize and control its complements. Put another way: Remix may h

These huge grocery store empires have largely pursued a strategy of moving upscale in the last 5 years or so. While this has been very successful, it may prove a challenge in the next 5 years or so, as less shoppers care about finding the p

That's not the point. The point is that meetings themselves are not work, and that in most cases they make the work more difficult. If no meeting happened, but all the artifacts required to guide work exist and are accessible and under

I have never seen anything more efficient at making group decisions than a pull request. If your team is getting on a call to present things or to talk things through, you’re very likely on a train to nowhere. In a remote setting, every oun

At Red Hat very talented people leave money on the table to align their work with their passion and idealism. The main risk with “you work for IBM now” is that this bubble is burst and that the smartest people decide to just go somewhere an

This is my personal coping mechanism. If I made $10k in BC I would have sold it all and felt very lucky. I did find a fractional BC on a thumbnail drive in an EOL software wallet for which I had long ago forgotten the password. So that coul
