I have not begun really using Go in earnest yet, but at least in the cloud engineering world it seems to be the language of choice (along with Python) due to the ease of using its concurrency capabilities

After the iPod, this was what really helped. As someone on a college campus in 2006, the influx of people with MacBooks (not necessarily Pro’s but the regular one in black and white cases) was astonishing to watch, as they suddenly could du

The only advice I have to offer is to work out in the morning, before work. It seems like an insane task when you first consider it, but you quickly find you can establish a routine where you wake up, have some water or coffee, and then get

And downloading patches often meant waiting in a queue at places like FilePlanet for an hour or two, then downloading it at a snails pace

My Steam account predates my Gmail account. I think it's the account that has been around the longest for me that I still use. It's funny to think back and remember the days of waiting in queues at FilePlanet to download a patch f

I think the need for a special presentation for yearly iterative updates to a phone and watch is pretty minimal these days. Just put out a press release

I do wonder what it would take to get Sundar Pichai out of the CEO spot. The board must like him, but my usage and faith in Google products has never been lower.

You have to realize that we are now far enough away from the debut of the iPad (2010) that it is possible that high school students and college freshman do not remember a computing world without it. Many of these students grew up using a ta

Somewhere in the last decade, Microsoft realized that it would be better for them to give away free upgrades to Windows for existing licensed customers so that they would have an larger pool of users that they could upsell services to and t

That’s very true as well, tech is more iterative now. I also think just having less time due to being a parent now also wipes out a lot of interest or motivation to check out new stuff

Interesting that the Reddit post is about web frameworks and stacks, as the title made me assume this was purely about devices/hardware. Maybe I was projecting my own feelings onto the topic, which are mostly about hardware. As I’ve go

Exactly. It’s the SUVs and trucks that are suffering runaway prices. Driving a new Camry or Honda Accord is still doable

Better meaning that in the 90s or early 2000s, your news sources were mostly: newspaper, television, radio, and some Web 1.0 websites. You most likely consumed this at various distinct times of the day, then went about your business to scho

I recognize there was 24/7 news media then, but it was still better than now. And before there was 24/7 news media was even better than the early 2000s

I was recently listening to a podcast recapping a television show set in the early 2000s, where a current college aged student basically said "I wish I had the experience of being a teenager in that time period - it seemed much simpler

Feel like this is mostly Steam Deck usage but I would be pretty tempted to use a desktop build of SteamOS on a well supported device (like say, a Framework 16 one day)

I’m curious if any company trying to get people back into the office has begun reverting it’s open floor plan to a more structured and divided one, allowing for more noise isolation and private work

No, it sounds like Anne Arundel County was the one completely incompetent at investigating the supposed text messages, whereas he finally got caught when he tried the same crap in Baltimore County. How hard is it to ask for phone records th
