Can we please change the title of this post? "And it's changing how we live" is not only click bait, it's not even in the original article.

I also looked into blocking people on Slack but it's 'antithetical' to their whole mission or whatever, so I went this route: https://github.com/ketanbhatt/block-slack-users

That's cool, thanks for sharing. I vibed with your point about being stimulated and [not checking out]. I'm relatively new to programming (5 years, self-taught) but I find the endless amount of information to learn quite appetizin

Yea, it's a tough situation; I wish you and your family the best. Hope you didn't take my comment the wrong way either -- I'm just looking out for all good teachers out there :)

What do you do for work? Have you always done that? Have you always liked the challenge?

Educators did not come up with this plan, politicians did by their lack of any sort of COVID response. Do you really think educators want to do remote learning? My heart goes out to all the teachers who have to deal with this. It's as

Why is this being downvoted? Seems like a fair counter-point to me.

The fundamental difference between SpaceX and Farming is that the latter actually provides direct utility to humans. I still don't understand why we need to go to space. I know I'm going to get roasted here for saying this. And ye

Hey there -- I came across your blog a year or so ago via the Rpi Drupal stack. Cool stuff. I didn't realize you had such a large YouTube presence. I'm curious how you got started. You seem to be quite interested in Ansible so I i

This is an extremely important topic. OP I think you are sort of shooting yourself (and the topic) in the foot with the use of "shit" -- can you not use a more descriptive word please?

Hey so this is awesome, and I'd like to add a few points. (I used to teach HS Math in NYC Public Schools). - End scanning[1]. Scanning is the practice of forcing students to put their possessions through x-ray machines and walk their b

This is absolutely not straw man. Just because one changes prisons from "private" prisons to "state" prisons doesn't change the fundamental issue of putting humans in cages.

A lot of people here have some pretty solid writing advice. Something you can do to passively improve your writing is to read. Honestly read anything you're interested in, but if your goal is to really improve a certain type of writing

So this is one of the few books that I have re-read. First I read it in high school, secondly as an adult. I was severely let down. I'd go into details why, but I think this sums it up pretty well: https://en.wikipedia.org&#

So I know this is the opposite of what OP is asking, but I've taken the stance recently that I won't re-read another book. There are books that I would like to re-read, but they come at the opportunity cost of reading others. A fe

You have a typo, I believe: "There is no such thing as bad writer." needs an " a " after the "as". Or maybe that's your intention? In which case, I find it distracting and could take away credibility for y

Discipline and Punish by Michel Foucault fundamentally changed the way I look at things like school and work. Essentially, they're systems of discipline and control masquerading as something very different. Skip all the Malcom Gladwell

I "saved up" for The Glass Bead Game - reading about 7 Hesse books before going for his magnum opus. I was severely let down by it. It's all over the place, sloppy. I thought perhaps it was because of the loss in German-->

I'm curious what it is that you do for work? You mention not making money from Go (or programming) -- what are your goals? Is it a startup kind of thing, or employment as a developer? I feel like you could probably get a job if you&#x2

I had this problem as well on a 13" MacBook Pro. My "fix" was to go HDMI to USB-C (instead of Thunderbold to USB-C). I understand this might not be viable for everyone, but it resolved the issue for me.

Their Google status is irrelevant. The nature of their comment is that there's a propensity to emulate big tech when it's not needed. Off the top of my head: Kubernetes, microservices. My citation is news.ycombinator.com.

OP, I'd be curious to hear more how you structure your lessons for an online environment. This post mostly details how you [technically] teach online classes. For the many teachers who are now in a remote environment, what should they

Do you have a centralized logging system in place e.g. Kibana to monitor bugs? This was a major turning point for my team. Without any visibility/stats it's hard to know what is even happening and thus what an "acceptable&quo
