Bostonian here, I used to commute on one every day (MBTA 71 and 73), but they were taken out of service earlier this year, for eventual EV replacement. The problem with electric trolley busses is that they can't pass each other, they p

I grew up in the 90s and really loved software like Creative Writer, KidPix, 3D Movie Maker, etc. What's the landscape like for kids today? Is it all mobile apps?

Getting off SSRIs varies from person to person. Typically if you're careful to slowly taper down your dose you shouldn't experience any weird side effects. I can quit cold-turkey from a high dose without issue, but that seems to b

I had severe social phobia, generalized anxiety, and OCD growing up. After some time switching medications I started on citalopram (escitalopram is the reverse isomer and closely related) in my late teens. It changed my life massively for t

Unreal gets a 5% royalty on every game. Unity is a subscription model, they don't get more money out of wildly successful games like Hearthstone or Pokemon Go. Their solution to this is adding more over-the-top services like analytics

Their exclusive games (The Last of Us, God of War, Returnal, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Bloodborne, etc) are pretty incredible. This is pretty concerning, but few remember the 17 year old rootkit scandal or that they discontinued PS3 support for L

I had regularly listened to a podcast for years when the host (Ryan Davis of Giant Bomb) tragically passed suddenly. It was bizarre, like I had lost a friend I had never met.

GitHub is running a complex, planet-scale product. I think w they've crossed the threshold where doing it yourself is more likely to be reliable for some use cases. We've been running GitLab on GKE for the past three years, no pro

In the United States public school system, a student with special needs is given an Individualized Education Program (IEP) which is required by law. This entitles them to additional support and resources through the public school system. Th

Elon isn't the founder of Tesla, he's the CEO of Tesla. I'm pretty sure Henry Ford isn't Ford's current CEO.

Most recently I loved Norco, a sci-fi "alternate present" adventure game set in a petroleum refining town outside of New Orleans, where you return home to investigate what your mother was researching before she died.

My favorites from the past decade: Soma, a science fiction horror game around the idea of transplanted consciousness. It's a common sci-fi theme but Soma handles it much better than most and adds a very interesting setting. What Remain

WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted for all messages by default, so Telegram is worse by having full access to the plaintext for the vast majority of messages on the service.

From my experience, Kubernetes drastically reduces the number of DevOps people required. My current place has a team of 5, compared to a similarly sized, vmware-centric place I worked at a decade ago with a team of 14. But DevOps means many

I really mean that no other big chat service federated back. The global network of federated XMPP servers was dwarfed by Google's userbase. Maybe if AIM/MSN/Yahoo added an XMPP bridge they would have kept it.

I was a weird XMPP nerd in high school and tried to switch friends from AIM. So here's my experience. * Onboarding was difficult. There was no obvious choice of server or client to use. * Adding friends was difficult. You needed to sen

I immediately play with it and slowly build up a prototype publicly so I get input from other engineers. I think a short feedback cycle on anything complex is key, so you don't over-invest.

I picked up a 49" Samsung Odyssey ultrawide. It looks ridiculous but it's such a game changer. It's effectively two decent sized 4K screens glued together and is much nicer than the awkwardness of multiple displays. It's

Wow, we handle PHI and this is absolutely not acceptable. Glad we're not using New Relic but I'm terrified of Datadog doing this in the future.

I mean, there's a third, the video game nerd who can afford a $180 toy. The fact that you get 24 games from well known indie developers makes it an easier pill to swallow. I might get a second revision of this. It's neat, but it n

Android allows for alternative stores, like F-Droid. I would love to see those phones take off, but at the very least they'd need great Android runtime support.

Computer Chronicles was a PBS series that ran for 20 years and captured a lot of computer history as it happened, it's a great watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/user/ComputerChroniclesYT
