I have a five year old Kindle White, which I really like. I'm a little nervous about the white/blue light affecting my sleep, though....

My immediate family (brother, some nieces) all share a nice What's App group. Way more rewarding when someone posts something to that than FB feed. Also, have various groups with former co-workers, etc. I've replaced bland, mean

I completely agree with this. Having spent the first half of my professional life without the always on-internet in my pocket, I couldn't agree more. And even now, I have to force myslef to distraction free time to try and read, and i

I agree, at 2.4M/year, i'm surprised you don't get more. we spend about 150k/month on Azure services, and it seems like we get a lot more service and roadmap influence....

I think it depends on the problem set and where one works, etc. There's a lot of use cases where getting it over the wall is perfectly acceptable and what the business needs. I can cite numerous incidents where a lot of code was desig

I didn't think young people used the Facebook brand anymore? If all the stories that have been published about that are to be believed.

Taking a screen shot hard on Windows? Windows-shift-S lets you grab a region vs macbook's shift-command-3 or 4 or 5, or whatever it is (I don't currentlyy have a mac). anyway, I will say that WSL is a lot better than what we had,

Most my friends went back to grad school and retrained for other professions, too, like attorneys and some optometrists. I think what's a bigger risk these days is just how much tech talent if off-shored to other parts of the world, ev

How accurate are the rest of the districts? Or were there some tweaks to make it work out as the alphabet a little better? Pretty amazing, though.

They are coming summer 2020, for about $2200. (I think it's been delayed a few times). They look cool. But for my personal use, not $2200 cool.

I really wish the mainstream media could pick up more on this, and instead of framing all these breaches and news as Identity Theft, reframe them to the credit companies offloading burden of risk onto consumers. Most people don't even

Not always. Managers sometimes like the people on their teams, and don't want to fire them. That's when someone else notices the team needs shaking up, or overhears conversations that are unsettling, etc. Also step-over meetings

I worked as a dev manager at a large org and definitely didn't have firing powers. It involved a process with HR, and following a pretty riggid pip-ing process, paperwork, etc, so that there's accountability at all levels. I'

They are reporting their users now across Whatsapp, instagram, and FB. While almost everyone I know hardly logs into the FB property, we're still really active on WhatsApp.....and that counts towards their 2.5b monthly user metric.

I should add that we didn't get into dotnetcore until 2.0 release era. So many there was a ton of pain with the first version?

I'm not sure what you mean? We've been running dot net core apps in prod for awhile now, and I'm not sure what you mean about naming and versioning schemes? Are you talking about the difference between the legacy .NET Framewo

THis is cool to hear about, since I've been considering an NVidia Shield TV for awhile now for some other use cases. But being able to play my Steam collection, without having a PC around would be awesome, too. In fact, I really don&#

I'd assume that the store throwing out some of the waste before hitting shelves would likely be done by the meal prep companies too. But agree on the consumer waste

All the people looking at their phones in grocery line, while riding the train, waiting for anything, while paused at a stop light in their car, it's everywhere.

I just watched that 10 part documentary on Netflix about the Vietnam war. They referenced several times how our M-16s were inferior to the AK's that were being supplied to the Vietcong. And that the M16s would jam and were unreliable..

I'm just fine reading them on an iPad, though. I typically download the epub from their site and upload it to Google Play Books, so I can access it from all my devices. The latest book "C#, In Depth", Fourth Edition is really
