   I have a pair of big, deep, wooden lacquered coffee mugs (I think they're actually meant for tea or soup) that I got on a trip to Japan. I'd always wanted a wooden mug but the ones I found online were super bulky and expensive, on

    The Philippines has some special laws on the books to make the country more friendly to outsourced jobs like telemarketing and support. I know there are specifics for foreign PII protection for example, you might want to see if anything exi

    430+ repos here, corporate setting, its not great but we use some custom scripts (validate users, groups, which repos are allowed to be public), strict documentation, and quarterly auditing. We have a lot of strict requirements around branc

    In 2012 or so we doubled down on jQuery UI, specifically the widget factory and a few dozen custom widgets extended from a custom parent widget. That application is STILL in production today, chugging along in both the private and public se
