People are disgusting and I have zero desire to share a vehicle with another person let alone thousands of people. There will be no shift in mindset. No. Just no.

Among the growing list of documentaries I would love to watch, but have yet to find, Amazon's logistlics solutions is one at the top. Would be very cool to get a deep look at how all the various types of orders are handled.

The patent is really only half of the story here. The bigger question is why does the US Navy own this patents? And, how does this relate to the pill shaped UFO that navy pilots verified having seen over the last decade performing antigrav

Maybe, but the patent is also owned by the US Navy. Why? And what does this have to do - if anything - with the same shape UFO reported by the US Navy in 2004?

I don't do it all day either. I usually try to get a minimum of 3 walking hours per day. So in an 8 hour day, those can be any time. The rest of the day I sit.

I walk while typing. It's not difficult. What I DON'T walk while doing is - really cognitively challenging tasks OR learning something difficult/new, because that is markedly more difficult while walking. If I really need to

Fellow programmers - If you have a standing desk but find it difficult to stand for hours, I highly recommend an under desk treadmill. I picked up a Treadly treadmill a few years ago and have logged hundreds of miles of walking while progra

I think everyone wrestles with this a little bit. Should you really dig in and focus on mobile, web, server, game, firmware? If so, should you focus on one language? I don't so much question paths in my life as I feel very lucky to ha

Pretty sweet project and from browsing the source I learned about a very cool fintech lib I'd never heard of: Plaid. Gets the cogs turning with ideas. Thanks for the post.
