It happens in your phone contacts when you’re deciding who to talk to. You’re starting with your Abrahams, Billys and Changs, probably rarely reaching out to your Xaviers, Yusufs and Zeldas about going out tonight because you’ve already ass

I agree with the arguments presented. However, having recently used a game engine for the first time in my life, I plan to use them for demos/prototypes (or more specifically, game jams) from here on out, because the speed with which y

As a libertarian I’m against this. As a smoker I support it 100%. Conundrum.

With great difficulty considering I’m outside the US long term and it turns out a lot of financial institutions’ security measures include “block all IPs from Asia” But ultimately I used TaxSlayer, web based. I’m sure they leaked my data bu

As a native speaker: I think “across” (while understandable from context) is the wrong preposition because to me that would imply a diametric traversal, not circumspect, eg, halfway across would land you in the core of the earth. Half way

Nobody wants to support old tech forever, regardless of any personal or financial value in doing so. People don’t use USB in their car anymore they use Bluetooth. People don’t mess with their BIOS anymore (boy are computer manufacturers and

It sounds bad from the headline but from the article it looks like most of them had judgements against them for unpaid employees. Admittedly in at least some of the cases it was the overseas parent company that stopped paying and the locall

It’s about the moral contract with yourself, but that’s your business and no one else’s. If you compare your values to those of your CEO, or anyone, then you’ve likely lost sight of that. You become fearful of being who you want to be and f

As tempting as it is having been unemployed for fifteen months to get indignant, if someone can hold down two simultaneous jobs those jobs are probably not worth having. I could have worked a second job while at my last. That’s a big part o

When people use Tailwind’s @apply directive as discussed in the linked article, do you realize you’re just doing normal CSS with all the same amount of debugging and design consideration, but with additional compilation overhead and an addi

One of my last employers did this and I begged them to just let a couple people work a five day schedule that included Saturday and or Sunday (I wanted to be one of those people) so we could deploy any day, trouble shoot any day, but they w

Classic: authors trying to take their texts to the grave. We also wouldn’t have The Master and Margarita if Bulgakov’s wife had respected his death bed wish to have it burnt.

About two decades ago when I was a young programmer C was used as an example of a functional programming language because functions are first class citizens. But according to interviews I’ve had in the last decade I guess functional program

Last year I was briefly contracting somewhere using a Scala x PureScript stack. I believe their reasoning for picking PureScript in the first place out of other compiled JS options was conceptual similarity to Scala. I would claim cons for

Dang I was hoping for a blog post explaining their experience with F# and rationale for switching to Java, not a job posting.

Clothing keeps me warm, dry, protected from insects or pokey plants. I don’t wear clothing to propagate clothing, I wear it to protect myself. You might be conflating clothing with fashion.

Don’t use the strict equality operator if type inequality should short circuit to false. It is 30-70% faster to check for equality of the result of typeof, and only when true to check value equality. This makes no sense to me, since checkin

In a heartbeat. I in fact have suggested I would take a pay cut to a few prior employers in exchange for reduced hours but never went through with it because they said I’d be ineligible for health care or retirement contributions.

Not nearly as cheap as a Netflix account. In most markets you can get probably five joints tops for the same price as a streaming service’s monthly cost. Or, by god, they just give away endless books at libraries. You don’t even need any mo

American here, YMMV. I deleted my linkedin in 2014. Recruiters never follow through. Only for my very first job was my professional network involved beyond verifying my identity (they told me the job was open but could not really put their

PureScript made some ergonomically painful decisions (I value the logic behind their implementation of tuples but not having to use them in such a way), but I think the biggest point against it is how Haskell is moving into that space via J

My friends who watch/ed anime all have kids whereas the two or three who never really got into it are willfully abstaining from parenthood. My anecdotal experience trumps your bland joke.
