I think a lot of people just don’t really know what they want their career to be when they go into university. Or they think they do but are incorrect. That was certainly the case with me. I started in General Studies, then decided I wanted

I say this every time it comes up. I would happily pay $5/month for a “platinum” branded Firefox browser if that $5 would go to support development costs. I’d love to have other people see it when I share my screen both inside and outs

I have worked with an extremely complex system in the past (Genesys Engage telephony) and their configuration was so complex that changing even the most innocuous attribute in the most seemingly unrelated object could bring the system to it

So, because we cannot eliminate every issue with regulation, we shouldn't have any regulation? Surely the answer is in "just the right amount" of regulation. Getting to this sweet spot is a process, but one human societies ha

I’m not accusing GP of this necessarily, but quite often the view “since we can’t know everything, we can’t know anything” is considered wisdom. To the GP: we all understand that your experience isn’t the same experience of everyone, but it

Sometimes I feel like most of my headache is in just getting that first request to hit ngrok. Then I’ll replay it dozens of times as I figure out the functionally.

Interesting. I feel the exact opposite. The tech industry’s fascination with libertarian values have brought about the disastrous consequences of putting free speech on a pedestal, with utter disregard for the harms it has caused. And liber
