I used to think open plan offices were full of noisy distractions. Now I yearn for the relative peace of a child-free zone. I'll miss the 4pm beers and sneaky trips to the beach though.

Yeah I understand why there are rules to protect workers, the environment, disabled customers, city aesthetics and more. But it does end up making it a huge barrier for anyone to do anything. I'd like to think I'd do a good job st

Wow is that old fashioned local software without a subscription. I didn't know that was available, sounds perfect. I'm a guy that only wants to upgrade every 5 years and the subscriptions are offensively expensive.

I'm a bit surprised this is a criminal offense. What control does the FTC have over storage of personal data anyway?

Its amazing to me that Javascript used to be the ugly stepchild that no one wanted to play with but had to, and now is so popular that it influences mainstream compiled languages.

America is great. Online gambling is illegal but you can have an app to punt the market all day. Options might as well be roulette for most people.
