It’s interesting to see how their devices evolved from insanely modular to putting everything on one big board. I highly doubt we’ll see it but I’d love to see a fatter MacBook Pro that is fully modular.

Trying to cut down on phone time/doom scrolling has been a focus of mine the past few weeks. I've been able to help mitigate but not get rid of it with the following: 1. Apollo for Reddit on iOS has a toggle for infinite scrolli

I prefer Gartner’s Hype Cycle[1] way of displaying this. This post seems pretty inspired by it but the removal of the graph really makes it harder to grok quickly. Still, the trend seems to be: 1. New technology, over promises 2. Marketing

Something I’ve found interesting with cable vs. streaming services is that when cable was the only option, people didn’t like that you had to get the sports package to somehow get the history channel. In addition to this, it’s extremely dif

Can someone explain to me how about a decade ago we were going to run out of IPv4 addresses in a matter of months and we needed to switch to IPv6 or else , but now we’re still using it fine?

Congratulations! Whenever a friend reaches out to me and asks how to learn a specific language or learn to program, I always recommend books over online courses like Code Academy. The reason I recommend books is because the assumed vetting

Obviously different medications have different side effects, but I started taking fluoxetine (Prozac) over a year ago. The first 6-8 weeks were ROUGH. The mood swings were unbearable. It did even out after that and I’m stable now. The night

This is a great idea and something that I would argue is required given all of the different “standards” manufacturers use these days. It’s probably a long shot but I’d love to see them all together to build a standard across all RGB device

I was skeptical before reading this. Now I’m even more skeptical. It seems like we’d just be letting the pandemic define us. While my life has changed, in the short scheme, my grand scheme really hasn’t. We may see changes in the world afte

My previous employer went all in on ditching their RHEL boxes for CentOS. I wonder how that change is treating them now. Given this change by Red Hat/IBM, was it wasted effort? I wonder if they’ll now switch back to RHEL.

I haven’t seen groups in the games I play use Teamspeak or Ventrilo in probably 5-10 years. There was a push to Mumble a few years back and it seems like as soon as Discord hit the market it just took over. Do certain games still lean towar

I think that's a fair interpretation as well.

I think the comments in this thread are testament enough to how divided this is. What I've found interesting is that there seem to be three sides to this, one with an overwhelming majority and two that are too extreme to really be appe

I went from a DXRacer to an Aeron. The DXRacers are actually pretty comfortable for long term sitting and the lumbar support pillow was helpful for my back. However, since the switch my back has been much more comfortable sitting for longer

I saw it somewhere online, maybe WebMD. They called it the 3-3-3 technique. It's supposed to ground you. It worked for me, but your mileage may vary.

I’ve found that while the majority of people are trying to stay one step ahead, there are always those that feel they do know what’s going on completely. However, because they think they’re in the know, it’s very often that their opinions a

To be honest, compared to all of those with the exception of maybe Rocketchat, it has way more features and integrations. I don't think it's a fair assessment to compare to to WhatsApp, MS Messenger, FB Messenger because those hav

While mentoring is only a chapter in this book, I strongly recommend Soft Skills: A software developer’s life manual [1][2]. I think you’ll find the mentoring chapter really useful, but the rest of the book is a must have if you’re a softwa

I’ve picked up Kubernetes as a topic of learning this year. Now that I’ve had a few months of deeply focusing on it, including migrating Apache Spark jobs from YARN to K8s, I’m changing my focus. My focus from now until the end of the year

Another not surprising shift away from Medium. When starting my own blog this year, I was debating between Medium and self-hosting solutions like WordPress and Ghost. When asked “why not Medium?” My answer was usually “I don’t want my conte

If you use the latest tag of your base image, this is definitely true. It can vary by official image, but I’ve noticed a lot of them will tag a version and leave it untouched until a new version is released. But, it is technically possible

I’ve found that tools like Xamarin or frameworks like React Native are convenient, and quick but in the “quality” department are lacking. I put quality in quotes because it’s not that you can’t build great apps with them, but that you’re de
