I grew up 15 minutes from Levittown, PA. I even had to do an undergrad research project on it. The development is boring and pointless but packed with lower middle class families. A place where there's only a driveway for one or two ca

What bothers me about all these is how irrelevant they all are to actual day to day programming on a project. Like okay cool you know how to do the Fibonacci exercise. What now? Do you know how to write SQL queries? Have you ever mapped an

I work out of Indyhall. Philly's most popular coworking space. I'm using Philly Whisper right now. We only use it because Comcast couldn't keep our connection working. We're literally on Market street two blocks from Ind

So I'm a web dev but in a previous role we bought a 2 man company that made medical renders. I ended up making them a mini-SAS Raid 5 made out of SSDs. This is before M.2 started taking off. That thing did 1.1 Gigabyte/sec write o

This Driving in the United States is very region dependent. In cities it's everyone for themselves. Lots of speeding and general shenanigans. Especially Boston, Philly, NYC, Baltimore, SF, LA, DC, and Miami. In the mid west drivers a

If you buy their support (which isn't that expensive). Holy fuck it's good. You literally have an infrastructure support engineer on the phone for hours with you. They will literally show you how to spend less money for your hosti

Bitcoin itself wasn't hacked. They stole the keys from a server most likely. I don't think it's possible to harden a modern OS against some potential hacker on the internet. Especially when we know that 0-days are sold and tr

I own a 2014 MBP I use as my main work laptop. I also own a desktop running Windows 10. I currently maintain a VSCode dev environment for my coworkers who all use Windows. We switched from XAMPP and Eclipse for PHP development to WSL with V

I ordered Redkin shampoo and got a knock off just last week. Bottle was the wrong color and my girlfriend could tell right away that it wasn't the genuine product. At this point I'm not sure I'm going to be keeping my Amazon

They also de-list older versions of popular packages like PHP 7.0. A package manager should never de-list. There are many valid reasons why someone might want to install an old version of a package. As a user I'm not a big fan of the o

What exactly is the injustice? AI being used for military applications? Most of these AI algorithms are open source and available on Github for anyone to use. The military is still gonna have their big bad robot with a gun that can immediat

Sorry but no chance. For one it's not actually bad for you. A good meat stew for example is a culinary staple in almost every culture in the entire world and is considered both healthy and hardy. You can't say the same thing about

The public platform needs to be decentralized. We need a social protocol where the data lives in the protocol and not in some corporate server where it is subject to their whims. We currently live in a dystopia where your Twitter or Faceboo

The math: We currently bring in 3.34 trillion in tax revenue per year. Our outstanding debt is 22 trillion with a yearly 2% interest payment of $440 billion. If the debt hits 174.2 trillion (which is only x8 what it is now) then we will hav

It turns out that not defining a structure to your model makes it easy to prototype but difficult to query the data afterwards. Which is why MongoDB is awesome for teaching and building new stuff but horrible for reports, metrics, and scali

The new Google Chat for G Suites is actually not even chat. Each chatroom is a collection of Google Wave style cards that jump over each other as activity happens in different ones. The experience is so bad I wrote a blog post about it here
