Along with the Facebook Container I use multi-account containers to keep a Google, Microsoft, and Amazon container as well. I included all of their children companies in the parent containers (like GitHub in Microsoft, YouTube in Google).

The SAAS I work for started out as the owner building pages on whatever dreamweaver was popular 15 years ago, and that templating engine still haunts us today. Our development cycle is painfully slow because of all of the copy-pasting that

I also use a digitalocean droplet for my development, but I'm programming in Python, bash, JavaScript/HTML/CSS, PHP, MySQL. I wouldn't do this if I were using Java, Java without an IDE is painful.

Jim Carey gave a commencement speech that went viral a couple years ago, he said the same thing most successful people say (deeply paraphrased here): You have to work really hard and go for it. However, working hard is a necessary conditi

I said I didn't want to make presumptions specifically about the parent post's personal situation. I do not think there are only two issues. I did say the categories are hard to define. First paragraph of Wikipedia's Narco

If you mean they fried their brain then sure, that's bad and that's definitely one of the risks. But if it's just the Steve Jobs style "I see the world differently now" then to me it seems okay for the PhD to reali

I don't want to make presumptions about your experience so I'll try to speak broadly, and if this contradicts your experience I'd be happy to have you expand my view. I think there's two categories of drugs and it's

I don't want to start a distro ware here but... Ubuntu is really opinionated about the UX and if you want to change or fix anything you have to get kind of hacky. Sometimes when I woke my computer of from sleep it would ignore the key

The difference between charisma and narcissism may be in the eye of the beholder. However, I can think of a few people in my life that are personable and incredibly genuine; the kind of person that seems to draw the best out in others. I

I began thinking of grit and will power as muscles that get stronger with exercise. I don't know if it's actually true but I'm okay with placeboing myself on this one. You exercise it anytime you face being uncomfortable wi

I think this is a cool project, but yeah of course they're stretching the definition a little bit. "Backpack powered laminar flow propane torch" doesn't get you 12mil views on youtube.

I'm absolutely blown away by some of the games they managed to make in under 13kb. This video "How we fit an NES game into 40 Kilobytes" is an interesting illustration of just how small these games are. https://ww

I experimented with putting replacing some of the number row, I replaced 9 with backspace. It never occurred to me to put the ctrl/alt/shift family up there though, that's really genius.

The grandparent to my post was talking about politics, not repetition. I shouldn't have strayed and conceded that it's repetitive because this is my point: hacker-politics is on topic here.

I don't think that's a fair comparison. The Julian Assange saga is about hacking, privacy, three-letter-agency overreach in the tech sphere, etc. I think it's the "hacker" half of the "hacker-politics" t

I came here to say the language part. Sometimes no dictionary will translate the thing that you want, you have to use Wikipedia to translate it. It's also great for language study, hopping back and forth between your target language

I'm sure mileage may vary, but I'm lucky to be at a company where the dev team has a great relationship with QA. I think you're right, having a good culture around it is important. I'm more impressed than I am annoyed
