I got my start in programming from Lua in 2007 because I got into Roblox back in middle school. I'm surprised it's still kicking in 2023. I first had to take a "CS101"-style course back in 2011 in college because it was

If it's improving, it sure isn't including me. It's been 14 months since getting laid off and all I'm getting are rejection e-mails, scams that say I got a position without any interviews, and recruiters who call/e-

A couple of other underappreciated tools I've found in writing stuff are things that help with writers' block and determining what would happen. In my case, the Mythic Game Master Emulator[0] and the Adventure Crafter[1] from Word

A Framework laptop. The replaceable extension ports were a godsend at first but since my current configuration was found most effective (2 USB-C ports, 1 USB-A port, 1 HDMI port), that's been static. It's a nice feature to have fo

The AeroPress[0] really is a wonder and a half. The AeroPress Go (more portable) version is perfect for taking to an office if you want a cup or two instead of chugging the whole pot. Definitely seconding the decade-old recommendation aft

You're likely right. I was remembering having to disassemble old iMacs (pre-2009) for a college job but they were ancient enough to be Torx instead. Not a fan of machines that require a plunger just to get the RAM out to be honest.

At least the parts and DIY effort to fix it along with the cost of two pairs of joysticks is equal to the $15/yr service (via Amazon). Not that it justifies the flaw, but that coupled with playing while docked via Pro Controller would
