I think it's interesting to compare Pullman to another company town just 15 miles to the east: Gary, Indiana. It makes me wonder how different Gary would be today if it had been annexed by Chicago like Pullman was.

It depends on what your career goals are. In most cases (for example, if you want to work as a software engineer or want to start a company), it’s probably not worth the opportunity cost (i.e. having a year of actual work experience would b

It's desktop only (no Android or iOS support) which makes me wonder: what percentage of overall podcast listening occurs on a desktop computer? Polls on this are all over the place, but I would guess maybe 10-15%? For me, podcast liste

You're welcome! And I think you're right, the privacy issues probably aren't a concern for the average user.

When I got into C++ several years ago, I read "A Tour of C++" by the creator of C++, Bjarne Stroustrup, and thought it was quite good: https://www.stroustrup.com/tour2.html The second edition is from 2018 and uses

Yes, their original vision was b2c, but they pivoted to b2b. The reason is that AR is currently too expensive (and frankly not polished enough) for consumers, but it is good enough for industrial applications where it’s worth the cost.

Hololens 2 uses hand tracking for interaction (which works really well!), so it's surprising to see a controller device being used with the Magic Leap 2. Apparently ML's hand tracking tech isn't ready yet? If you're a co

People are overreacting to Unity's acquisition (technically a merger) of ironSource and Riccitiello's comments on monetization. Many developers want to make money from their games, so I think it's positive and worthwhile for

That's fair—driving to Indiana from the north side of Chicago can be surprisingly grueling. And taking the train there isn't ideal if you want to take a cooler and beach gear.

USB-C is already becoming the norm, though. The market is working, and it's not necessary to make it illegal to invent an alternative that may be better. What makes this regulation extra baffling, though, is that everyone already has t

The far left wing of the Democratic party is out of touch with the values and priorities of most Americans. This will go nowhere, which is good, because we don't need the federal government dictating product design to companies.

As an American, it's strange to see people applaud such overreaching regulation that will stifle innovation. This really underscores and makes me appreciate the differing regulatory philosophies between the EU and the US.
