I try to mention this every time I notice any major publications (WSJ, WaPo, NYT, Economist, Bloomberg, HBR) post basically trash under their main, but especially their "Opinion" channels. I think they're trying to reckon wit

There's been no change, in fact the numbers have gone up because the program has become even more competitive. Some people in my year (2016) couldn't leave Canada due to visa issues. Most who left are still in the States. 2018s ha

As an Android developer on apparently one of the N biggest apps there are, lots of hard truths but also lots of 'I like things this way so I don't think things any other way is fine'. It's problematic and in an ideal wor

`git shortlog -sne --oneline --since='Jan 1 2010'` I like running the above command because it gives a good sense of coding productivity at the very least. And then you can dig into specific people to understand why exactly they h

Books don't have white backgrounds, it's usually a lighter gray, which doesn't introduce the contrast problem. This is also a problem for text on printer paper, where most people would benefit from a larger font and slightly

Definitely don't have the experience asking these questions, but I think this would be much better served as a question to the hiring manager and as follow-up questions post-interview, as opposed to "confrontations" during th

There's no difference side-by-side between 1080p and 4K resolution if you're 5ft or further away from the TV[1], all else being equal. However, all else is rarely equal, and 4K TVs now have lots of other features and technology th
