The iPhone X had Apple’s best camera. Every version since has over processed its photos. Like an E30 BMW, I wish Apple would have never stopped making that device.

I’m kinda getting tired of journalists and politicians who make obvious statements like “Reducing the risk of nuclear war should be a key concern.” Duh! We already know that.

True statement. I lost a finger tip in a mandolin making potatoes lyonnaise. It mostly grew back. However, it has never felt the same. It's like the nerve endings in the finger tip throw unhandled exceptions. Some say properly cooked f

I’ll sacrifice myself at the alter of Steve Jobs. I have a 2018 MacBook Pro with a 6-core CPU and 32GB of RAM and I absolutely love it (with exception to the Touch Bar which sucks if you’re a VIM user). Once you get used to the butterfly ke

I don’t remember how I found it, but after flipping through a few pages of Programming Erlang, Software for a Concurrent World, I was hooked. Through this book, and others I learned how to code and got a job at a big tech company at age 37.

I have always felt that not paying prison guards enough would encourage corruption. If you’re a prison guard and are barely scraping buy, would you be tempted to smuggle in drugs for the inmates if that meant lining your wallet with a few h

This fiasco is mostly on the government. The unlimited supply of student loan $ has enabled universities to not have to control costs like they would have had to if these $ were not as freely available.

There's a section in this book that discusses the inability of a narcissist to fix a motorcycle. As a software engineer with narcissistic tendencies, that section really struck a nerve, and inspired me to dive way deeper into our syste

Does anybody think having a gigantic e-ink desktop monitor would be rad for coding? The refresh rate might be a killer, but I wonder how your eyes would feel after 8 hours compared to an conventional monitor.

Vancouver's climate/geography is a feature, not a bug. Mountain biking, climbing, and skiing in Vancouver is amazing. And you don't have to drive two or three hours to get there. It's literally right outside your front d

What happens when the first person gets killed while riding in an autonomous vehicle? Do companies who make them get sued into oblivion? Will customers stop riding in them regardless of whether or not statistics suggest they are safer than

Yelp suffers from the 4 stars problem. In my neighborhood Taco Time, the French Bakery, and a handful of upscale restaurants each average 4 stars on Yelp. So what does a 4 star rating even mean? It obviously has nothing to do with ambiance

Can we stop naming software "Hydra"? At my company alone there are several tools and libraries that go by the name of Hydra. Each time someone refers to Hydra, you have to clarify which tool/library they are talking about.

Go nails code readability and documentation better than any other language I'm aware of. For example, look at the package documentation for Go's list data structure at http://golang.org/pkg/container/list/ . 5 seconds of reading this you i

Very moving. Now inverse the situation, where it's your child who dies. The pain would be at least 2x worse. And this is what happened in Connecticut today.

I don't know what Apple stole/didn't steal. But do you remember what the number 1 selling phone was before the iPhone? According to Wikipedia it was a Nokia 1200. I had a Motorola Razr. Jobs and Apple were a decade ahead of their competitio
