I've been liking Eden Reforestation ( https://edenprojects.org/ ), which employs local populations to plant trees in deforested areas. Ecosia is listed on their Partner page, so I'd assumed that's how it works

Agreed regarding sit/stand desk. The prices of these things are off-putting, but I was able to get a new workstation for around $600. I ended up ordering a base [0], and bolted on an 8'x3' melamine sheet from Home Depot [1]

I've used myself, friends/family, a lawyer, my CPA firm, and one of the cheaper national services out there. The best was my CPA firm, because they handle mail like clockwork and contacted me through email when I got something, ev

Likewise. I spent 18 years there and hadn't known about Vanport. When I encountered racism I'd usually classified it as random, vestigial pieces of the past, or perhaps redneckery (while we're judging), and I do remember a

I've written off aesthetics my entire coding career (15 years), blaming color-blindness, but exactly in the way you speak. I often wonder whether design is even a thing I could get better at. I'm reminded of a Dummies book I rea

Yep. I'd add delusion to your list of echo-chamber-friendly conditions. Faith/Religion are one case people like to yell about, but you have plenty of nibiru/reptilian/fema-camp/bill-gates-is-a-eugenicist people who

Even a link dump is curated to some extent, no? If it's on this page, somebody thought I might be interested. I often use youtube as my primary search engine, and that's working well. While the recommended videos (without search

I've gone through more of these than I can count. They've all ended as victories, but that's just because my luck hasn't changed yet. Thanks for messaging this up, angersock. Double thanks if you're one of the kin

I don't fear that, so much as that she would facilitate it or fail to act to prevent it. I don't care about most of the content of the OP's page, but I'm not really willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when it co

Powder keg or not, a Privacy concern would certainly influence my decision of whether or not to use their APIs in my software, especially on behalf of consumers. They've been trying to attract developers to their API, and they just lo

I don't feel this site goes far enough. As someone who values privacy, I feel I've already been slighted with this decision, and I don't plan on forgiving Dropbox for it if they change their mind. I'm cancelling my pai

I use eclipse for java development. There were huge flamewars on theserverside.com about IDE's, but in the end the top three are all pretty solid when a full IDE is warranted.

Yeah, it's really hard, but I think you're on to something that would be really useful. For connection pooling, if there were an easy way to set the schema search path prior to using a connection object in application code, somet

I really like this idea. Have you found any persistence frameworks that support the use of schemas WITH connection pools? Also, running multiple versions of a domain model concurrently seems like it'd be a headache.

Speaking only from my own experience, the Microsoft shops I worked in were quick to regurgitate the FUD talking points that Microsoft had been spreading. This strengthened my Anti-MS resolve instead of weakening it, and the shops since the

I've actually ordered and built a couple of these spikerboxes with my wife. In addition to the experiments being incredibly entertaining, assembling the kit was a fantastic intro to soldering and basic analog circuits.
