Apparently, I've been doing lat pull-downs the wrong way for like 20 years, using too much biceps instead of the lats. Took a trainer just a few minutes to correct me and I def feel the difference.

A pair of Sennheiser Hd58x's from Drop. I never want to use ear buds again. Really loving the 'open back' experience, makes me feel less claustrophobic and the sound quality is amazing. Really enjoying just sitting around lis

Not tech related, other than using tech to promote it, but music. I tried a go at making a name for myself 10 years ago and failed. Now, I'm finally ready to write and record an album but I don't care if anyone listens to it. Just

It's funny how our brains work, eh? I find I'm the complete opposite. I need two monitors so things are right there in my face. I get distracted switching tabs. Thanks a lot ADHD.

Is it possible to refactor it to use AWS Lambda so it's only using the compute power it needs, rather than maintaining infra? Aka, "serverless"

Def brings me back. I remember being a young n00b hacker, running openwindows on slackware, wishing I had a real, live SPARCstation of my own.

Misinformation for one of them. Previous US elections, and now COVID, have highlighted how misinformation is both extremely potent/viral, and literally deadly.

Code, code, code, and code some more. Learn the technologies and do tutorials, yes. But make your own stuff, and also learn the fundamentals. My company is having a hell of a time finding junior level people who actually know how to solve

I draw the line at "its a private organization, their network, and they can do whatever they want".

So? What's wrong with not wanting hate speech and white supremacy on your network? They can do what they like, their network, their rules.

Apply anyway. Most companies are scratching the bottom of the barrel right now for people. Those ads are always 'nice to haves'.

It took me a few job hunting attempts before I realized being honest was a bad idea. In the mean time, I fought hard and pushed my then boss to give me a substantial raise. I then left shortly thereafter ...

Quite the opposite. I didn't take my career seriously enough in my 20's, didn't save retirement, and had to make up a lot of ground. Spent 10 years in a dead end job, being underpaid. It was hard even finding a new gig becaus

I've used MS Money and their "cash flow forecast" for just this style of budgeting for close to 20 years now. The software was discontinued 5 years ago. No app since has had as good a cash flow forecast. I admit it's a c

So, that's cool and all. I love green tech. And I hate fossil fuels. Buuuuuuut, aren't we going to have the same issue with supplies of lithium that we are having with fossil fuels? Unless we have a dramatic shift in renewable bat

What's wrong with a todo app? I'm about to embark on making one, with React, so I can have a completely private, bespoke todo app that's tailored precisely to what I want and need.

It was painful. I'm mostly referring to legacy apps like online bill payment and stuff, especially ones that also wanted to do ACH transactions. You had to sign up with some sort of "payment gateway". Usually they had an api

Fine, I'll clarify : no "genius" is worth the money if they have a terrible EQ. Let them take their "genius" and terrorize somebody else.

Good luck finding a job, on the east coast at least, that will actually let you do this and not work you to death.
