Awesome, thanks for the links. I also tend to believe that it is a process over tooling question; you could even accomplish this with a text document and some checklists.

When I gave up social media sites, I created a little site that has some blogs and sites that are interesting to look at, and my new tab page is set to that. Yahoo initially began as a links directory, and I thought that was a nice idea, so

I'll preface this by saying this is all anecdotal evidence based on my personal observations, so it may not apply to everyone. I often feel the same way, especially with tech. For those of us that remember before the internet was ubiq

How does Nix compare to Environment Modules: https://modules.sourceforge.net/ Am I correct in understanding they are similar, except Nix has the "pure" package building?

This reminds me of a technique I learned from this StackOverflow answer [1] that is about creating structs/records with TCL lists and dicts. It apparently comes from LISP philosophy: proc mkFooBarRecord {foo bar} { # Keep ind

I'm a new professor that was a devops engineer in the field until a year and a half ago. I understand that out in the field, we think professors are all just lazy out of touch academics, publishing papers to meet a quota; I used to th

My senior project in college was "Trombone Hero", which was a game based on guitar hero. I had an old trombone, and I took apart a cheap gamepad and put the sensors along a custom PVC pipe slide at positions 1 - 7. There was the

I'm a new computer science professor coming from "industry" (as the academics call it) and can confirm that cheating is rampant. I've also noticed that it is an arms race you'll never win; cheaters will always find

No one has mentioned Linode yet, I had a good experience with them around 10 years ago, seems like they have more cloud product offerings now.

Makes sense. Maybe if you ask yourself why those with the existing infrastructure dont already have a version of your idea implemented, it can help you identify the important parts of your pitch.

The conventional wisdom here is that ideas are sellable because they are uniquely executed in a way that is both practical, cost effective, and solves a real problem. Or, conversely, most great ideas seem great on the surface, but in realit

What I always liked about SO jobs was it was tech centric, so you could filter on language or tool. It also seemed to have more "transparent" posts in terms of salary, benefits, and dev practices. What are good alternatives to SO

I had a Blackberry classic until a month ago when AT&T sent me a new phone in the mail with a letter saying they would deactivate my Blackberry automatically due to 5g. I hate my new phone. There is absolutely no way I could effectively

I learned about it reading the quake 2 sourcecode. In school or tutorial articles, they always teach the first technique, I find. "Delta timing" is what I knew it as.

Was the documentary "Tapped" by chance? I saw that one around that same timeframe you mentioned and it inspired me to get a reusable bottle I still use to this day.

I've read this before, and while I agree that there are tropes, like the techbabble mentioned in the article as well as creating suspense with arbitrary timelines ("we have a routine task BUT the core will explode in 30 minutes&qu

I'm really glad I saw this. I have a ~2015 Blackberry Classic that I love, and when I got the texts, went to the store. I asked them that, since my phone supports 4GLTE (from the icon on the screen) would I be alright. The salespers

I agree with your point that there is a need for advertisements to inform consumers about available options. I'd generally fall in the "dismissal of all things advertising" box, but I would add a nuance to it that it really d
