Oh they're only getting rid of the Origin app. Now they're forcing you to switch to the new "EA App" https://www.ea.com/ea-app which I'm sure will be worse. And switch soon, or you'll lose all

Similar to this, I bought a Lansky knife sharpening kit. I thought I was good at sharpening with a whetstone, but this makes a huge difference. $75 or so. https://www.lansky.com/deluxe-5-stone-system.html

I like both the Bond and Smiley books, but I've never understood why people are so quick to directly compare the two characters. Smiley is a man of politics and intrigue, while Bond is a boots-on-the-ground assassin. Bond would be bett

Frontend software / design. The Design of Everyday Things, by Donald Norman. It's incredible the number of people who use the words "affordance" and "signifier" incorrectly.

Nice article. I wouldn't call this approach "1x Programming." This is more about how to be a net-positive member of a dev team. As a longtime dev and recent dev manager, I hate most self-described 10x coders. I want people wh

I live in Ireland. This is a sad day. For years now I've been wondering what the Irish govt would do with BILLIONS of dollars. We could have had an Irish space program! A monorail! We could have bought Greenland!

I've done a bit of climbing. I think it takes more bravery to accept that conditions are bad and you need to turn around, than to continue on with the rest of the group. It's not clear-cut, either. If you turn around and the group

I think in Pattern Recognition a character says, "More creativity goes into the marketing of products than into the products themselves." I'd love to think of it all as some kind of art project, but there are always undertone

The more suburban/rural party gaining an edge over the more urban party is a natural result of any kind of geographical based representation. Plus the Dems play the same game when they can: http://www.propublica.org/article/in-california-d
