Agreed on the tabs. Not sure what I'm supposed to do when I have more than 1-2 channels I want to view.

When I went to Defcon a few years back, one of the speakers started his talk by saying: "When I first started coming to Defcon, it was full of hackers and we played spot-the-fed. Now you're all feds and we play spot-the-hacker.&qu

What's your goal with the project? I built a web app that looked very similar a few years back: friends & family collaboration on a trip plan, itinerary with map view, packing list, notes/journaling, favoriting, private or pub

Likely a bit lower if you're looking like-for-like, but there are trade-offs that make it worthwhile. Major consulting companies hire everywhere and have offices everywhere. Excepting the last couple of years, which are looking like an

Your experience at Amazon probably isn't due to the incompetence of others, but due to a difference in alignment. In the business world, the time of highly motivated, talented engineers is extremely valuable. It doesn't make sense

Amazon will enforce them at the exec level, but courts have ruled they aren't a total blanket ban on employment elsewhere, just a restriction on what you can do for that new employer. "This past October, a federal judge placed maj

I've noticed that the #1 positive thing I learned from chess is rarely mentioned by others, and I'm not sure why that is. For me it was: Pattern recognition. I many cases (at least at the intermediate level), winning/losing g

Intriguing design and it looks like they've sold enough to see some real-world success, but I can't help but think the headset must be under extreme torque with a 150+ lb person sitting on essentially a large lever. That and the s

I think people have forgotten how easy it is to set up a traditional server-rendered site with Spring Boot or Django or whatever framework. These days I see people adding a SPA as the default starting approach, which adds an entirely separa

Golf is a real-world activity that can be used for comparison here. It's a good candidate because there is a standard handicap rating system issued by a central governing body, and there are a large number of amateur players who play r

In this case, the ad network would presumably not know or else they wouldn't keep showing you ads. But it's worth noting that ad networks are more interconnected than most people realize. You can go to Facebook and see the "o

Note that 20 other states already have permitless legal carry. Vermont is one of the longest-running states to allow it. Texas is actually not one of the more permissive states when it comes to firearm laws. Everyone just thinks it is becau

I remember seeing your comment on that previous post. I enjoy seeing those sorts of "behind the curtain" details that break down stack & cost of applicaitons. I'm curious if you've tested what it would cost to just h

That's basically an anarchist point of view. If you can't outlaw anything no matter the harm it causes, then what's left for the role of government? "At least it's an ethos" and all, but that's not how any

NASWA is good at facilitating knowledge-sharing, but they are no better equipped to build a software product than any state IT department. Each state is still ultimately handling "modernization" in their own way. There's very

Biggest question in my mind is why state bureaucrats are given the latitude to think it's a good idea to build their own one-off solutions. There are 50+ markets for these sorts of systems. It makes absolutely zero sense for them each

I don't think it's typically that partisan. I have an insider's perspective on one of the systems mentioned in the article, and from what I could see, politics played no part until everything went off the rails and they start
