Nice. There are a few instances of this online, but you could (should) extend it by adding country, gender etc to give a more accurate and sense of foreboding mortality. The average life expectancy varies dramatically by country and circums

Perhaps... it can be toxic if you dip into the comments sometimes... Otherwise the content and links are the stuff of gold!

I always feel sad reading about the passing of folks who, frankly, were complete trail-blazers! Mike Included. The first time I came across a Star Wars cabinet, I was hooked. I remember my nervous excitement just sitting in it. You absolute

OP here. I posted this as I'm continually troubled by tech recruitment - I think it's fundamentally broken and has been for years now. I'm verging on writing a long post on it, but came across this article as it included some

Are recruiters better than a coin flip at judging resumes? Here's the data(interviewing.io)

I don't know about anyone else, but that box of assorted pastries/doughnuts should been rapidly consumed after hearing the news!

It depends on how much you need to love or are shaped by a job. 'Live to work' or 'work to live'.

An interesting article and discussion points. Like all theatres of tech, there are great companies and terrible companies to work for. The terrible (big) ones usually pay very well, but they want their pound of flesh and you are there to ge

There are a lot of weeds to get into on the subject of philosophy here and demonstrated by the comments. However, Dennett contributed a lot in terms of thinking and arguments... We don't 'think' enough as individuals/bei

Thanks. Interesting... I had always thought it was written by Emerson having had it in printed form for more than 20 years. It appears as though it was misattributed by others originally too it seems. To your point - that doesn't seem

Off the top of my head: Make the plexiglass removable (lift to remove/drop to fix in place) OR in a groove at the bottom, fasteners at the top. This would remove any issues with insertion drops and allow swaps. People can go rogue with

This made me think of Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem "What is success": To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the bet

Damn. I was hoping to be the fastest gun in the west on this one!

It's 'oldskool' _ although, frankly, if someone can't find it on a keyboard, they should be condemned to a life full of auto-correct errors.

I wonder just how many images of the eclipse were taken and then uploaded as a result... I witnessed one years ago and was completely awe-struck by it - or more, how tiny we all are in the grand scheme of things. And we sit here on our chai

There's a lot of chaff in the comments, but put bluntly - you aren't going to find a good tech co-founder randomly, online or through some hypothetically attractive matching services... Matching services are weak at best and shoul

There's a simple irony in it all. AI's perceived value is based upon and built from human creativity - remove it (and its evolution) and it will end in grey/brown sludge.

So this is the discus event? Curious to see the shot put equivalent - old UPS units nestled into ones neck before launch?

This article has made me feel decidedly old, given that I've used all of the repositories listed at one time or another. Of all words I could utter to induce fear and an instant panic attack in any technologist: "Microsoft Visual

Regardless of all the exacting comments, this is one of the most astonishing accounts and content on a topic I've seen for years; beautifully delivered and interactive to boot.

I couldn't agree more - they are exceptional. One of the best bits about them other than the flavour, is that I think something like one in 10 or 12 peppers is hot. Pepper roulette!

> People are out there claiming that GPT is doing all their coding for them. I just don't see how, unless they simply did not know how to program at all. I doubt it and certainly not for anything beyond basic. I've seen (and tr
