I'm working on a web application, albeit one that runs locally on a user's computer and doesn't use the internet. I saw a pain point in a niche audience and realized I could fix it. My initial thought was to make the…

Having been frustrated again in using bluetooth from a computer to a smart speaker -- ugh! I swear connections only work half the time, and it isn't due to RF interference -- I'm wondering why there isn't a standard…

I just received an e-mail from Google yesterday that they are discontinuing G Suite Legacy Free edition (which I believe was called 'Google Apps For Your Domain' back in the day). Public info is at…

I was just pointed at https://airestech.com where the company AiresTech has devices that apparently offer individuals protection against electromagnetic fields. I was wondering if anyone here has tried anything like…

I really like Iosevka Slab and Fira Code as coding fonts, especially because of the nice coding font ligatures, where, for example, != is changed into ≠ and => becomes a 'fat arrow'. I just tried coding with a…

I've recently been reading papers on computer science topics. I find the math hard to understand -- it seems like what would be a clear function, taking a page of code, is turned into a single mathematical statement…

I'm starting to understand the importance of networking. I live in a rural area, and while I hope to get to some meetups in nearby cities, it'd be useful to do some online. I'd consider hosting things, too, but how do I…

Yesterday, I saw an article[1] stating that many programmers are earning $200k USD, or even $300k or $400k. I thought I was doing good making $75k, and now I think I've been playing this game wrong. So, where is the…
