I am being honest.

Do you just use your facebook email?

As embarrassing as it sounds, I've never really understood the advantage of having a personal site over the possible downsides. On one hand, if you're a professional, you have a reputation to build, but on the other…

This is kind of a silly question but I dare ask it anyways. I think the title says it all.

I’m not sure Q/A analyst is quite the correct term for the position I’m interested in, but I was technically a Q/A dev for about three months at one place I worked, the first one actually. After 15 years in the industry…

I've learned that investing in a good work chair is worth it after all, but is no surprise. Using anything less just exhausts the mind and body and limits how much work you can get done. Picking the right desk is also a…

I'm still somewhat new to Rust and low level programming but understand the language, theory, and as well as C. However, I have no idea if porting Tokio's ecosystem to WASI/WASM at this point in time is even possible or…

We can all agree the state of password management on any platform isn't ideal, but some are better than others. Textual passwords are needed for some use cases obviously, but at large this isn't the case. With…

The story of this claim is quite absurd to tell in full so here's the short version. Back in 2019 I, by chance, found some significant undocumented behavior with the zeta function when I randomly tested what would…

I’ve been in the web development sector for over a decade now. I took a gap year during the pandemic to reconcile the fact that I no longer love development like I once did. There are still fascinating texts I plan on…

I was recently talking with my brother who is a SEO practitioner about making a way for him and others (whom aren't techies) to simply download a CSV of all his Google Search Console API data which is hard to do without…

I've been hunting for a quality textbook on elementary set theory for about a year without much success. What I'm looking for is a modern text that covers subject matter from first principles save perhaps logic. Out of…

I'm currently exploring switching from an engineering role to something else but I'm not sure what at the moment. I love building stuff but I feel like I've bottomed out after so many years as a senior developer,…

I have more or less learned Rust from nostarch's book (which took about a month). However, I am far from being proficient with the language, not because I'm new to programming but because Rust is quite different than…

I've never contacted a lawyer before and I wanted to know if there is an easy or modern way to do this these days.

I know this is a common question so I apologize beforehand. I’ve been a Mac user ever since I bought my Powerbook G4. I’ve owned pretty much every Mac model except for a MBP and a Mini and only had one lemon which was…

I read Pijul’s blog the other day and it looks like it’s close to 1.0 as of November. Is Pijul still experimental, meaning, are the theories behind it still a WIP or is it just that it isn’t as performant as the creator…

Sometimes you just want a simple and quality PDF version of a book rather than contend with inane ebook platforms or fumble with a paperback. Personally I think Apple books or Kindle and such are great for novels but…
