Your VaporView extension looks amazing! I can't even fathom how to get that far along in extension development. Do you have any links or resources you could direct me toward that were more helpful than Microsoft's basic…
Do you have any links or resources you could direct me toward that were more helpful than Microsoft's basic how-to pages for learning VS Code plugin development? I attempted to build a VS Code extension, but the attempt…
I think one of the biggest problems is that psychiatrists have to step through a procession of different drugs in an order specified by insurance companies. Cheap to expensive, traditional to exotic. And the most…
I worked at "The Only Sony Only" store in St. Louis when this TV came out. I delivered and installed equipment among other responsibilities. I might have delivered two of these particular units. I believe it was…
One of the best TED talks ever given, by VS Ramachandran - a video describing some of the fundamental mechanisms of the brain. This video was the first time I heard Bouba and Kiki, but there's so much more going on in…
As soon as the author talked about the zebra stripe scars on the daughter's arm, I knew it wasn't about just the phone. As soon as the author said that their daughter went from Pink Floyd to stereotypical duck lips and…
In what way could you possibly interpret that writing as "strange"? That was an excellent, straightforward response.
This seems huge if you can do it. I'm guessing a company like Intuit pays top dollar for job candidates with a double major in finance and computer science.
That seemed rhetorical. I'm hoping it was intended ironically.
This has always been my concern about establishing a presence online. I've considered blogging about my experiences at work or the cool stuff that I've built and it feels impossible for me to know when I've crossed a…
Yeah, the company I work for has millions of dollars tied up in Pure storage arrays. We evaluated Nutanix and I just stopped listening after they said they don't support external storage. Huge missed opportunity for…
> I think this might also be related to whether the kid grow up with parents they can trust and are able to explain the reasons behind "rules" to them. I think you hit the nail on the head here. Even if a parent's…
It is my understanding that some people who don't exercise at all have a hard time controlling their appetites, and then when they introduce moderate exercise, they find it much easier to keep their eating in check. I…
I think it's partially killing off perpetual ownership, but I think I heard they're also killing off a lot of individual SKUs. So you may not be able to get ESXi outside of a full vCloud Foundation subscription, which…
Where have your technology acquaintances gone instead? It seems like the entire Internet is declining in quality.
Probably as good at delivering shareholder value as anyone. Probably just didn't want to play ball when investors started asking him to strip out all the value to the customer and put the screws to the employees and…
That isn't NATs fault. That's a dynamically assigned IP address. You can pay for a static, or you can use Dynamic DNS to work around it. If you didn't have NAT, you'd have a static IP by default, but again, you'd be…
I don't understand your first point about firewalls, but port forwarding on a consumer router is no more difficult than opening a port on a firewall. Either one can be overcomplicated by a badly designed interface. See…
How exactly does it break the spirit of the Internet? The spirit of the Internet is that we run out of IPv4 addresses and everyone who uses the Internet has to learn IPv6 and be an expert on firewalls? I can't tell if…
This is a terribly uninformed take. ISPs charge for public IP addresses. Do you want to be charged for a large enough block of public IP addresses to cover every networked device in your house? Because that's what you…
We still enjoy things even if we aren't ultimately the prime mover of our own actions. And I think the argument for punishment as deterence falls down in a few ways: 1) Absence of punishment does not mean absence of…
I came to a very different conclusion on criminality in the absence of free will: compassion and understanding. How often do children do shitty things, and then say "I don't know" when asked why they did it? I have…
It feels like a lot of the author's arguments boil down to a refusal to acknowledge that no life is self-contained and that all life depends on its environment. "How can a tapeworm be alive if it can't exist without…
That was a great read, but there was one thing I didn't understand: Why would the regex string have "." twice in a row? What does ".." find that "." doesn't find? Does that just mean "at least two characters"?
Maybe they're counting "herbs and spices" as dimensions.
