The amount of administration you have to deal with when a loved one dies is mind-blowing. You know what people who have had their worlds torn apart and are barely functioning really need? Lots of paperwork.
I wish I could set my non-important mail to auto-archive after, say, two weeks or a month. Almost feel like doing this as a programming side project.
My dad and sister hung the Progress Flag for the Fourth of July, and I couldn't be more proud.
I’ve somehow, against all odds, become the kind of person who forgets to eat.
Thinking about installing Ubuntu as the primary operating system on my 2016 Intel MacBook Pro. I've seen the instructions, but have you done it? Any recommendations?
That thing where my work computer's battery won't take a charge and is threatening to explode. To the genius bar with ye …
Seems like there’s an opportunity to seed fund people who have quit their jobs because they want to work remotely in a place with a lower cost of living and their employers won’t let them?
