Born in 1906, computer scientist Grace Hopper invented the first compiler for computer programming language & was among the first programmers of the Harvard Mk1 computer.

Hopper popularized the idea of machine-independent programming languages & paved the way to develop COBOL (an early high-level programming language). She originated the term "bug" to describe computer glitches & became a celebrated Rear Admiral in the US Navy. https://news.yale.edu/2017/02/10/grace-murray-hopper-1906-1992-legacy-innovation-and-service #science #history

Mozilla should definitely do this. And then when it goes nowhere, everyone will finally agree that PWAs were never a great platform for mobile apps. Right? https://indieweb.social/@whalecoiner/111940727614198057

How do you feel about physical touch? I mean this is the broad sense, not necessarily in a sexual way, but you can answer however you wish.

Personally, I enjoy it a lot, and find it comforting, but only from really specific people. If strangers or people I don't know well want to hug me, it's okay, but I won't seek it out. I think handshakes are weird. Hey, you want to hold hands with a stranger for a short amount of time for some reason?

If you could pause body aging, what age would you have paused at, and why?

When I was in my early 20’s, I hustled my ass off. I worked 2 jobs and a side hustle. I drank 8 cups of coffee a day and popped No Doz pills to work at night.

And then I burned the fuck out. And crashed hard.
And it wasn’t worth it.

There’s a lot of folks who will tell you: “grind to the point of exhaustion. Chase wealth and rest later. Make work your only religion.”

That advice is poison. It will leave you broken and hurt and tired and alone.

Human Resources (HR) is not your friend at all. They exist to protect companies' interests. Always remember that.

Constitution

40 years ago, when studying the Constitution in high school, I was alarmed.

1. Nowhere does it say that there was any such thing as a popular vote. The state legislatures controlled everything, and there is no mention of how they get their power.
2. They had to amend the damned thing to enshrine basic rights.
3. They had to amend the thing to give the Federal government the power to reign in states that were infringing on rights.

People who design APIs. I am begging you. It doesn't matter how "simple" or "intuitive" or "elegant" your API is. You need to include sample code.
