Re: daily awesome
"If the world ever leaves you feeling hopeless, remember that Star Trek was cancelled twice and deemed an utter failure; then rose from the ashes to become the flagship for all of science fiction, spawning six spin-offs, fourteen movies, and enough novels to keep the fires burning through the Long ...

Re: Uber self-driving cars: not very good
Agreed. Their competitive advantages lies in the speed in which they can get a ride to a user. Also, their partnership with organizations that need to provide rides to their constituents.

Re: Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2018
It's sobering to realize I'm only senior-developer-good at systems programming (C/C++/assembly). It's been over a decade since I wrote any RTL, so I can't even claim hardware development as a skill.
