The Dodgers are guaranteed a playoff spot after tonight’s win, but the math isn’t straightforward.

I lived a real-life Californians sketch today picking up my kid from college for the weekend.

This week my oldest child begins studying civil engineering at Cal Poly Pomona.

Here is a little test you can do to play around with FIFOs (also known as Named Pipes) in bash.

Writing go code is a thousand paper cuts but then you get that nice beautiful binary and you put it wherever you want and I’m still not sure it’s worth it.

Well done Bruce Springsteen.

US politics are more about identity and power than principles, even though we like to pretend otherwise.
