Does your personal laptop struggle to keep up with your development needs? Maybe your company is looking for alternatives to continually needing to upgrade their developers’ laptops. Maybe a team of developers would benefit from a powerful remote server versus personal computers?

Today, remote development is even more streamlined than ever with the help of products like Visual Studio’s Remote – SSH extension or with Jetbrains Remote Development. In this blog post, I will give a brief overview of Visual Studio’s Remote – SSH extension and share a mini how-to on using it.

Through the years, we were told a parent selector would be an engineering feat that could not be achieved due to the way browsers render a page and apply computed styles to elements as a stream, one element after the other. When the browser paints a parent and inevitably its children, reevaluating this already-painted DOM to evaluate parents for children containing a particular context would be too expensive of a task.

As the years moved on, we all applied different hacks or strategies, either reworking our DOM to avoid the issue altogether or using various JavaScript techniques to select parents and add CSS classes to use instead. We were just waiting for something to save us…

This one is just for fun. I’ve been using FreeBSD off and on since the late 90’s when a good friend, who has since passed, introduced me to the operating system.

Recently, for personal reasons, I’ve decided to move away from the big IT providers and install FreeBSD on my primary desktop for personal use. Just so it’s clear, I still use the operating system my client uses for work, but for my own personal desktop and coding projects, I’ve decided to once again install and run FreeBSD.

This post is not a tutorial, but let’s take some time to look at using this “Unix-like” operating system for real-world situations, such as developing Java applications for fun and profit.
