That was the lone task I abdicated. I do not work with printers. Horrible peripherals. One would think that the oldest peripheral was best understood.

End-to-end responsibility for a mission-critical system without which the company I was working for would have gone under in less than 6 weeks. Lone developer also responsible for workstations for roughly 30-40 employees. It was a wild 18

Enact a tax on automation. Don't do it immediately, do it when the tech hits the knee of the adoption curve. Use the income to implement a guaranteed basic income. Otherwise it's going to end in dystopia.

Nope. But we are acquainted. Go through my comments and you will figure out how we know each other ;)

Yes from the state of border control and not just this one. CBP is doing industrial espionage with their phone data seizures. I'm avoiding US conferences because of it where I have options elsewhere. I imagine many are doing the sam

The UK is actually an island off the continent of Europe. If we are being pedantic. It may belong to Europe culturally in some respects but geographically, it does not.

I've had 32 gigs of memory in my desktop rig for more than a decade. Needless to say, no swap. Some decent points about mitigation like memory priority in the article. Good read.

Lucky you. My favourite conferences are held in Amsterdam and London. I much prefer those to US ones of course.

I might be forced to in the fall. There's a conference within my industry held in San Fransisco in the fall. There really is no substitute elsewhere within a reasonable timeframe. I plan to have no devices with me on the flight. I&

I did it this morning. A service rep sent me an email later to confirm I was marked for deletion. I wonder if they have a human read through all of them.

It is the height of their craft nonetheless, if not for anything but having more money for ingredients. All the great chefs say that a great meal starts with selecting the best ingredients for it. You can be the best chef of the world but

You are dumping problems related to MS (well known) monopolistic behaviour. Office format has been notoriously hard to replicate (on purpose). That is not a failing in Open Source, it is a failing of Microsoft. I realize that businesses m

Several years ago I was responsible for a CMS for a local newspapers website. A contractor making updates used ElasticSearch to search for articles. It was a rather botched setup with ES crashing once in a while and the search index slidi

You should be able to convert this into an experiment. Find an off-the-beat market and start talking about it in the presence of your phone (and maybe with the app open, don't know the particulars of when the app can activate the micr

Difference is that a comment that simply states "bad move" is voted down in short order. This comment makes a cogent point about scales and infrastructure. This might be valuable. I love Hacker News too, just without the snark.

There's also the chance that USDoJ vs. Microsoft will land in USDoJ's favour. If so, then if your cloud provider is US-based (e.g. Amazon), then your data can be procured by the US government with a NSL or similar secret court me

Is the golden age of arcade gaming over? I can't remember going into an arcade psyched about playing any game. It's all dance pads, racing games and FPS. Frogger, Pac-man, Gauntlet, Tetris, Mortal Kombat, Warlock, those were ex

I have to do funky validations on textfields. If the validation fails, make the field blink, or show an icon. Never allow a field to have input that fails validation (if you paste an invalid value, don't change the value of the field
