Bullshit. The only attack on my free will is people telling me what is an attack on my free will and thus pushing their agenda. I would NEVER EVER want to give up the incredible availability of information we have today. Even if most of it

Your best bet is probably a tablet or smartphone with a fast ARM processor. Those don't have the management engine and can run surprisingly fast.

I never use auto in C++, except for when I have very complicated (or impossible to define) types like lambdas. I want complete clarity about what types I am using.

I played the game Rise of the Triad when I was like 7 years old, maybe younger. A ridiculously brutal game. Still lovin' it today. Good times. People are way too alarmist when it comes to kids consuming "mature" stuff. You ca

I don't get the PowerPoint hate. You can have a wonderful presentation while having PowerPoint slides. As an additional benefit, your audience can keep the presentation PDF which makes it easier for them to remember the cornerstones of

If you need the latest OS version for your software to run, you're doing software design wrong. Except for very special features, software should run all the way to 10-20 years old OS versions. And if it doesn't, you should have a

Should've have accident insurance. Should have diversified his business and not relied on a garbage website. Especially after the first 2 months limitation. All these problems were completely avoidable. He might be a good engineer bu

Sounds like the stuff my code refactoring nightmares are made of. The opposite case is funny too though: I've seen people who fetched and deserialized the entire SQL table and then manually SELECTed by looping over it with a foreach lo

People who can just sleep, diet and exercise and the depression simply goes away, that's not real major depression. I really hate how people spread this stuff so condescendingly. No, it might have worked for you, but it does not work f

> A mathematical model was made to calculate erosion. This was a model based not on physical understanding but on empirical curve fitting. Very interesting point. A lot of today's "science" works like this, and it is a dee

Yes. Facebook is evil, Google is misguided. Besides, Google's services give me much more value than anything Facebook has to offer. Facebook's """"hidden"""" ads in my feed trigger me. Do th

Don't talk to HR. It will escalate the entire situation and you gain nothing. It's like going to the teacher when you don't get along with kids at school - everyone's gonna hate you even more. You need to deescalate the

MECCANO ( http://www.meccano.com/ ) 6 might be a bit on the younger side for it, but 10 definitely not. You learn to use a screwdriver and screws and basic mechanics. You can go all the way to elaborate designs. It's a

Individuals with OCD who prepared a meal may not be able to eat their food because of thoughts that the stove might be on. I have a coworker who told me that he used to take a photo of his stove before going out of the house so when he wa

The funny thing is that it loads faster and has higher fps than many websites that display simple blogposts and a couple of images, but pull in literally megabytes of JavaScript and other bloat. People, learn from this. Seriously. The web d

I am very lucky to be in an environment where pretty much everyone just wants to get stuff done. It's peaceful, barely any politics.

I wouldn't go for hardware with known flaws like that. You never know what you are vulnerable to. Who knows, maybe someone finds out how you can abuse this flaw with JavaScript or something. It seems to me like AMD bit off more than th

If you fall into the resentment camp, you are exhibiting a defensive reaction because you are in denial about your own flaws and that will be a hindrance to your success.

Why did they not redo the DR testing until it worked? Normally you iterate tests and bugfixes over and over until it works. Otherwise, what's the point of the test? Being confident that your stuff does not work at all?

No. Many parents are literally paranoid about their kids being harmed, even though many areas have an all-time low of crime in human history. Not to mention, police picking up children who are playing alone and parents getting into trouble

"Performance reasons" meanwhile I kid you not when I say that the Antimalware Executable of Microsoft swallows about half my CPU performance when I am downloading, unzipping, executing files. They could have implemented their anti

Yes, do it. 100 times yes. While you write blog posts to recap your experiences, and you do it carefully, you will often find details and answers that you didn't find before and thus deepen your understanding. Kind of like taking a ste

Everyone is so smug here, wow. If you have a little web presence with 5 visits per day, of which 3 are bots, you don't cache, you don't use AWS or any of the big services, you just spin up a tiny Linux machine with a LAMP stack an

The committee also calls on Tesla to release clear policies on how Fremont factory workers can get promoted, adding that "there are no guidelines for what is expected of us, or what defines success." Uh, what? Do they expect a c

And how is that surprising? It even has a name: Tragedy of the commons.

I am always amazed about how surprised people are that materials that are specifically engineered to decompose as slowly as possible are in fact doing just that.

Exactly. It baffles me how people think political problems can be solved with technological workarounds. What's next, being gay is illegal again so "just hide your relationship lulz"? Sometimes, I feel like a part of the crow

I like keeping what I do on my website because it is my property and I would never populate other people's websites with my content, unless I got enough money for it.
