   I think that many people you seem to think are tech savvy are really not. I'm 51 and I've been programming since 13, getting paid for it since around 20 years old. My kids are 21 and 19, they both use smartphones, so do my wife an

   I think it's related to what my wife always says to me when I get concerned after listening to too much news. "News is news because it's different from the norm. No one wants to read that nothing different happened." She

   I think I have at least one of every variant. I had fun playing with all of them. But in the end, I wanted to use one for a Linux development machine and it was always just a bit too slow to be useful. This one sounds like it might have jus

    Wow. Are you Albert mentioned in the man page? Seems like some unneeded snark after your entry. I think I would have left too. "Albert rewrote ps for full Unix98 and BSD support, along with some ugly hacks for obsolete and foreign synt

    I feel like the world of computer programming is caught in a very fast iteration of the old adage, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Which oddly, I was curious about that quote's origins, so I j

    I would agree with this, if you're using Google's personal free products for running a business. Get locked and you're in real trouble. But Fi is a service that the customer is paying for, they should not be subject to automa
