   And the second thing that bugs me about this interaction... Sure... "Security" is a process. It is a way of looking at things. It is proper use of tools and awareness of threat when designing software. But it is also a set of tr

   Saying anything about security without mentioning the nature of the threat is bad. It's also industry common practice. Obfuscating JS is probably a decent defence against your 9 year old brother. It is not against a motivated, well f

   After moving my personal library this month, I think I want to copy all my paper books to microfiche. I would absolutely buy first run books on fiche.

   I wish more authors or publishers would allow intarweb pirates the option of no questions asked anonymous payments for the digital copy they downloaded from Anna's.

   I've borrowed from archive.org quite a bit in the past several years. but it does require you to be online to read the book, which doesn't always work out for me. Also... Libby doesn't support my preferred 4 year old androi

   Anna's Archive can help you out with that. Illegal downloading is your greatest entertainment value.

    So I just spent a week moving 60 linear feet of books and I'm done with dead trees. Neil Gaiman has a quote that goes something like "Books are like sharks. There's nothing better at being a shark than a shark. There&#x27

    I have a friend who points out that in the FOSS community, fork == drama. Either the drama causes the fork or the fork causes drama. What you describe sounds more anti-drama than anti-social.

    Greybeard here... let me start by saying I like the cut of the author's jib. I'm old enough to have sat before the elders of the arpanet when there were only 1's and they had to forge about half of them into 0's manuall

    I was not a manager. I was hired as a software engineer.

    Yes and No. My job title was "Software Engineer," though my management chain told me my role was "Product Owner." Agile was fine at the beginning when it was a few people who knew what they were doing, but it's be

    A comment supposedly adding to the discussion but is really a shallow attempt to drive traffic to my website.

    There are a fair number of engineers at centers (Stennis, Ames, Kennedy, etc.) that are government employees. When I was NASA-adjacent, it seemed they wrote the specs and testing regimes. I think the government even did some of the testin

    Well... the TSA was a jobs program for people who couldn't or didn't want to get jobs as cops. Stennis (Space Flight Center) is a jobs program for Aero Engineering grads to keep them from going to work in Europe or India. Who kn

    Is this just USAJOBS way of getting more resumes so they can give them to xAI or OpenAI as a training set?

    In the 80s, our local planetarium did a show based on this story. The executive director of the museum associated with the planetarium had a very nice deep voice and was the perfect narrator, though it gave the Cosmic AC a slight Texas acc

    Influencers are increasingly perturbed by delays in Trump's mobile phone shipment schedule. Perhaps to show some progress, the company posted a re-designed phone on their web page.

    I don't think that's what this bill is about. I think they want to be able to attach a government issued ID to logins for various services. They tried claiming it was to fight terrorism, but that didn't really work so now t

    Meh. the Lisa was absolutely, positively, explicitly NOT a Mac. If you don't get that, then you misunderstand the business of computing in the late 70s / early 80s. The author also ignored Jef Raskin's work on the origin

    I'm perfectly happy with tmux the way it is, but upvoting this one because it's a decent overview of what to modify to make tmux more better if you don't like its defaults.
