I'd skip the audiophile magazines, unless you want to spend hundreds extra for marginal returns. A website called The Wirecutter has fantastic recommendations in all categories of headphones: http://thewirecutter.com/

A couple of suggestions for the author. These aren't meant to discourage; the opposite, actually. 1) Running benchmarks on a hosted VM introduces confounding [a] factors. Namely, contention. What happens if someone else is running benc

Great comment, and worth noting that many technologies go through this cycle. Those old enough to remember might note that once upon a time, Java was going to "change the world". Anyone who got their start in technology after 2000

That was the first thing I thought. Turning over IP and offering indemnification... for what exactly? That indemnification clause is utterly ridiculous in this context. Our company works with a lot of governments, and indemnification clau

Certainly a portion of carry-on travelers do so because of the reasons you listed, but the rise of checked baggage fees unquestionably made matters worse. I've been traveling for business since around 1999. Not a terribly long time, bu

Nitpick inbound. You shouldn't open log files with an editor unless your intent is to edit the file. There are a whole host of tools (grep, less, awk, sed, etc) useful for parsing and exploring log files.

I'm curious why can't buss s run in tunnels? Is it simply a problem of air quality because of emissions? I wonder if this could be solved by using hybrid diesel electric buses that run off of overhead electrical wiring in tunnels,

Ok sure, and while we're at it, let's just start calling all birds ducks. Or all bipedal mammals humans. The meaning of words is defined by consensus, which is not the same as unanimity. You can dig your heels in and call this a h

Absolutely. A 2.4 micron beam splitter is a hell of an achievement. I don't know what the next closest is in size, but the vast majority of beam splitters I'm familiar with are measured in millimeters. I'm sure there are othe

This is a good example of asking the wrong question. How fast does an electron move? 2200 km/s. How fast does an electrical signal propagate from one end of a circuit to the other? This is a much more relevant, but also more difficult,

As the old saying goes, there's nothing new under the sun. DevOps is very closely related to sysadmin work. I think it would be fair to say that DevOps is just a specialized form of sysadmin work. You could even say that it is just an

Great advice as usual, but I'd point out that the last line is the most important one. No two workplaces are the same, and opinions rarely fit neatly in to bucketed categories like "can use Linux" and "can't use Lin
