What people leave behind is the things that don't matter anymore. I've walked out of offices with all my recent/relevant possessions, leaving behind nothing but books about fancy new technology like DHTML and ASP.NET v1.1. Mo

Interesting article, though the final graph and analysis is a bit goofy. He arbitrarily fixed the price of specialty coffee, and then asserted that specialty coffee allows more stability. Well yeah, if you magically remove a major source of

This is a little more crypto-oriented, but might be along the lines of what you're looking for. https://gist.github.com/tqbf/be58d2d39690c3b366ad

Seems like the obvious solution. I know Automattic (makers of Wordpress, among other things) does that.

Um, the article explicitly tested that case. Does that count as a citation?

This seems almost comically narrow minded. Like it or not, negotiation is unavoidable. It's how two actors come to an agreement. Even if negotiation is banned for determining salaries, there are other negotiations to be done: how much

If you tell someone to be careful not to fall off the right side of a bridge, and they then run away and fall off the left side, does that mean your advice was harmful? Just because someone might overreact doesn't mean you shouldn&#x27

But notice that pretty much every screen has a false positive rate. So some percentage of the healthy people screened are going to be incorrectly told that their sick, and therefore get treated for an illness they don't have. The more

I'm surprised there's so much hating on this article. I guess it's not the most original thing ever, but I think most of the points (with the possible exception of #8) are pretty well known and accepted. Fad diets are mostly

This is the second article I've seen from Bloomberg that ignores two-thirds of what Tesla actually said and thus massively misses the point. I'm starting to think it's intentional. No kidding this isn't (currently) attra

I thought of that, but I don't like it for a few reasons: 1) It's cumbersome to update. I don't want to run to the bank, get the thumbdrive, update it, and take it back every time I change a password. 2) Everyone has to know

I've lately been pondering how to handle the passwords piece of this. I use 1Password, which is convenient because I have a handy-dandy database of passwords, but makes it unrealistic that I'll write them all down on paper. So th

Note that the compensation is partially (largely?) due to "options exercised." Depending on how that data is tabulated, it's possible that many options have not yet been exercised, and thus aren't included in that metric

Depends where you live. We've had gunshots in our neighborhood every day (or very nearly so) for 2+ weeks. I lost count of fatalities sometime around 9. Bit of a gang war going on here. The ShotSpotter they put in last fall is definite

I know they pitched this for solar, but I bet that won't be the most common use, at least initially. My power company (XCel, if it matters) keeps trying to install a "Saver Switch" in everyone's house to shut down their

Just out of curiosity, what would be the perfect car? I mean, perfect while still being obtainable within the laws of physics as we understand them. Even if money was no object, you can't build a car that is 100% optimal in every aspec

Hm. I was about to tell you that you're wrong, but then noticed you're an electrical engineer... so I guess you probably know more about this than I do. But, my understanding is that dispatchable is the opposite of intermittent ge

I don't think that's quite true. You don't need a lot of storage to make the peak-shaving, time-arbitrage setup he mostly talked about economic. But you need a whole lot of storage to make a reliable grid out of unpredictable

I think my problem was using the Custom Service style, rather than inheriting from ServiceControl. There are a number of ways to interact with the HostConfiguration.Service<T>() method and its overloads, but there's only one tiny

It's definitely superior to hand rolling Windows services. We have something like 6 or 7 TopShelf-based services, a couple of which are self-hosted WebAPI endpoints. No problems or gotchas that I can remember, aside from slightly margi

Absolutely true in my experience. We had a service with free and paid tiers. The paid customers were uniformly respectful and even helpful. The free users were usually demanding, sometimes abusive, and would spend hours trying to convince y
