You get to write the follow-up article about how posting LOC records in DNS is a security hole! :D

In OOP as I understood it, messages are first-class entities at the same level as "objects". This is strikingly different from modern OOP languages where a message is conflated with "function calls". This is pointed out

If that's the case then I suspect the FAA will be next. There was an article on NPR a long time ago about how Airlines are required to offer service for low volume areas (high coast low profit) in exchange for getting rights to high vo

In the old days, Science Weekly[1] used to print 4-5 paragraph summaries of published research in a three-column layout. The magazine was dense with information across a huge number of topics. And in the very old days, newspapers used to p

Fun stuff! I'm struggling to see how it's a manifesto instead of a design spec. I was hoping to learn the perceived advantages of this architecture. (With a lot of brain power I could probably figure that out, but I haven't

Change "protect employees and property" to "limit exposure to liability" and I'd agree.

My head-cannon is that both sets of artifacts reported in the story were sent in by the same person. The dude just loves metal detecting and he won't be stopped! And it's better to preserve the finds anonymously rather than face

But with zirp you just borrow someone else's money to start the business and reap all the profits while the lenders suffer the losses! :-)

To me this appears as a way to outsource customer service to an external entity funded by a cash flow to which Meta does not need to contribute. The courts are always going to exist, Meta is always paying its lawyers, so why bother hiring e

I, too, will keep using the separate stream, more out of habit than anything else. But the plastic doesn't currently go into a special landfill, it goes into the same ones as all of the other trash. < https://www.nytimes.

I'm pretty sure the point of recycling to make people feel like they are doing something about plastic pollution, and this feeling distracts people from the fact that nothing you do with plastic actually makes a difference. Perceptio

As others have mentioned below, a lot of sites and applications don't support embedded video, so GIF is the only way to go. I love using ScreenToGif to embed little videos into my email responses when I'm doing technical support.

If you're looking for how end-stage capitalism works, this video is for you. EDIT: I guess I should have said "This behavior is only because of perverse incentives."

Its not like airlines really have a lot of choice in manufacturer. Just because the backlog is there doesn't mean airlines wouldn't prefer a different supplier. And standing up a competitor is not really an option.

It's been my experience that Excel spreadsheets are not transferable from one locale to another. Maybe there is a "culture-invariant" version of a spreadsheet but I haven't found it.

The more likely reason for the creation of the TSA was to prevent victims from suing airlines into oblivion for failing to provide security. The government knew that if the airlines were found responsible the entire aviation industry could

I can't read the article (maybe someone can post an archive link?) but I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't some implicit sabotage built in. Checking the rates per square foot for residential versus commercial (office) spac

Speaking of too many dashboards, my opinion at this point is that Tableau is where data goes to die. I have so many dashboards that are created in my organization but each dashboard gets one or less views per month. No one ever looks at the

But merchants are already paying for cash logistics. Now because of credit card fees a person paying cash has to pay 2-5% more per transaction even when not using a credit card?

My feeling is that, in the US, automobile regulations are derived from horse and carriage regulations. When the horse was pulling the cart, it could get spooked and run off, killing or injuring pedestrians. Even though the driver nominally

I'll take a chance here and say this was a hack, possibly at the equipment-level. One major carrier having an outage? Possible. But three? On different networks? Even if its not a hack I'd love to see the root cause on this one!

Semantic Versioning is, at best, a method for the developer of a package to communicate to users of a package the intent of the changes from one release to the next. It does not remove the responsibility from the user of integration tes

There are two reasons creating software will never (in my lifetime) be considered an engineering discipline: 1) There are (practically) no consequences for bad software. 2) The rate of change is too high to introduce true software dev

Fun fact (for me, anyway): I live 35 miles from the launch complex, and the ground-shaking launch of the Vulcan Centaur rocket woke me up at 2:19 this morning. I can't imagine how intense it was for people much nearer to Cape Canaveral

I agree that the term Technical Debt should no longer be used. The problem is that, while the term "debt" can be understood as having consequences, there is no way to accurately measure the "interest" or "depreciati
