To quote me: "That's what happens when you go listen to philosophers. You get ideas. Wrong ones." I spent a lot of time with academic philosophers and have found precisely fuck all insight.

Some of us take pride in the fact we aren't. I suspect we'll be all that is left in the information decay we face.

Nope . It’s broken because all policy is normalised into box ticking and insurance.

I really dislike the anecdotes don't make a statistic line. As an actual qualified mathematician it pisses me off that my field is used in vain to discard experience. I mean would you ok if I waltzed into the middle of a town square an

Both my father and my mother got their banks ripped off by keyloggers on both an android handset and a windows computer separate occasions. They have been divorced for 30 years and do not even live near or speak to each other. The only thin

Mathematics and image embeds killed it.

Well it all makes a lot of sense but you have to understand it first. That takes time. I’m typesetting stuff which has complex mathematics in it so there are no better solutions. This is the best human solution we have. There are some workf

It was always pretty laggy. It didn’t and still doesn’t scale to any reasonable size document. The last thing I wrote in libreoffice was a technical specification around 200 pages long in 2019. It crashed regularly, wrecked the document and

You don’t have to log in with O365 and office and windows can stand entirely alone and there is no requirement to be cloud connected. It all still works offline as a classic AD setup. You have to be an enterprise customer though. I literall

I use O365 all day across two orgs and have done for about 5 years. Never had a problem. Not once!

I reckon about 1 in every 50 people I've ever worked for actually gives a shit past getting paid. That's probably where the problem lies.

This. I've had my buggy shit accepted into at least three open source projects so far with little to no verification.

Very funny but perhaps I wish it wasn't. My colleagues use RDD and MDD: RDD -> Resume Driven Development MDD -> Medium.com Driven Development Damn fashion show this shit.

The sepia pictures are probably that colour because of the toner that was used at the time when they were printed. The silver halides used in photographic paper weren't very stable and were still quite light sensitive. Sepia toner, as

That'd be a distinct #66666 ... very boring middle grey. But not too bright. This would of course just be the median colour. It'd be black and white film because it was cheaper, completely incorrectly exposed so that the blacks we

I did that in the early 90s. Was only a 4-bit job but it mostly worked! Edit: it only ever ran one program which was to count to 99. There is a whole community of these machines: https://www.homebrewcpuring.org

This is my party trick. Describe a colour and I'll give you the hex code. As you can imagine I'm really popular at parties...

Coincidentally this landed on my weekly backup day. Using Time Machine weekly to an external SSD. Also a separate flat monthly archive to another SSD. And just in case that is not enough, rclone my documents and pictures library (everything

100% agree with this. Also we still need people who truly understand hands have 5 fingers and dogs have 4 legs.

I’m not even surprised. I worked at a company whose bug tracking system was an excel spreadsheet mailed around. I’m not talking 2-3 engineers, I’m talking 250 engineers. There was one guy whose responsibility was to consolidate all the copi
