That was my first thought. Based on the novels I've read, I would interpret it in a couple of possible ways: - You receive a message, but the system can't tell you why your received it nor what you should do. (The Trial) - It&#x27

I know what you mean... However, the upgrade process has gotten a lot more reliable lately. At least less problems for me.

The key thing I noted when I visited the home page of DropBox is that I instantly understood what they do. I compared DropBox to the Box website. After wandering around several pages, I left without being 100% sure if they could do what I w

Quite ironic, isn't it, how "abuse@example.com" is a conduit for abuse? Spammers effectively killed that RFC.

I never use a catch-all. Deleting email would quickly exceed available time. I go through the trouble of creating a new email each time. I've considered writing a script to make it easier, but my current mail provider makes that diffic

The key motivation is not security, but if any account starts receiving spam, I will have a good idea where it is coming from. It also lets me shut off mail from any source. Some services will use that as the username, others allow me to pi

I tend to create a new email address for everything I sign up for. This makes a little harder to check :) EG: twitter@example.com, facebook@example.com, hackernews@example.com It also makes it a little harder for people to find me on social

I grew up as a space junky, with NASA still running manned missions when I was a kid. It didn't take me very long to understand the concepts of gravity on the moon vs. earth. I trust that if I asked grade-school me, I'd get the ri

It was a while ago, but I worked for a place that was writing software for boxes that could be used to collect telephone toll data from old bar switches in an Eastern European country. The sales manager thought it would sell better if it wa

One of Blackberry's key barriers to innovation was that they were unwilling to cannibalize their existing revenue. It was quite substantial revenue, so I would understand the beancounters' reticence. To connect a Blackberry to you

Warrantless surveillance certainly happened in 1950, but there did not exist the means by which data about almost everyone could be vacuumed up and correlated. It's entirely feasible to have an intelligence file on the majority of US c

I'm always a bit wary of posts that tell me to "Stop doing X". I'm also pretty comfortable with regular expressions. They take you outside of the procedural comfort zone, but are a valuable tool that will pay off to lear

My understanding of the reason for total abstinence is while there may be a shoulder in the graph (eg. more than 5 drinks a week) beyond which FAS begins to take effect, nobody knows where that point is. It's not exactly the sort of th

You could replace "in Europe" with "40 years ago", perhaps. Maybe not "hard pressed", but alcohol consumption certainly was pretty common.

Anywhere that I have a say in the matter, FTP is disabled. I've been a fan of rsync for years and have a bunch of scripts that can make the whole process seamless. That said, I'm starting to be won over by git deploys. The reason

It's a great technique for buttons, even without the nice design. I've wondered for years why this is not more common. Having a "submit" button change state is such better UI than those horrid messages warning you not to click twice—I still

My favorite bit of this history is that the first Lisp interpreter was written in Lisp. (hmmm, maybe it would be a bit spammy if I recursed this statement several more times.)

This is a good way to look at things. It is also very frustrating when there are administrative barriers to working the full stack. Not that I advocate handing out root password with your new employee badge, but I don't like it when it is e

Nothing wrong with features themselves, it's just the human propensity to develop new workflows around those features. Keeping the features away won't keep the new workflows away... I've seen an Excel spreadsheet used for "extra tracking" o
