I’m pretty sure McAfee scanned AND cleaned viruses? That’s what I remember anyways.

It’s been a while so I don’t remember. I was like 8 or 9 years old. I’m assuming someone somewhere told me about viruses and gave me a copy of McAfee. I remember when it all clicked though. All our computers started acting the same with the

Fun Tandy story. It was the 80s. My parent bought a Tandy 1000 SX for their business. It worked fine for a while, until one day it started randomly crashing, and occasionally showing a little dot bouncing around the screen. They took that t

I came here to say this exactly. It was so short-sighted, and that attitude killed the company.

I uninstalled it immediately when I saw that. Having control of this data is way better than SIM swapping. This seems like a terribly risky thing to install, security-wise.

I really dig it. Great job. It might not be for everyone, but to me it’s a real breath of fresh air.

One unique approach for lower volume is Gmass. It’s really good at what it does.

I use a separate 2.4GHz-only SSID and VLAN for my IoT devices, because I just don't trust them.

Hype. That is why. 99% of web applications don’t need to be SPA. And the majority of the other 1% probably need just a fraction of their app as SPA. Rails gets it right with a Hotwire IMO.

Freescout is really good. Been using it for 2 years with a team of 5-6. Highly recommended.

You should use the same SSID for 2.4GHz and 5GHz. You should also use the same SSID for all APs if they support roaming. Unifi does, for example. If you just get two random independent wifi routers, they won't and you might stay conn

Who are the large Mongo customers? It “seems” like it died 10-15 years ago, but clearly they’re still going.

Based on information publicly available deemed correct and accurate by the company. This is false representation and downright fraudulent. If indeed Twitter lied about their not numbers, there will be a major lawsuit against the company.

Exactly. Falling back to Bash to run scripts makes life easier. Just add a Bash shebang at the top and you're good to go.

I was in a similar situation 2 years ago and I took the plunge. Turns out, the amount I had to rewrite was fairly minimal, and the benefits of Fish are just incredible. I'd say: go for it, you won't regret it!

The new, modern Rails stack is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else out there. Rails truly makes web development enjoyable, fast and effective. It's a shame Ruby and Rails are not getting all the recognition they deserve.

I think it's a bit of both. jQuery served the purpose of making web development more sane back in the day by handling all browser quirks. Part of that was the nice syntax. I personally have tried to drop jQuery, but truthfully, its syn

Been using something similar, McFly, for a while. It works really well. https://github.com/cantino/mcfly

LG just released a 42” OLED tv I’ve been considering using as a monitor. It’s model C2. I know it’s a bit unusual but it might be worth looking into!

I first played this game at a home daycare where the husband worked at IBM. They had a computer in the house, which was extremely rare at the time. It was the first time I had ever seen or used one, and Lode Runner is the only thing I remem

FreeScout is awesome and self hosted. Been using it for over a year and have been super happy. Protip: use Gmail SMTP for ultimate deliverability. I personally have a local Postfix forwarding to Gmail. Works great because it keeps a queue a

I discovered a pretty neat alternative to cafes a few years back. I like to go to the food court at my local shopping mall. It's pretty much empty during the day, has plenty of seating, different table heights, outlets, wi-fi, etc. Nob

It seems like these cross-platform solutions always sound good on paper but end up not being so great in real life. To anyone who’s used this already: is it better than say Xamarin?

There is no maintenance. Owned a Model S for almost 6 years. I literally did zero maintenance. When I tried to bring it to Tesla for a maintenance appointment, they cancelled my appointment and told me that it is useless, and that they don’

We just went all electric with 2 Teslas. The first one is definitely on the more expensive side so we were looking for a cheaper second family car. Something like a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord. We ended up getting a long range Model 3 as o

I added Sorbet to my codebase right after reading the article, but it seems to be expecting that I annotate every single one of my gems. Is this accurate? Is there a way around this?

If Toyota had their own gas stations, I'm pretty sure they could offer a discount to their customers. Why not?

Cash is also a great jQuery replacement. It's slightly larger than Umbrella, but does more. It also supports partial builds to shrink it down further. https://github.com/fabiospampinato/cash

Somewhat unrelated question that I could probably Google, but I figured it's more interesting to hear your take. Why do people on old pictures look like they're from a completely different era? They look like they're from t
