I don't "do" reddit, so I'll post mine here. Back when I was a prof., there was a monitor mounted on the wall outside my office whose display I had control of (it was from the previous prof and I inherited it). I connect

To me, 10 years is long enough to completely forget how to fix the problem, once it becomes a problem in 10 years' time. Most people won't document well enough to even be aware that the 10-year deadline is approaching, much less h

Haha... I agree about it being subjective! I find that I enjoy the process as much as the result. It's like bringing order to a chaotic universe. :) The thing is, I don't have many segfaults in C, and I find C much easier to deb

This. This, so very much! I built my websites on Drupal 7 and have enjoyed a decade of stability. Now, with D7 approaching EOL in 1 year, I'm looking for a solution that will last another decade. There's no reason for the EOL,

The big difference between a permissive license and a copyleft license is in the obligation of the user when modifications have been made to the code. A permissive license may require that you make the original source code available to your

I'm actually speaking to a group of University students about this very topic later this week. In my opinion, permissive licenses such as MIT, BSD, and Apache are best for libraries. A library is not the final product, but is a helpful

Don't know why you're getting downvoted. I couldn't figure out how to get past it, but it looked like the article is in English.

Where are you buying DRM-free albums? I'm currently just ripping my CDs (flac), but am completely undecided about new purchases.

I've been hesitant to drop below the provided resolution (1080 for blu-ray), and keep the quality quite high, so a movie is ~8 gigs. But Jellyfin will transcode it on-the-fly if you need a lower quality while streaming, so I wasn&#x27

Rant: I gave up. I cancelled my streaming services. I bought a mini PC (<$100). I started buying blu-rays on FB Marketplace and pawn shops ($.75-$2.00 each). I'm ripping them to a big harddrive (12TB, ~$200). I have Jellyfin ins

I just bought one of these "junk" mini PCS for less than $100 with decent specs, and it came with Windows 10 professional, but it did not qualify to be updated to Windows 11. I didn't even boot into windows. I immediately ins

As for fast forward and rewind while seeing the current scene, we did this back in the days of the VCR. Are they claiming to have invented that?

I loved Drupal back in the day, but at some point (D8+, part of it moving to Symfony), it became too difficult to manage and for me personally to keep up with. But I believe that, in the early days, Drupal made excellent foundational design

Honestly, I like the Bing search engine. They at least give me points in exchange for tracking me, and I cash those in for Amazon credit. I would love to have a search engine, though, that would actually include all the terms that I type in

This is a very interesting problem that I've considered a lot lately, even to the point of planning out a competitor on pen and paper. Here are my thoughts. And, on a personal note, I would absolutely love to build a competitor! Servi

Did you ever figure it out? This is the exact situation that I always liked to show my students, because it shows the power of abstractions, in this case the c++ string object, and the danger of making assumptions about data. And then, fina

Yes, it showed up on my phone this morning. Oddly enough, though, I didn't update my phone this morning, which means that the "feature" shipped a while back and was only recently activated.
