DOSBox. Though technically an emulator. Most people that want an easy way to run old DOS apps are probably better served with DOSBox anyway.

probably worth mentioning is Chrome last year started assuming a default SameSite cookie of "Lax", rather than the previous default of "None". Let's just say, certain people were caught with their pants down on that

Glad I'm not the only one that has noticed this scam going on. I've seen a number of sites doing it. One site I saw this on you had to wait an entire minute. Guess it's time for a new set of laws...

you could probably use a weight system. Yesterday's upvote is worth a value of 1. Today's upvote is a value of 2, etc. Then store the absolute count in another column/field if you need that.

I wonder if Reddit is ever going to fix their "you broke reddit" thing. I probably see that page a couple dozen times a year, and it's been going on since, what, 2014? Earlier maybe? It's like the Twitter fail whale. Exc

this isn't an iOS issue. That blog post is broken on Firefox Android as well, and in Chrome dev tools. There is a display inline-block messing it up. The newer blog posts display fine.

Mad Men missed the opportunity to really highlight that connection. By the 1950s Don Draper would have been intimately familiar with Freud and Bernays and the effort to get women to smoke. He was quite dismissive for being the best ad man i

React really has nothing to do with SPA and is only the "V" in MVC. So I'm curious how you were modeling your data in the first place. Since you didn't mention the backend language, I'm going to assume you aren&#x27

I always wondered: why is Apple allowing WeChat to exist? Their mini apps seem in direct competition with the app store. Is this a China political thing? Are they worried about losing all access to the market there? It seems clear Apple is

github took down our eng dept probably half a dozen times last year. I don't even see how they hit 3 nines last year. It was insane. Even before that we had to switch off Azure. That was a sad joke of a service. They must be running th

wouldn't be surprised people miss the SQL question. Full stack devs are rather rare nowadays, and it's a bit obscure SQL trivia considering the answer is dependent on which SQL db you're using.

To all the people I woke up at 2am from dialing potential BBS numbers from dubious outdated sources, I apologize. I was 12 and needed that rush of excitement from discovering a new board. Each BBS had its unique ANSI. A room for files, anot

Obfuscation is the point. None of it designed to make it easy or to make sense. Because if people realized they are being taken for a ride, no one will show up and empty their wallets. It's what corrupt businesses and dictatorships do.

This sounds just like the headaches I had about a year ago using ESM for isomorphic code, with node. The only thing that ever worked was, of course, Babel.

There are many things that require tremendous practice and study that aren't worth your time as well. You have to justify it somehow. And I just don't see the value prop in Nix yet. I would compare it as such: Nix is to Docker w

HIPAA is always going to be a joke. Walk around the hospital's parking lot and drop a bunch of malicious USB drives with the logo of the hospital on them. Someone is bound to pick one up and stick it in a machine on the network.

Oh, definitely. I'm sure they do take it seriously. I just don't believe taking it seriously to be the same as actually producing results. Managers still take OKRs/KPIs seriously. There are still people that believe in the he

Yes, but that would destroy the illusion of a meritocracy and the idea that these companies are basing their hiring decisions on rational, objective metrics and not simply making it up as they go along. Steve Yegge made that observation man

The issue is cross comparison, not reading from the manual of a single board. In the past you could look at the physical motherboard layout and could compare it with another motherboard. Today, it's merely a suggestion. You take the ph

historically, this is exactly the role Perl has played. It's also why people keep repeating the nonsense that Perl looks like line noise. Because the only Perl code people are familiar with are throwaway scripts written by (usually) so
