I kinda love how these generally give off a early 2000s Flash site vibe (in a good way, Flash, dear flash, how I miss the aesthetic, creative freedom, lightheartedness that you brought to the interwebbes)

"You only see top" - This goes for everything in the world. I take it you kind of mean that unless you're in the visible top, there's no reason to do it? That's a bleak way of looking at life.. Remember everything i

Nice read. Even if it may not be the entire truth (I'm not making claims either way). It reminds me of an album that put me much into the same headspace as this article, River of Nile - The Work https://www.youtube.com/

A better title is "C isn't just a progamming language anymore" I know the purpose of the article is to shit on C, but the fact that it is the lingua franca _despite_ of it's shortcomings, is more than anything a testamen

One certainly can, and should. However, if I have to chose, I'd rather there be room for people over-reacting than risk there not being room for polite suggestion.. I do believe that the occasionally harsh tone fosters a resilience and

I just read the source and I don't think there's anything notworthy about it, it's not bad. It's just javascript as written in 2013.. I don't think the snark was justified in this case.. Someone writing a quick litt

I've played around with MT a lot, but I can't do music in any program.. But there is this one that shipped with it, Raina - Slumberjack, which is just amazingly beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnrHH_Sy1_

Oh, I see now, yes that's definitely an improvement! Thanks for pointing it out!

Except for the bare pcb thing, it looks cool.. I cringe thinking about long-term exposure to bare PCBs, sure RoHS is a thing, but it's R(eduction), not E(liminiation).. And those guidelines are under the assumption that the electronics

I'm already paying for internet access. (begin of trollish flamebait comment that will get down-voted so hard nobody even knew it existed) I pay for my internet access. I pay for the hardware and electricity to run my server, which ru

Good talent combined with exceptional skill in making stuff run itself. I'm sure many CEOs are spending a lot of time keeping things going.. I think a few (in smaller orgs) are doing busywork because they quite frankly don't know

I avoid companies that won't publish their prices because it signals two things: 1. If you're not going to spend time jumping OUR hoopes to talk with us, you're not that important, we don't care about you, little fish. 2

I'd use blawg chain technology (if you don't know what that is, look it up in a few weeks when I've finished the toiletpaper). I'd build a desktop only native application. You'll have to route ports down to your des

Indeed, I'm not disputing that. However, you still need to mind the context. For instance, there existed computers in 1952.. Saying that "we had computers in 1952" is still right, very few institutions had access to one. Most

There's still enough lack of good password-manager infrastructure that I'll venture to say that FinalKey is still relevant, even in the face of Ubikey and Fido.

I'm certainly not saying that nothing happened before PCs, only that when talking about the past, one cannot say "we had X" based simply on whether X existed somewhere in the world, but one must consider also how widespread t

That's like saying that "we" had computers in 1951.. The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed. Something existing is different from something being in widespread use. When I was a kid in the 90s, I h

I do use facebook and twitter, but generally ignore political posts, reshared posts, ads and news.. what's left you ask? good question, not much.. It's sad that, for me at least, it's still the only place where I can keep a c

I think it's more likely that human-driven cars will become outlawed and infrastructure modified to accommodate fully-autonomous. It's not what I personally would want, as I simply enjoy driving cars and motorcycles, but it's

Good on them! I wish Denmark would do the same. Though, as a software developer, I'm slightly worried how many weird/interesting side-effects it will have, how many places are there strange hardcoded edgecases due to this..

It's high time we rethink search, but it's a really difficult problem. Google were absolutely very good at it, but there are probably multiple factors at play in why they're getting so bad.. The constant "SEO" battl

Personally, I treat setup of the workstation as one-off things, I don't archive configurations for stuff other than vim and an additional script for bashrc. I prefer to have the build and runtime environments be independent of the host

It is a reasonable assumption indeed, but it shouldn't be mindlessly trusted, and the burden of proof of innocence should never be on the defendant. If some idiot system places you on the scene of the crime, fine, good starting point,
