Mosh uses ssh to establish a session and then runs its own separate UDP daemon to take over from there. So it would not surprise me if it just works.

Lawyers have always touted their services as a way to "help you get justice". This is the same thing, just with a more scalable business model. So objecting to the word "justice" in the context ignores long-established u

Prediction: if universal basic income starts to become an imminent possibility, the existing public and private sector welfare bureaucracy will lobby against it. Because it will put them all out of a job. Not coincidentally, this is also ho

Yup, and it's even worse than that, because the stock price also depends on things beyond the scope of your company entirely. Your compensation can fluctuate based on what Janet Yellen says in a speech.

Outside of the actual software industry, sure. But rule #1 of getting paid well as a developer is to work for a software company. It's not just the big few who pay really well. There are whole constellations of medium to small software

You can also just test children's blood. That is much more direct and would catch the problem whether it's the paint at home, the water, the paint at grandma's house, etc... The problem is cumulative, so if you're testin

This is a clear example of a cartel that's only possible because of bad intellectual property laws. Without these dubiously long patents, there would be plenty of new competitors who would want a piece of that $12 billion.

The thing that impressed me most about MobileDoc is how nice the copy/paste support is. You can paste in all kinds of rich content and it does the right thing -- both your own custom cards, and arbitrary HTML gets cleaned up to match o

If you program for a living and you worry about hosting costs for small projects, you are misjudging your opportunity cost. You are valuing yourself way too low. You're going to pour $5000 or $10000 worth of your time into a project, b

At least in the flying-robot space, I think cheap batteries and sensors have been at least as important. The sensors -- primarily accelerometers -- are etched in silicon, and benefit from a lot of the same cost and quality improvements as o

Thanks for making the utter bankruptcy of Baudrillard's ethics so plain for all to see. Usually it's hiding under much more jargon. > More kids are in school? For what? To be a white collar slave? To be a white collar slavemast

There is an insidious survivorship bias here: all that leisure time was only enjoyed by the ones who survived. A society where the mean lifetime is 35 that works 20 hours per week gives people significantly less total leisure time than a so

Plenty of parts of the US government do know. I've seen multiple DoD networks where hardware tokens are the required form of authentication.

In my experience of trying to sell software to healthcare organizations, they are practically immunized against better software. They are institutionally allergic to agile, iterative improvement. It sounds too scary. They want big-design-up
