Jeez, War Games was my inspiration too. I saw myself as that clumsy nerd ("Remember you told me to tell you when you're acting rudely and insensitively?" I ask my wife to do that to this day :)

Happened with my kid's phone too. Had to settle with an older backup that I had made manually via iTunes.

I mean, being rich and powerful already makes a whole lot easier for a man to conquest women (and vice-versa), I don't like it but that's the way it is - just riding a better car creates a lot of opportunities like I have myself e

I'd even argue that his case is not a priority, but 'her' case would certainly be.

The problem is Office. It is actually a problem of two sides. 1) Libre/OpenOffice was never satisfactory. It is ugly and crashes. Tried many times using it since 1999 and it gets worse and worse. Pity, because StarOffice was a perfectl

I don't think it will happen anytime soon. I can see autonomous car mode enabled in " controlled" environments like highways and advanced cities but there are a lot of countryside roads and trails where even cell phones don&#

Difficult to believe. Cars are being churned day and night for decades, all of them use a lot of minerals. At least (in my understanding) the rare minerals that go into electric cars and their batteries are recyclable. Once the fleet is bui

Don't like COBOL but the way it specifies data formats was practical. 9(5) = 5 digits, X(20) = 20 characters, etc. From time to time I catch myself using these while drafting a table or data structure.

Price of real estate is insane everywhere. Here in Brazil there are not many foreigners buying houses but prices are completely unrelated to income since 2010. It has more to do with cheap money, lack of other investment opportunities (at l

It is a bit difficult to compare directly because I am Brazilian. An ERP dev does around R$ 6k/mo (roughly US$ 24k/year, but labor costs make it cost US$ 48k/year to the employer.) A typical hourly rate is R$ 150-200 (US$ 50-

I like the part that shows how similar companies end up with different tax rates. Otherwise, I am not sure that federal corporate income tax isn't high, if you consider that any dividends paid to actual persons pay income tax again. I

A colleague was hard-pressing me about which advantages could Postgres have in relation to M(ySQL|ariaDB), these extensions (not this particular extension, but the concept of) seems to be a definitive advantage.

The primality test uses Fermat's Little Theorem, but I thought it was not 100% perfect. (Or perhaps it is for left-truncatable primes?) I didn't know about the third parameter in pow(), either. Quite interesting.
