In my case it's sleep, exercise, and learn new languages.

I'm from the cassette era but at this point I think they are just plastic pollution. I have a single 16GB thumb drive in my car with an absurd amount of music in it. It would take hundreds of tapes to store the same amount of music. Pl

It reminds me of a couple of books: First Steps with your BBC Micro and Second Steps with your BBC Micro. They are filled with cartoons and jokes.

It's a bit weird. I would definitely think there's something wrong with the song, even if I couldn't decifer it.

Use a common prefix or suffix that you don't write down so that even if someone reads your little book (which is unlikely anyway), they won't be able to use the passwords.

I was going to suggest calling on people who haven't used their phone in a while, but there it was in the article. Anyway, a better solution would be for people to have some kind of neighbourhood association so that they can interact a

In 2016 I got a cheap webcam (D-Link 930L) and configured it to ftp motion-triggered images to a pi B which would pass them on to me via Telegram.

It might make sense to flag in the metadata that an index might be needed; then again someone using SQLite will probably know very well which queries are being executed. Also, most of the time joins are made on foreign keys and these should

We should at the very least stop producing and transporting around the globe useless items such as a plastic tree imported from China I saw on sale in Brazil. A plastic tree in Brazil that came all the way from China! It's surreal.

In my experience, a wasp's sting hurts a whole lot more. One bee sting doesn't even hurt much; many probably do. OTOH, you hardly ever find a wasp's nest as large as a typical bee hive. So maybe it makes sense for wasps to ha

Windows is popular with users, because they are afraid of Linux, not because they really know how to use it. Windows is popular with sysadmins because it is easier to administer a large enterprise with it.

This is very important. I've witnessed friends inherit land and businesses they had little interest in and they tried holding on to it just because it was "in the family". If it's not your thing, just sell it and carry o

You can get routers with OpenWRT from the factory. So there's not even the cost of reflashing them.

BASIC was very practical for 8 bit machines. You didn't even need an editor, because you could just retype a line. It was also very straightforward for a complete novice (as most people were with those machines). In any another environ

Brilliant video and software. I remember using something very similar on a BBC Micro. I don't think it was so detailed (but it did have colours!).

Oracle Apex will have to be considered too. It's undeniably a good platform for developing applications and firms get hooked on it.

Oracle requires a lot of maintenance and is terribly buggy. And the documentation is not always complete. Postgresql, on the other hand, is dead simple to manage. It's my dream to move all my Oracle databases to Postgresql.

I wonder if such a solution could have been used for the Donbas: offer space in Russia to those opposed to Kiev rule. Russia needs people, after all.

Indeed, we went from ZX81 in 1981 to Amiga in 1985. Every new project was obsolete or nearly so at launch.

They're too general. I think we'll start to see progress when methods say something about what is being built: a small site, a worldwide site, an internal bookkeeping app, car software, or whatever. Each kind of project needs to h

I have used Perl and Win32::OLE for this kind of job. Converting to PDF is actually quite easy. Before Office 2010, you had to print to Postscript and then convert to PDF using Ghost. Nowadays Word gives you the option of saving to PDF.

I've been following the news about the energy crisis in Cuba. It's astounding that they should have so much sun and not take advantage of it. Their plan is to have 24% of renewables by 2030.

The economy is not nature. The Great Depression showed us the economy can simply tank and stay down if nothing is done about it.
