I also write my scripts to stay /bin/sh compatible. If this is not enough, then a real scripting language should be used, not bash. But I very much agree that lack of pipefail is painful. If I know that output on the left of the p

The articles sounds like an advertisment to use Elm. Immutability and value semantic is enforcd by the language and the typesystem is rich enough to allow to use generic data sructures while been statically typed. As a functional language E

Methanol fuel cells are very inefficient at 30%. It is still better than internal combustion engine, but with H2 one gets over 70%. Still I agree that for niche applications like electrical cars in a very cold climate methanol fuel cells sh

That info should be synced to the car, not the phone. So requiring periodic connectivity from the phone is a bug, not a feature.

Google runs both Chrome and Analytics. And they do not warn explicitly that other Google products may store the history even in the private mode. Which some may interpret that Google lies when claiming about their private mode. So the case

At GDPR presentation that I attended recently in Norway the message was that IP addresses must be masked if they go to a permanent storage. For IPv4 it could be OK to clear the last byte of the address, but in general the message was to sa

I am surprised that people in biology are trying to build predictive theories. Even in physics the moment one needs to deal with a number of strongly interactive components, we cannot calculate from the first principles. We still have no th

Recently I was able to read a book from 1850 because somebody bothered to go to a library, scan it and publish as ebook for 1USD. And the book itself was a new print for a work that was published 50 years before so it was published after th

For software development even 16GB is not enough these days. But for many other tasks 8GB is OK. iPad Pro max memory is 6GB and with right applications it is rather good at video and graphical editing.

Chromium still insists on 80 character limit. But they use 2 character indent, not 8 as Linux kernel, so it less frequently leads to ugly indented long line splits. 80-character limit is nice as side-by side diffs, reviewing tools and showi

In many cases it is pointless to ask a person why they are good at a particular skill. At best on get a honest answer that a person does not know. At worst one hears an elaborated story that at first sounds plausible, but then a realization

2 people in the shuttle crew were pilots trained to land the shuttle. That was their primary job. Surely they were capable to do other things, but they could not be sent into the space for months and keep their skills intact. So the real nu

It is interesting that PHP is ruled out as insecure. I am not sure that for system administration tasks modern PHP is particularly worse than Perl and these days more people know PHP than Perl.

Something like Amp [1] or Kakoune [2] ? As with vim they are modal, but one needs to press less keystrokes and they are more intuitive as they use object_letter -> action_letter, not action_letter -> object_letter model. [1] - https:

The equations do reveal that! As Wikipedia pointed out in the idealized model the current is infinite and the time to settle is zero. Thus the energy loss is proportional to ∞*0 , that tells immediately that the model is not applicable.
