It is not a club I would care to be a member of in any case, given their history of excluding women and minorities.

I do recall that episode. It was a good lesson in why environmentalism is important, because pollution is a real threat that can hurt us in our own neighborhoods.

I don't think that is really accurate; nothing processes transactions like an IBM mainframe. To draw a crude automotive analogy, no matter how much you soup up a truck, it is never going to be a locomotive. It is simply a different sca

That is very very late. This type of error was inexcusable back in 2009 when Redis first came about. There is no reason to trust this product.

Sure but in a department where people are sysadminning reactively, they’re going to have that problem crop up everywhere. This type of thing wouldn’t be neglected in a well thought-out change process.

There's a good argument for unionizing here. There are few enough COBOL devs that they could demand what they are worth and support it with industrial action.

Bill Gates made all of that money by destroying Netscape, Be, and countless other companies. His dog shit software like Windows 2000 and Internet Explorer set internet security back by about ten years. As far as I'm concerned he is a f

They could upgrade the systems all day long, but the fact remains that the F-16 is a pre-stealth airframe and it is simply the wrong shape. What the Air Force wants in a low end fighter is F-16 level systems in a new stealthy airframe.

I can't decide if this was a completely absurd undertaking, or if because the other side is working the same thing, it makes sense to throw a few dollars at it just in case it turns into something.

It is very much incorrect to put $15/hr wages on that list. The minimum wage is lower than it ever has been, inflation adjusted, and back when the minimum wage was actually that high, it didn’t blow up fast food prices or kill small bu

I too find light switches in large and unfamiliar houses to be confusing. Of all the things Trump could be criticized for, I agree that this one is not fair.

That is so few users that the situation is basically impossible. As a retrocomputing enthusiast and the owner of computers from some of those architectures, that doesn't make me happy. While I find some money, and provide access to a m

I missed it too, but jumped back to the opening single quote when I hit the closing single quote and found it. Must be a coding reflex.

Most certainly. You don’t land a cable in either the US or France without a classified annex to the license that provides for interconnection to their intelligence services.

They probably don't even use it anymore. It would be good of them to at least write something up, if not transfer it to a museum.

Sorry, that was an awkward way to phrase that. I was addressing the thread as a whole, not your specific comment. What I mean is that this is the predictable and proven behavior of Facebook, so is this a target for change now that we don&#x

The original UNIXUX site is very clever, but if the guy who actually wrote it is linking to Medium instead, I’m not sure if we can overrule him.
