When I was in school there was a lot of fear about not using Microsoft in public schools (Windows, Office, etc.) because of not preparing students for office jobs. Nowadays most schools use Chromebooks or iPads. And plenty of jobs use Googl

As someone who is often doing outdoor activities and sports in a very hot, humid area I can't find a good alternative to plastics for clothing. But they last a long time. I have a lot of synthetic workout clothing well over a decade ol

Reminds me of over a decade ago I was in a high school AP course. At the start of the course, the teacher recommended we get a AP prep book to study throughout the year, and recommended 2 brands. She specifically said not to get one brand,

We were evaluating CircleCI at work (wanting to move on from Jenkins) and ended up going with GitHub Actions near launch as it was a similar enough project but without needing another vendor involved. We have had some kinks but GHA works we

There are some fairly recent versions of Gecko that have been backported to Windows 95. I played around with RetroZilla a few years ago on Windows 95 and was able to get many modern sites to work. The K-Meleon project has even more recent w

Should I not be using Kafka? Or CouchDB? I guess we shouldn't using log4j at this point though...

Burma/Myanmar unfortunately has more scrutiny because it's a current political issue. Some see the new name as associated with the current military government. The US officially calls the country Burma (e.g., CIA World Factbook:

I mean there was plenty that happened in this space between 1992 and 2007. Smartphones were already ubiquitous for business users by 2007 but not for general consumers, including Blackberry, PalmOS, and Windows Mobile devices. As late as 20

Last time I got a new laptop, I simply ordered a Lenovo Thinkpad (X1 Carbon, not Extreme) with Linux pre-installed. I am past where I want to tinker to get the hardware and software working together, but do prefer Linux as my daily driver.

I was in Henry County, GA, which has a lot of poor areas (including where I was living) with no MARTA in place. It's been over a decade since I lived there, but I'm not sure what's in place now.

I lived in an apartment in suburban Atlanta that was 4 stories in a county with no public transit whatsoever. Plenty of places in the U.S. have little or no public transit in the US but also have the density to support apartment buildings.

Interesting. I live in a big MSA (Atlanta, which includes a lot of mostly rural counties). I've considered a role at Google, but currently work in a suburb and live further out from there. 1 hour to Atlanta proper without traffic, but

That's helpful. Whenever I hear people rail against corn, I think of all the corn dishes I love as a southerner. Cornbread, grits, corn on the cobb, and at Thanksgiving, corn pudding. My wife has got me to like polenta as well. But tho

Many gas stations are still magnetic strip only. It was the majority as of a couple of years ago, but it's shifting quickly. That said, I still very frequently encounter gas stations that don't accept chip or tap, only strip.

In my area most restaurants with table service don't have an easy way to do tap-to-pay (a few chains have something at the table for you to pay at that supports it). Also two of my most common retailers do not (Kroger and Home Depot).

I still use Konqueror as a file browser. There was a day I used it for web browsing + file managing (back in KDE 3 days), but there's very few updates being made to KHTML these days and it has stagnated.

Apple's Safari also uses a distinct rendering engine, Webkit. Chrome is based on Blink which was forked from Webkit and the two are quite different now, including in terms of supported features.

Google did it with ChromeOS. Sure it's more limited in scope but it's built using traditional GNU/Linux components in a user friendly and polished way.

That's not true. Most just charge a surcharge for under 25. When I was under 25 I bought a AAA membership which waved that surcharge as several major car rental companies.

The last place I rented (about 5 years ago), in a major metro area, my landlord would only accept a check from a local bank. I mostly used on-line bank accounts, but I had one account at a CU with a branch 30 minutes away. They would drive
