Uh, the apple watch? Airpods? While I personally hate skeuomorphic interfaces, I'll mostly agree with your analysis on Tim Cook. He's an amazing supply chain whiz, but he's not a product guy. The software quality at apple

I don't think (American) GPS currently supports that for the civilian signals, though IIRC Galileo does and there are plans for the American version to support it in the future. However, GPS signals are essentially just the location of

I had to disable "insecure" ciphers on my bastion SSH hosts at work so that we could pass a security audit. The interesting side effect was that a substantial number of scans failed because the scanning software didn't suppo

Their editorial page has always been a bit of a joke (or eccentric, depending on who you ask). Their political reporting has been pro-business (no surprise), though people often confuse pro-business with pro-market. Their business reporti

As a whole Russia’s entrepreneurs are leaving because they know if you get big enough, the corruption will come into play. Their government needs to do more than just loosen up.

To be fair, rural roads are almost always heavily subsidized from higher levels of government. The sparsely used road users aren’t bearing the full cost.

As a Canadian (where most people use debit/credit) my first time in Germany as a tourist I once had to leave my passport as collateral at a restaurant to go find an ATM to pay for our meal as I didn't have €80ish in cash. It flum

Usually at the end of their life, the owners intentional change their orbit to burn them up. I’m not sure about OneWeb, but most of the new satellite internet companies are/were planning low orbit satellites to keep latency down.

They eventually re-enter the atmosphere and burn up, especially if they’re low orbit.

What’s it like? To be so cynical that it makes you so blindingly wrong? Terraform, packer, consul, and vault are all ground up products that solve very interesting problems. Nomad is a solid product. They’re all written from the ground u

A lot of these companies are filled with young "fresh meat" that just don't know any better. If you're just out of college and get hired at one of these places, why wouldn't you believe the spin? Everything is val

Articles like this make me think. There is most certainly a generation of tech workers that have not truly experienced a recession or bad times. I came of age in 2000, but missed the worst of that crash as I was in school. When I graduated

The famous French 35 hour workweek only applies to certain categories of workers though. And even then it’s only where overtime kicks in. Every French white collar worker I’ve known (probably about a dozen or so) was on salary and had sim

I had a similar problem with back pain. Invest in a good backpack that fits properly and try to minimize any other weight, including the backpack itself. I found a timbuk2 bag that worked for me, but go into a store and try one one with you

That's not entirely accurate. Between 1930-1970s (with some hiccups) the USSR was indeed "catching up", but this was because they were industrializing from almost nothing, plus rebuilding after the war. It was the stagnation

PPPoE was such an ugly mess. In its early days there were various server-side OSes (IRIX and one other I can't remember) that had piss-poor TCP/IP MTU implementations. The result was that you ran into random websites that just t

I'm quoting from memory, but IIRC when MS created the NT kernel they were targeting the traditional UNIX space, which is also why they natively supported POSIX(1) at the time (which hilariously was later dropped and now we're back

One interesting note about alpha is that the reason PuTTY exists is that the creator had a windows NT alpha workstation, but there was no native telnet clients that had good terminal emulation for Alpha NT. He supported the alpha build wel
