Apathy by developers, really. The Xbox One and above are a really funny shaped Windows machine with HyperV underneath.

There are plenty of reasons to use Tor. Not only to obfuscate location but to defend against mass surveillance, including that of the state [1]. Remember that Tor was developed originally and funded by the US State Department. Tor makes com

When I worked as a technical writer earlier in my career, we had a debug/prod check: If you used a series of words it would fail you in prod (refused to build). These were usually codenames of projects and such. One afternoon, I added

I'm a fan of aria2c [1] in server mode paired with a lightweight WebUI [2]. Works really well on a small machine. Start aria2 as a service in systemd tied to a user with some basic isolation (or put it in a Docker container!) [1] http

The irony here is that nuclear weapons are actually safer to have lying around than conventional weapons; The amount of work that it takes to actually arm and activate a warhead is higher and you get basically one chance to get it right or

You must not remember when most of the good text editors were paid (SlickEdit, KomodoEdit, etc). To this day, there are still editors that are worth their dollars: SourceInsight, SlickEdit. Additionally, a lot of Good software on macOS is p

I think it's worth noting: * Denuvo/Anticheat software tends to hog performance, introduce security issues. See also CrowdStrike, see also CAPCOM.SYS. * Account creation is an issue because most gamers are buying their games throu

on insurance, the number is $400/session. off insurance, the number is $1200/session. I can think of a lot better things to spend $14k a year on.

This is false, and one of the simultaneous boons and banes of the GPL family of licenses. LGPL compliance is achieved purely by providing a copy of your version of the source code; if no modifications have been made to the LGPL portion, a s

As someone who previously worked in an XML-heavy environment, I would rather have an NFL linebacker dropkick me in the head than deal with XML again. Tim Bray himself has had doubts [1] at one point. XML is too big of a hammer for the space

Many have their hands tied. In the biopharma industry, there are strict NDAs and well enforced noncompetes that make it hard to move throughout the industry and sometimes even talk about the work. I work today with someone who interned with

In the networking classes I took, we used binary search to determine where a problem was occurring, but with a slight twist: Each step away from the end device (e.g. workstation, etc.) take two steps upwards in the network. This broadened
