I actually prefer HTML over SPA apps on slower Internet connections. I've found SPAs to be more infuriating to use when the connection is bad.

In the old days before computers, I assume, one wouldn't have to hand over all "database" records. If one were being requested to hand over all patient records, that would probably be a small mountain of data. I think technol

How open is Dropbox to remote work? A lot of places of work "allow" or "tolerate it," but it feels hard to use this working mode for a consistent period. Working from home often has the same stigma as unlimited vacation

Just an idea, if you're really afraid of customs checking your phone, couldn't you bring 2 phones, and hide your real phone deep in your luggage, and bring a moderately used/old smartphone with you? I feel like customs only w

Chinese also is a great language for puns. I was in Taipei a few weeks ago and saw a restaurant named 糖朝 ( tangchao , Sugar Dynasty), when most people would expect to see 唐朝 ( tangchao , Tang Dynasty). In addition, many cultural sayings are

Most of them that have moved to America exhibit China as a "difficult" situation. Speaking to them as someone of Chinese ethnicity (I was born in Phoenix with parents from Taiwan and I also spent time in Taiwan), I don't thin

If we are going by Hanyu Pinyin (漢語拼音), it would be Taibei.

Isn't there that game called That Dragon, Cancer wherein it chronicles the experience of the Greens' raising their son Joel, who was diagnosed with terminal cancer at twelve months old? I wonder what Ebert would have thought.

I sometimes do it within the same table. It's a bit of a hack. What you want is a column called revision_id (something to point back to the master record). You'd want a state column to track if it's a draft, revision, active,

What's scary is the new immigration ban affects legal, permanent residents. US legal, permanent residents that have firmly rooted their lives in the US, only to be told they can't come home.

I notice Puerto Rico and possibly some other territories are missing in the United States selection. Is that deliberate since PR is quite different from the US?

Really? Debugging a kernel is hard yet the people building Linux are located all over the world. You don't really have the option to "screen share" when testing some kernel features, yet Linux is one of the best kernels in th

As far as I know, kernel.org does most of their work decentralized. Is XNU (Darwin) a significantly better kernel? I have doubts about that claim.

I do not understand the obsession the software industry has for locality. Wouldn't it make sense for people to work anywhere? Haven't Bay Area companies heard of something called the Internet? If you have to have people in the off

I think because Trump is not a middle ground for most people. It's almost one of those topics you try not to bring up for fear that you would offend somebody whether you drop criticism or praise.

Politics aside and whatever one's thoughts are on Donald Trump, I think it's good that a leader like Mr. Sacks is joining government.

I still think OS X is a good environment. Not great. Somebody needs to make OS X/macOS great again, because it has become sluggish, bloated, and over-encompassing. I think the earliest versions of macOS/OS X since the Intel tran

Those versions of Python and Ruby are terribly old. Java is no longer included by default. Clang/LLVM/Git is installed only after you download Xcode. I believe that is a consequence of macOS being built with BSD foundations. They&

At the risk of being a contrarian, Apple's focus on being a consumer-product company is deeply rooted from the beginning. You could argue its focus on UI since the beginning of OS X was for consumers rather than developers. Microsoft i

These sorts of lawsuits are going to be necessary with the rise of Trump's EPA--or what should be called Coal Protection Agency. We're about to enter a brave new world of environmental governance, one that is led by a climate chan
