It'd be nice to see an example of a socialist county that hadn't been constantly attacked and sabotaged by capitalist countries and allowed to go its own way. Then at least we'd be able to do a fairer comparison.

Oh I understand perfectly well the reason why the Senate and the Electoral College and superdelegates in e.g. the Democratic Party were created. It was because the founders were afraid of actual democracy and they wanted to ensure their ow

Mostly what I hear is the internalized "No! Don't eat it! Too many calories!". If I don't hear that (or conjure up that voice) then I end up eating the bagel. It's like that for any bit of food I see laying around.

A lot of times I hear music in my head. Usually it's the last thing I listened to, over and over unless I consciously start another song. Some blessed times it's a totally new thing and I scramble to write it down. I can stop this

After figuring out Ansible work I started using it to manage several personal VPS machines and the various boxes at home. I just used the Ansible docs, which are pretty good.

Looks neat but it's a service, which is kinda the opposite of rolling something for yourself.

I wish there was a method for printing QR codes or URLs on paper that would be the reverse of scanning a QR code. This would make it easy to write complex URLs in your paper diary/techo/commonplace book/notebook.

> Its no wonder young people are skeptical of capitalism - it seems to literally be eating the goose. Not even the goose that laid the golden egg - just the goose, in hopes there might be a golden egg inside. I love this comment.

I was blessed/cursed to use Radio Shack's standard cassette player/recorder with my TRS-80 Model I. You had to use the proper volume settings when loading and saving data. The settings were different for BASIC and machine c

I bet you could find all sorts of exciting ways to really screw up your system using this tool! I'm sure it has its uses if you're careful.

My oldest code has been in use for about twenty years. Not because it's any good but because it does a job and the organization cannot be bothered to spend the minimal amount of money it would take to replace it with something better.

That work which benefits society goes unrewarded while work that is actively destructive towards our planet and our democracy is very lucrative. That most technical people seem to have no ethics, no morals, no empathy, and no scruples. Th

Sounds like an interesting system! I'm working on a digital archiving system that is conceptually similar except that I also have to manage binary files (and also doesn't have to store critical patient data). The system stores m

When I lived in Japan I would pass dozens of small shops every day on my way to and from work: in my neighborhood and in the areas around the train stations I passed through. On weekends I went in to the city to buy things I couldn't

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned using git-annex (and Git of course) to manage data (full disclosure: I develop an archival management app which keeps its data in git/git-annex repositories). Of the seven key properties, git-an

Most people in the U.S. have never been to a country with an actual transportation system. They can't imagine that it could be any different and will get angry if you point out to them.

I realized I could never capture a place the way a trained photographer with the proper equipment would, so it was useless to try. When I visit a place I take pictures of the people I'm with who make it memorable but don't try to

The Amish don't use solar because it's green, they use it because it enables them to stay off the grid.
