   It really depends on context. There are times when it's useful, and times when it's not. It's helped me at times in improving code coverage when developing software for medical devices, so I thought I'd mention it. The t

   While we are talking about dynamic memory allocation and de-allocation, a useful trick at times is to wrap your mallocator with a bit of code so that you can program it to fail after, say, n allocations, or on a random basis. In a testing

   I share your interest. To speed up a process, I usually try to identify the rate-limiting step (the constraint.) I would guess that one of the factors that affects the time required to see through the illusion of a separate, egoic self, is

   I do think that would be possible. Your question seems to be along the lines of "Is it possible to speed up the process of seeing that the separate, egoic self is an illusion?" I think it is. In fact, Rupert Spira and others talk

   Fully agree, and thank you. Regarding Alan Watts, maybe check out the chillstep recordings of his different talks on YouTube, if you have not already done so. They are excellent!

   For much of my life, I was a jerk. I was insecure and often became offended and unkind when things didn't unfold the way I thought they should. It really screwed up my relationships and in my mid-50s, I found myself pretty much angry a

   I don't know if I have favorite resources to recommend. I know there are a ton of YouTube videos and podcasts that offer a lot of good ideas. I like reading the Linux Kernel Mailing List and tech notes. Simply buying any one of the che

   I'm a 62, almost 63, year old programmer. Thanks for being open-minded. It's been a great career for me. My first computer was a PDP-8/E and an ASR-33 teletype. I've had the good fortune to see a lot of computer history

    Thank you. I think I figured out what was bugging me. I see the relationship as rent-seeking[1]. I'm assuming the agency is going to take somewhere between 25 - 30% cut on all hours billed to the client. Over the first year, that amoun

    All of what you say makes sense. One option, I suppose, is take the gig and work it for a year, while working on finding a better one during that time. I really don't like the idea of having a third party in the mix, for the same reaso

    I appreciate your help. The reservation I have is that I still have to wade through a raft of shit when it comes to sorting out legitimate texts that wound up in Unknown Senders because they weren't in my Contacts. I would like more co

    Yep, SPEED-1 and SPEED-2 were products of a company called "TOM Software," where TOM was short for "The Office Manager." Here's a little inside baseball on that. TOM Software (Burien, Washington) had many applicatio

    I had a TeamViewer subscription for a few years. Getting it cancelled when I elected not to renew it was tedious and difficult. I don’t recommend TeamViewer anymore. My opinion is that they are janky as hell.

    You are right about this. One of the visible signs of an unrecognized (and therefore, unresolved) dilemma is oscillation between two poles. I got this from the late Eli Goldratt and the problem-solving tools he created. One of those tools i
