Kinda overblown. Every country I've ever been to (not all, more than most) has a hard distinction between "you here for fun?" and "you here for business?". So many hours negotiating paperwork the 'for busines

Borland had Turbo Modula-2. Modula-2 is a pretty good language, and very small. It was the teaching language for my OS course in college. Then we got into Ada, and I thought it was a much more 'industrial' language; much more ba

You might be surprised/horrified at the number of shops I run into that use shared creds without a password manager, still use creds from ex-employees because changing them smells too much like work, and ask "why would I do that

It doesn't sound 'harsh'. It sounds 'condescending', especially when paired with a completely insincere "I apologize...". It is about that life is too short to do things that are almost nonsense. Jeez y

Tangentially, one dimension by which I can divide my friend-groups is when I say "I do a lot of work with Cisco(Sysco)" is the group that by default thinks "he's a network guy" and those who think "he's in

I have hordes of documents. Funny enough, one of my attorneys taught me a lesson a long time ago around this. Simplified, she said "only and idiot claims to have lots of documents" to support their action. Sure, it's the

Computers are still never fast enough. But for 95% of users, if you said "you can have a computer that's 5x as fast, but won't run any of the software you use every day", they'd pass.

I think it's a little more than that. The Lisp machines were very expensive (though the single chip version made things like a MacIvory or MicroExplorer somewhat more affordable), very proprietary, and generally didn't run the
