I’m a big fan of MWL’s tech books. (Can’t speak to his fiction as my brand of ADHD doesn’t really let me consume much fiction). But I think he has struck a chord with the tech community on this one. Those of us that do sysadmin things, pers

I figured no one made money off the in-app purchase because so few vendors even give the option anymore. I make a living off software development myself, and I love the "pay to remove ads" model. I play a game a while with ads to

The things you are saying here sound like your attitude is in the right place, but did you actually read the TOS your legal team sent out?

I'm really interested in hearing more of what people have to say about this. It seems I often hear/read the general thought on security is that you should use open systems (ie: Cyanogenmod w/o GApps + Debian), but the author

I'm excited to try out the maildir support. I've been looking forward to this coming out. I don't really understand the Thunderbird to IceDove flow, I wonder when these features will make it to Debian unstable/testing?

Yeah, I've done it, and it is harsh. Easier to do a clean Jesse install and manually set things up. Basically you would want the dotfiles from /etc/skel on a crunchbang install, and then several of the custom scripts (I think

I had a feeling this was coming, based on the fact Corenominal is mostly running Jessie with Gnome in some of his recent posts, and the lack of development around the Jessie based version. I think Corenominal is a stand-up guy in general, a

yeah, the point isn't so much to make it readable, but to allow you to write JSON (as a python dev I love the interoperability with JSON) and then use the capabilities of the DataPower to do stuff with it. I expect many people were doi

I worked on the Datapower team soon after IBM acquired the product. Its a very cool device. But I read the headline and threw up in my mouth a little.

This sounds smart. And I'm pretty pragmatic. I don't think Google and Apple and Microsoft are really trying to ruin my privacy. But something about this makes me uncomfortable. The fact that when this appeared on the front page of

This is pretty fascinating, but all the text piled on the right (in FF) and links to articles about Sims 2 and Far Cry make me feel like I've wandered off into the part of the building I'm not supposed to be in.

Agreed. JavaScript is super useful. But it straddles a couple of paradigms in a way that makes it hard for me to recommend as a first language.

It's amazing in some ways, but I'm concerned it held Windows back to maintain such a high level of reverse compatibility for so long.

This is link bait. HP is just doing what we used to do until the 90's, making an OS tied to the hardware to optimize things. They have done this before. Banks are still heavily run off of mainframes and IBM Power servers that aren&#x27
