I’d been dodging layoffs for 20 years until I got laid off for the first time, late last year. My personal situation isn’t bad at all. Meaning my wife has insurance through her job and we have plenty of cushion. I’m spending time on a hardw

It’s gratifying to read so many people come to the same conclusion about gradle in this thread. There was an article a long time ago that made the case that most all build tools conflate two basic things; dependency management and compilati

Just a note that the dogs/Tines aren’t telepathic but communicated via high frequency sound. The idea was exploring an entity that existed as a society of minds and how that would look from a practical perspective. There’s a story in t

Marooned in Realtime is probably my all time favorite work of science fiction. It altered my perspective on a lot of things.

The thing I most enjoyed about the stargate franchise was how the alien tech tree was discovered over time. The series didn’t plan for this (I don’t believe) and in later seasons it all got kinda bizarre and wonky. I don’t know of many othe

Interesting, what languages are supported? I did not see a list, only the comment “multiple languages supported”. As others said diagrams sell but notoriously hard in practice due to the “hair ball” problem.

That is a surprising revalation; that iptables filters traffic depending on Linux implementations details. One could imagine the outcry if firewall vendor X suffered a similar “feature”. Or is this well known for Linux iptable users?

Ha the burden of proof is on those who think software should be a factory side, because it hasn’t worked for software yet, after many years, a lot of MBAs and a lot of snake oil.

This comment highlights another facet of why software is an art less so a repeatable science; ignorance of what has come before and the absence of a widely accepted body of knowledge on how to do the thing. This author seems to legitimately
