I got tickets for a concert in UK, which could only be bought if you had UK Ticketmaster app. No, the international version of Ticketmaster app did not have these. Had to get me a blank Android phone, had to initialize it pretending I'

Do not forget huge pages configuration in kernel - Postgres will use them and it will save a lot of RAM for large databases, esp with many connections. One of the ways to configure is to continue adding nr_hugepages to kernel, restarting PG

I started with Stroustrup's C++, it already had templates back then.

I remember the C++ ca. 1994 year when I started my career. It was C with Objects back then. And it was great! C++ was better C, it was easy for any C dev to convince him/her to jump to it. I recently had to work with C++ code and... it

Missed the point on communicating with the Tax Govt people by snail mail - you want it that way. Working with them over phone or email will inevitably lead to you being hit with fines and other nasty scenarios. Always get a lawyer to repres

That Venn diagram showing a child coming out from center of two round overlapping circles might be not the best choice, especially when pink color circles are at play when looking for feminine names :-) P.S. A bit of noise in the data too,

Turning 50 this year, writing code for living, and could not agree more. I used to think all must be re-written and refactored. "Old crap must go". "I can do it better". But then one realizes the rewritten system is &quo

I was raised in Eastern Bloc in 70 and 80s. Svejk was the classic we all read as teenagers. We have seen that as parody of communism and always wondered how is that book not censored or forbidden? Now I realize it describes any sufficient e

He is saving our bike tires rather, as he seems to ride the shoulder more than the car lanes (and rightly so). I live in Atlanta, ride both car and bicycle and do not have flat tire more often than average. Perhaps thanks to his help!

Most folks commenting seem to miss the fact this is for text messages only, and likely "emergency" ones, i.e. rate limited, at that. This would not result in power drain during normal LTE operation, but - my guess - would instead

We learned to make a distinction based solely on "mechanisation" aspect: - email vs spam, - phone call vs robo-call, - hand drawn vs a copy machine (to some extent), - etc.

All this requires the DC appliances to be the same voltage, as transformers on DC is a tough task.

Top Gear had a few episodes with old vs new comparisons. Needless to say the not-so-old classics were destroyed by average modern cars quite often [1]. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw-zCsybNtg

As Jim Keller himself famously put, Moore's law is still fine. Furthermore, the number of people predicting end of Moore's law doubles every 18 months, thus following the Moore's law itself.

Agreed 100% The last time C++ "made sense" to me was 1998 reading and practicing Bjarne Strostrup's C++ book. It was better C then and a lot of these improvements made sense.

This resonates with me so well. Every time I'm tired, hungry or horny, it very quickly changes how I perceive reality. Keep that state long enough and things change shape and meaning, as if I'm tuning my senses to new frequency.

Would it be a consolation to realize they were parted with their money? To me this seems like a scheme to steal their wealth outright, providing some plausible deniabolity for the cryo folks. "Oh well, the investments did not pan out,

When you really mess up a call center, it is called a gopher event - entire floor having lost their audio suddenly stands up in their cubicles and looks around. Been there, caused that.

In my case, with every new challenge I try not to repeat mistakes of the past. I change things and sometimes for good. And yes, need a break every now and then!

I feel you. The part that resonates with me the most is we have a choice to make: give up or fight. Our time will pass either way. I had many of these moments in my life and, after some hesitation, always picked the get up and fight mode. I
