iTunes match. But I don't think you can get it anymore. Been using match for a really long time, no issues. Amazon Music whacked my concert archive at some point, which was unbelievably aggravating. Never again.

Let's take a step back and go back to the three pillars of currency. The consensus is that for something to be a currency it needs to be: * a store of value * a medium of exchange * a unit of account You can stake another step back and

FYI, the RFP process is basically the same in other industries.

I suspect that there's a design document somewhere that has secrets and tips. Plus MacOS and NeXTstep have been ported so many times that by now any arch-level things are well-isolated. A lot of the pain of MacOS on x86 were related to

That's not true for the 6100 but for the 8100 it was totally true. And at some point my 8500 ran 68k faster than any 68040 ever made, which isn't really fair since the 8500 was rocking good.

Apple's historically been pretty good at making this stuff. Their first 68k -> PPC emulator (Davidian's) was so good that for some things the PPC Mac was the fastest 68k mac you could buy. The next-gen DR emulator (and SpeedDou

Qualcomm (and Broadcomm) has total control on the hardware and software side of a lot of stuff and their stuff is shit. It's not about control, it's about good engineering.

If you're in a corporate environment with control over the infrastructure, low DNS TTLs allow you to mostly guarantee a failover. There will always be clients that ignore TTLs, but most of them are fixed by IT rebooting the box. As the

Don't forget Nuntius, which was the best NNTP mac client. MT-NewsWatcher was pretty good too. Good times.

It was the old internet. There was no identity verification. One day identity verification will occur at the network level. Until then, we have all this half-baked shit.

The fascinating thing about the Roman world is that they did so many thing so well, and that those things were done by a very small number of smart people. Rome over time produced a surprisingly large number of those people. I suspect one m

One thing that always drives me crazy about these is that it's not really a great example of how to actually write a query. "Copy values from wireshark" makes a bunch of assumptions, the main one being "the query you saw

Direct deals meaning direct ad sales from vendors to KrAb. At that scale programmatic won't be as lucrative, except as backfill.

Direct deals delivered via the app will make Krolbertsons hundreds of millions of profit a year, probably more than they make off of food.

Because at the time, it was the only way you could message people who weren't on phones and on phones. Over time that changed. Now, it's basically a US thing. In other countries messaging apps are used by the majority.

It's surprising people are arguing about this. That fact alone shows that lots of developers don't understand the relationship between L1/L2 cache, data access patterns, and how prefetching works. That makes sense, given how

A better camera can make you a better photographer, in that it can help you get the image you want. There are pictures I can't get with my 50mm 1.4. There are pictures I can't get with my 200mm 2.8. I can get a reasonable facsimil

Do what you want, and your employer can do what they want. In some ideal dream world the management would just grin and move on. In another ideal dream world the employee would be part of the solution instead of taking potshots at managemen

It's always a tradeoff between blast radius and (in)convenience. With everything in one account someone might accidentally destroy your production environment. That'll be awkward to explain. And with IAC, it could be as simple as

The political parties use race because it divides people. They don't use class because they don't want what happened to the French Aristocracy to happen to them; they'd rather have the proletariat fight amongst themselves tha

phpBB seems to be the last man standing in the forum wars. It's interesting reflecting on the multiple forms that online communication has taken over the last 40 years. They all suck in their own special way.

This can be put in the same bucket as the "Great Man" theory of history. But really, what was the issue? That corporations today put a greater emphasis on performance, efficiency, and profits? Why is that a bad thing?

I picked up 4 PL adapters one day, just to see how well it worked. I could never get two of them to talk, even after plugging them into the same wall socket. This is in brand new construction. I wasn't motivated enough to try harder, s

It's interesting that everyone (including the author) talks about UDP as a lossy protocol, but it doesn't seem that UDP drops actually occur on a routine basis anywhere. The UDP-based DDOS attacks seem to prove that; if UDP really

Race in the US tends to be a proxy for class. Instead of using race as a factor, they can just use family income as a factor. Is "race" (and its manifestations) is a protected class? I'm not sure what the law says. If so tech

Funny that there was no mention of GCC, since it was probably one of the first IRs that anyone encountered IRL. If I remember correctly one motivation for Clang/LLVM was because GCC's IR was so bad. I knew people that wrote backen

Other tips for working with files: always quote filenames, because you never know if there's a space in them. filenames with dashes or periods will kill you prepend current directory file manipulation filenames with "./"
