As a counter to your first example, I once had software deployed in some U.S. embassies in some not so great parts of the world. The machines the software lived on were air-gapped and on computers built specifically not to allow external co

Not sure if this will be considered off topic, my apologies if so. The article says that octopi is the plural of octopus, but it's actually octopuses. Octopus is originally Greek, not Latin and thus does not get the Latin plural -i, bu

Not sure what the policy is on self-promotion but if you're using Rails, my company wrote https://github.com/CatchRelease/stenographer to keep our team up to date on changes. It works by detecting [changelog foo]

For me it's still software, the hardware is definitely solid. My experience is from when Windows 10 first came out so maybe it's all fixed now. The process to upgrade involved waiting for the bubble to pop-up in the bottom right.

I feel like another step missing or at least not fully acknowledged is knowing your competition. I just did a quick check and both Angie's List (1995) and Yelp (2004) were around years before this idea (2010). While it's certainl

What i'd really love to see is an administrating Elasticsearch guide and a common recipes guide, both would be super helpful for getting started and more advanced tasks. Having run into issues with Elasticsearch data scaling, trying to

Sounds to me like you need to have a discussion with your friends or pare down your friends list. If you are old enough to have a boss and a schedule, your friends should be old enough to not post a photo of their morning accomplishment. Pr

Ugh, maybe i'm the only one that hates this but if I have to spend time/effort just to get a price for something it's already off the table as a choice. This makes it seem like it's either too high priced and you know it or the pricing sche

Another option, though still expensive, is to use the Google Earth Enterprise tools. They basically let you build your own private Google Maps though this too runs into some problems. 1.) Imagery, 2.) Cost for GEE ($10k I think), and the co
