I was an admin for an ISP in the 90s. I used to read your email. I was a kid. Sorry.

I clicked the link. I read the article. Understood the code. I like rust. I forgot to click upvote button. Thanks for the reminder.

Currently unemployed now (not due to ethics, but due to culling of tech jobs). I'm screwed. I won't take an unethical gig though. I have mentioned it before, I think my time is done here. :-/

Many years ago I quit my job at a search engine company for my personal ethics, because they had me start manipulating search results based on who paid for their entries.

You're using the word "safe" in the wrong context here.

"we have no plans to change our $15 per month pricing" So nice of them to exclude mentioning "all plans". Ugh, here comes a huge rate hike. I'm paid up until November. $30/month for "unlimited" was a

I suppose BitTorrent for Images should be a thing (again?) Discussions of decentralization and redundancy always come up in software/system design and development, but we seem to always gravitate to bottlenecks and full dependency on s

Going from nostalgic innovative technology to war machines it’s not something I love. ‘Merica.

I had suggested that concept on Twitter a few years ago to a certain CEO. I don't (and didn't) have the visibility that certain people have to get a reaction. I'm sure NHSTA would have something bad to say about it like &quot

I've been doing this stuff for decades. It has become an unbearable career. It's too late for me in life to change it as there are other circumstances that have made certain paths impossible for me to do. I'm screwed. Meanwhi

My contract was just cut early at a large corp. So, this is awful. Second time I have lost a gig in the past 2 years. I can't take this biz anymore. About time to jump off a friggin' cliff.

It is very hard to leave platforms. You lose a voice you had. When you rely on communicating with others, where the platform was the mechanism, then you end up severing some severe ties. Most are anonymous accounts, so there is no easy way

Others will have better answers, but if you just think about it, exploding a nuclear device emits a lot more energy than it took to release it. It’s a conversion, you’re not violating anything. Obviously causing a nuclear explosion is not a

I’ve been using IntelliJ since version 2. It is the best tool I’ve ever used. It’s grown with me throughout my career, and supported almost every language and change that I’ve needed. I had to resort to using Xcode because I was doing iOS

Decoding would probably be an issue. It’s already on the cusp with the current audio files, mP3s would probably throw it over the edge.

If you would’ve done the math first I wouldn’t have enjoyed the conversation. Now we know. I actually had a globe back in the day that did have raised areas for land. That was obviously not to scale. Now you have to figure out how to explai

I expect the Amazon version to require wi-fi or cellular, will have microphones and cameras for “Alexa support”, and will automatically submit the stream to the police of what the Amazon operatives, sorry “operators”, deem sketchy. Remember

Exactly. Many people actually ”need” things, but always end up getting beaten by the person who has more $. It’s just constant battering of people that aren’t as well off as others. It’s often a disgusting system. The poor always suffer due

In the mid to late 90s I was spending the beginnings of my tech career writing code in VBScript, running on IIS (ASP). I wanted access to larger distributed systems, and I knew I could not do this with the Microsoft products. I learned Java

We have holidays that commemorate the birth and death of mythical gods. This holiday has merit. Try to remember the fact that we don’t have slavery anymore, and it’s a human right to NOT be one. It could’ve been you next.

8 hour charging session? What decade do we live in? How do you think it will be by then? I wait like 20 minutes if I need to use a supercharger. I pretty much never do, because I don’t travel that much. 8 hours is hyperbole.
