That reminds me that I have enjoyed all of Singh's books. But I recall he was sued for his last one and has not published in over 10 years?

Perhaps. When I read it, I thought it was enlightning, but I was quite green and not so exposed to OOP by then. I know it has got a bad reputation later, but that it established a language to talk about certain concepts has been impactful.

Design Patterns by Gang of Four. I know this will be criticized but I like how it approaches programming on a higher level than language level.

This was not really the case when cellphones were not yet also smartphones. Sure, you may have checked your text messages now and then, but the phone was not a constant attentiongrabber.

I didn't remember it was so close but those were the days I obsessively read Slashdot, which helped during 9/11, and which certainly covered the epoch event.

Yes you are absolutely right. In this case it is about Tesla, owned by the richest man in the world. In other cases it has been about a salad bar run by an ordinary small-business owner. The "Swedish model" is that they should all

For science, I see how one insight leads to another, and there is a progression which leads to deeper and deeper understanding. And if there never was a Newton, gravity would have been described by someone else not too long after. That seem

My bet: They will toss it in a closet, but it will not be discovered in 1000 years. It will be gone before then. If you want future generations to see your photos, print them out. People will have too much else to worry about than decrypt o

I think the topic of Lennart's talks usually is very interesting but his delivery assumes the audience knows much more about the subject than I do, at least. Most other talks I watch I have an easier time to follow.

He publishes a video daily about his current boat building [1]. He is 83 years old, plans to sail from Norway or Ireland to New Zealand in it, and after that build another boat! Also, he has invented the Bris sextant [2]. Very intersting g

Yeah, momentum. I can't think of what authority would be able to change it and make it be globally followed. A tradition of thousand years, with roots in religious texts. I don't think it is within anyone's power to change it

From the article > Tetsuya Yamagami can console himself that he may be among the most successful assassins in history. I actually think the assasin of Rabin was the most successful, in terms or changing history in his desired direction

If you only had it for a year, you may not have seen it yet. I had lots of configs setup, then I did not have it running for a year or so. Trying to make it run again on the latest version was frustrating. I want to set up and forget to th

I gave up on Home Assistant, it required too much tweaking of configs between releases. I took inspiration from https://github.com/stapelberg/regelwerk instead

LWN.net is maybe the oldest website I still return to. And it looks the same too! I think it existed already in the 90s?

People do lots of things in lack of better options. Some things are too big or complex for an individual to change themselves, and people choose the less bad option, and live with the unwanted consequences. But through democracy, they can e

The only time I hear about dog whistles is when liberals say that alt right or similar with opposing viewpoints use them. I start to wonder if it is in their head only, or a rhetorical tool so that they can say "did you hear that? it w
