Asshole, or genius?! I love anti-patterns. My favorite is Android, in response to a government somewhere, every half year or so being required to ask my permission to destroy what shred of privacy I am still afforded. "What's the

Had a 220. Looooved it. It probably even had the substandard screen. But my X1 Carbon Gen4 (I don't upgrade too often) was terrible. I never thought I would be one to say this: it was probably the keyboard I disliked the most. Now rock

I've been eyeing off OpenStack for sometime for a similar use case, but I must admit it is an uninformed opinion. What am I missing between the two solutions (OpenStack vs this specific custom solution)?

Funny you should mention it. I am back on this band-wagon but in the context of a crash diet (Michael Mosley - Fast 800). The precise parameters are low-carb/keto, a narrow eating window of about 6 hours, and exercise in the gentle car

I had to fight my metal-over-plastic instinct when it came to jerrycans. I've seen some metal ones rust internally and affect the stored liquid. Plastic ones are color coded which is another boon. They're lighter, and you can get

Everyone's either getting rich or wants to get in on it. You have a very small audience. I predict that low interest rates will continue to wreak havoc. Lots of media content will address the symptoms but never the cause. No one of inf

Perhaps white can move twice before black is allowed to make his first move? Edit: Embarrassingly I had a good laugh at my own joke after writing this.

Me too with Consider Phlebas. Then I hit the Alastair Reynolds novels pretty hard and now I'm stuck for new material. Dune is en vogue so perhaps that's the right read next? I really enjoyed Vernor Vinge's A Deepness in the S
