I just spent 20 minutes flying to various airports I've been to in person. Curious to see space/gate/terminal efficiency and closeness from one central point at eg DUS and FRA with the evolution that is LHR. LUX and LCY are a

As somebody who worked in IT before and who had to wrestle a bit with policy in the past - I recommend you don't see your work MacBook as your "own computer". Because it's not. The company shouldn't restrict you fro

BT in the UK has been replacing payphones with advertising billboard, with a little digital infopad, USB charging and free domestic calls. Calls are cheap as, they probably still make a profit with the advertising. It's win-win, though

Same at my previous role - we did have some people who were really good at some point, and into DBs. We had a very solid Redis and PostgreSQL set-up, and some advanced stuff for simple data in Redis - but once that knowledge fades with attr

Is the author saying their router's DHCP settings changed their MacBook to PXE boot over the internet, and it loaded a trojan that flashed the T2 firmware by disabling time sync and using an out-of-date signing certificate?

My first job was to tailor a FreePBX system to our users' "needs". Management decided that our sales team's "needs" are to get email reminders after each client call to keep the SalesForce log up to date. The s

Not thinking about the sex of the judges does imply ignoring any possible unconscious bias. I am not a fan of discrimination, "positive" or otherwise, but I think acknowledging that unconscious biases exist, and that a panel selec
