I’m using yyyy-mm-dd for pretty much everything, since it also conveniently sorts by time when used in file names and other alphabetic sorting systems :-)

Language is incredibly contextual. Database schemas are mostly rough approximations, generally driven by the principle “close enough to be useful” rather than “a one-to-one model of reality”. That being said, I’ve gone though a similar cavi

Exactly and I have no idea, why this is not done - is it a technical reason, or is it lazy consumer device programming?

I have no idea why that’s not being automatically done when the mixdown occurs in the player.

Mentoring and coaching terms are a bit too one-way for my liking. So I’ve always avoided that terminology in favour of more peer to peer metaphors. While I may have more flying hours in some topics of life or work, even a younger and/o

I actually prefer a world with multiple alternatives rather than single instances. Life itself works that way and it has proven to make life very robust, even when individual life-forms are very fragile.

I for one am grateful that some of my worst mailing list accidents (like accidentally sending a privately intended message to a mailing list, rather then an individual email address) are starting to disappear from Google’s relentless claws.

As long as only a few people use a successful white hat trick, that trick isn’t generally worthwhile for the darker hats to combat. So the problem isn’t so much that blog spam people will read your comment, but that many ordinary readers wi

Arguably, small mom & pop shops already started dying in large numbers when big box stores started taking over, and online shopping is continuing the small shop’s march to extinction. Globalization of commerce has only added to the marg

To be fair, human memory also liberally edits. And historical representations also undergo changes, like the colour fading on old pictures, paintings and statues. And that’s in addition to all of the issues in capturing accurate colours an

That was one of the earliest instances I remember, where superior functionality was shipped with a product but kind of locked up. And like some other such “locks” they were easily defeated.

For Canadians, .ca seems a generally well behaved and managed TLD under community control. EDIT: .ca is not particularly tech community related, but that doesn’t matter to me.

I sincerely hope that we’re only witnessing “Any sufficiently long Internet discussion will propose blockchain as a solution.” rather than “Blockchain is eating the world.”

I feel pretty good about betting on nature in the long term. Life in general has a pretty decent track record of surviving, even when complex life forms don’t. The argument of monoculture vs diversity may actually be a short term vs long te

Way back in the 80s, Amiga vs. Atari ST was one of the early fanboi battles in computing :-) Except, at first, it was mostly in person and in competing computer magazines. And eventually, many of us got our first modems, and got into our fi

Fair enough, but would it be fair to argue that personal computer is a pricing distinction, rather than a technology distinction? In my mental model, the technology distinction is more between single user and multi-user systems. And arguabl

Arguably approaching 100% ethical purity would also approach involve not being born in the first place. Related note: I think that leading large numbers of people as well as having very large numbers of customers also reduces your chances o
