I recently started walking again and have done so 8 out of the past 9 days. I put my kids in the stroller and push them around. They get to see things and I meet a lot of nice people in the neighborhood. Where I live, there is no real sense

It must have been both exciting and frustrating to have lived in a time when there was so much unknown waiting to be discovered and yet, such limited knowledge of the world.

You could use that analogy, but only if the NSA really really liked pineapples. They really really like spying on people and therefore like the technologies that allow them to do so. And they have a lot of money and power that would appeal

I prefer a physical book and haven't used my kindle in some years now. I used the kindle when at the gym on an elliptical and even then, it wasn't nearly convenient enough yet. That said, as I find myself reading more lately and l

Agreed. Seems interesting and the website is generally well designed, but it wouldn't hurt to have a code sample or two on the front page.

Reading this makes me feel really fortunate. I had a bout with colitis, but the doctor prescribed me Cipro and it went away with no other side effects. As an aside, even talking to the doctor made me immediately feel better. Being a pessimi

There is a good article in the current 2600 paper issue describing the issue of corporate MITM and why simply looking at the certs for the current site might night be enough.

I gamble when I make a trip to Vegas or Atlantic City and I go in with the expectation of losing money. I am a somewhat novice blackjack player. It's typically a social experience so I avoid tables where the players appear to be making

Take a deep breath. You will likely find the transition to be jarringly pleasant. To ween yourself off of linux, continue to use a VM on your MBP (I used vmware) to run your favorite distro. Keep calm and carry on.

HN is the only one I participate in. I will likely start to participate in Reddit, but as with HN, I lurk _forever_ before I participate so that I understand what I am signing up for.

I think part of the joy of traveling is leaving things behind including the distractions and worried that keep you from enjoying the things you love to do such as reading. Time seems to become your own again, because it is not fractured by

I would have thought that the opposite would be true; by having an CQRS/event sourcing system with eventual consistency would allow you to avoid posting duplicates to your database: 1. The user submits X number of requests within a sec

I've been threatened when announcing my resignation at two jobs. I work in a niche market, but the level of paranoia is unjustified. The first time was a very uncomfortable five days where they tried to convince me to say where I was g

Reminds me of my experiences playing Ace of Spades before it got bought out. One time we just randomly had a ceasefire on the server. An embassy was built half green and half blue, halfway between the two sides. We built a night club and ba

For me, at the stage you are in life, I felt extremely unaccomplished. And I was. I still am in some sense. I have spent 10 years working on a failure. I still work on it. But I also know I have made progress. There are things I have accomp

I loved this article. I showed the picture of the cat prints to my wife. We both agreed that cats have always been jerks. Our cat somehow manages to walk all over my laptop and my wife's iPad, usually with some impact to what we are do

Pardon my ignorance, but why would a catastrophe result from an errant upvote?

Agreed that implicits were one of the critical things that caused me to move away from Scala. I really couldn't justify in my head the use of such a thing.

In slow motion, Tetris written in Nim. It's really just to get familiar with Nim again and to complete a game for the first time in a long time. Working a full time job that requires being out of the house for 14 hours a day a lot and

I recently spoke to a few people who have worked on these large scale municipal projects. We think we have a hard time managing active software projects. These projects have change orders alone worth well into the 10s of millions. There are

Just walking videos going down the street, maybe showing the architecture, the stores, the people. You get to hear the sounds, see the sights, and get a sense for what the pace is. It could have narrative or not. It could be indoors or not.

Videos of just walking the streets of various cities. It's nice to have pictures and descriptions of the usual go-to places, but show me what the place is actually like.

Thank you. I hadn't heard of this one, so thanks for linking this and the video.

Does anyone have recommendations for frameworks or libraries for implementing CQRS and distributed processing of large sets of data through DDD? I've found some different options including Lokad, NServiceBus, MassTransit, MPAPI, but wo

My concern when I had a work issued laptop was that they would see the network traffic my wife was generating by streaming YouTube videos and playing video games and assume it was me. Fortunately, it seems that was not the case. I am not on

I am burning a candle for Nim, formerly Nimrod. I like the brevity of the code I write using the language. I feel it has very few drawbacks, but I wish there were more of a community around it.

I like to browse travel sites and watch shows related to that. Anthony Bourdain shows are worth watching. I just started watching his Layover show and it's pretty entertaining.
