All you need is a bad connecting flight through Dubai and you're in the poop. For this kind of scenario, I have a 2011ish MB Air that is too small to do anything (4gb RAM) and gets re-puppeted fairly frequently to test the system. Whe

As another old person, I blame the shift from "mea culpa" to "my bad." One is used when genuinely accepting responsibility and the other is used like a wave after cutting someone off in traffic. The answer is to reintrod

There's a horrid and eroding legal concept called a "reasonable expectation of privacy." Unfortunately, it is not referred to in the positive in most cases. On the contrary, it is invoked in the negative based on some legal

I live in a neighborhood where UPS drivers are not permitted to deliver after dusk (see: Google Bus Attack). It's a local policy, so the tracking status will show that my packages (in last year's case, a retina MBP) would arrive

I would recommend that anyone else reading this take note: you need someone on the board who is your ally. You can't let your partner fill it with his own people.

A bigger kern on the 'f' in 'future' would create a ligature. I suspect the web font and, more importantly, the HTML creator would not perform the substitution.

What do you want this site to be? Is the site you want one that is supportive of new ventures? Straw men aside, civil and humane responses will encourage more of the great "look what I'm building," posts and culture that many

Indeed. However, you tell a rape joke about women and someone should (and very likely will) tell you that it's not funny. Comments like,"Don't drop the soap," are so benign in our culture that you would have to be in

Male prison rape is a joking matter in many places. "Pound me in the ass prison" is well-known in the hacker community. Think before you react.

This is bouncing against the perpetual "code as text" problem. Put the tests and docs in with the code and you end up going into "scanning" mode. The actionable information density per character is lower. Put the tests

A more rigorous stack-rank-and-yank may be appropriate in this situation. :-) A big part of the problem is that current researchers did have to manage their programming, IT, etc. during undergrad, grad, and post-doc periods. They did a lot

I was trying to remember the rant you refer to as well. I vaguely recall the core being that Mark Crispin's[1] RFCs were internally inconsistent, such that it was impossible to implement a standards-compliant IMAP server. Of course,
