Not a book on technical writing per se, but Writing Without Bullshit ( https://www.amazon.ca/dp/0062477153 ) can bring immense clarity and purpose to your writing. De-bloating prose is essential to good technical writi

That series was horrifically dystopian, and should serve as a cautionary warning to avoid that path entirely.

I use a catch-all eMail account, but only for two reasons: 1. To catch legitimate misspellings. A property deal nearly fell through for my father because his realtor had misspelled his eMail username but gotten the domain correct. 2. To fuc

If you are building internal apps for delivery over a fat pipe to known clients, consider advocating for a much simpler front end that can dramatically reduce the complexity. You don’t need SPAs when virtually any client has a guaranteed 10

RIM explicitly starved BBOS with its introduction. The company had oodles of cash, and yet, tried to encourage app devs to port their programs over with… a $100 incentive? Like, WTF? They had more than enough cash to go to any top company a

Spin rite is only designed to work with spinning-rust drives. SSDs, with their wear-levelling tech, prevents SpinRite from working correctly. And unless you are dealing with large-volume, cool storage, or cold storage, who TF uses spinning-

I still use WinAmp with Internet Radio, and pretty much only that. Works wonderfully, although you do have to hunt for those stations. And you need to bookmark them correctly, otherwise you’ve bookmarked an IP address that can suddenly go s

Aside from a touch of CSS styling, the most I would ever do to a form field is use an input mask to provide some anticipatory data validation. So that, for example, you cannot put text where a phone number is expected, and to also provide e

Focusing on foreign buyers is a distractionary tactic. The primary cause of housing value spiking comes down to investors and speculators. Combat those, and the marketplace will return to sane valuations: • Speculation tax of 50% of the ass

This is why I am still using an arse-old version of Mailwasher - the newer versions started sharing data with the mothership, including your eMail passwords, just so it could transparently sync that data to their iOS & Android apps. My

Likely the latter. Far too many employers are used to high job competition allowing them to pay only pennies on the dollar for that work. The moment people ask for rational and reasonable wages, it’s suddenly “No OnE WaNtS tO wOrK” because

The American Dream is twice as easy to achieve in Canada as it is in America. We also pay a fraction for our single-payer healthcare, and pay absolutely nothing out of pocket. Drugs are not free, but are heavily subsidized. I would also use

Same here. Like, literally. 1PW just seems so much clunkier and more difficult to work with. The thing being, 1PW does have a handful of enterprise-level features that seem to be more efficient for managing passwords across the enterprise.

Even up here in Canada, employers are getting pickier and pickier even as their workforces bleed workers in gouts of resignations. I think they’re desperately trying to find people who won’t leave at the first sign of shitty manglement prac

Except your second paragraph doesn’t have to be the case at all. If we limit ourselves to modernized economies, we could be very close to a post-scarcity civilization right now if we really wanted to. What does this mean? It means that only
