In Terminal, I have mapped common commands that I use all the time into macros assigned to function keys. For my Ruby workflows, I have various rake commands a single key press away. For when SSHed into Linux servers I have stuff like &quot

I'm 34 years old and have been programming since I was 14. I loved it from day one. I still love it. Even after tens of thousands of hours, two CS degrees, and hundreds of projects, I still am still amazed that I get to get up every da

68 slides! This must have been an epic or fast paced conference talk. Good points. I think the comments on FDE are spot on; it's almost always about compliance. And I'm reasonably comfortable with SSH access if, and only if, it us

That is a nightmare. I already have a hard enough time typing on the MacBook Pro's keyboard. I use an external mechanical most of the time except when I am away from my desk. I just about get all my real work done at my desk though.

That was me! Well, I could type, but not properly. Got all the way through graduate school and well into my career before deciding to change. Wrote about this a few years ago at https://rietta.com/blog/2014/02&#x2F

Buy a Apple Refurbished MacBook Pro from last generation. Get the discount and the warranty that way. And don't worry about it for 4 years.

Yeah, this is one reason I still don't have security cameras setup on my home network. If I decide to get them, I am going for a dedicated ethernet network just for cameras and no internet connection. I may allow a VPN to a inside th

I have the same question. I am not aware of a similar situation.

Is this recall of IoT devices the first of a kind? While it is but a drop in the bucket of IoT insecurity, it has to be an expensive way for the Chinese firm Hangzhou Xiongmai to learn that having the same password on all devices is a secur

To expand my point, we had a really tight wedding budget but still wanted to have friends and family. We had our reception in the Church's Fellowship Hall, not some fancy venue that cost 10x more. My wife and I had to make some hard de

My wife and I did in fact buy our wedding cake from the Publix Bakery near the church. We were extremely satisfied with the quality and the much more affordable price. Enough cake for a couple hundred guests for about $400.

The U.S. most certainly will. In testimony before the Congress, the FBI Director James Comey indicated that the U.K. is in some ways ahead of the U.S. He was referring to the banning of end-to-end encryption and key disclosure laws, which i

Yeah, I use PGP routinely, but really mostly as a way to get servers to encrypt SQL backups and things. So my own system admin purposes without a lot of PGP-encrypted communication with anyone.

This is the first time in my computer science career that I've heard Excel (and spreadsheets in general) called a functional programming language! What an excellent, excellent point!

One thing I find interesting is that on the Mac OS X Excel, Cmd+T is the toggle for the relative/absolute cell references, but in Google Sheets it's F4, just like Windows Excel.

Because there is absolutely nothing that confuses many people more than having more than one remote! My mother still cannot figure out how to change the volume on my dad's home theater setup.

So is it the Year of IPv6 yet? I've been hearing about this going mainstream for 13 years. I've been setting up servers to be dual homed with both IPv4 and IPv6 for years but so many people/companies don't even bother ad

But what do you do with the signatures on the signed commits? It is of some, limited value, to GPG sign because it does provide a little bit more of "John Hancock" for a release, but how does this work in a continuous integration
