That is awesome. I've just been using my old film photography experience of trying to "see" in black and white, but this is so much better.

So that's a little different argument, and more complex. Profit/loss is a weird thing in a non-profit. College Football (in the Power 5, and top tier group of 5) itself is very profitable. But the money is quickly spent on the p

Ignoring the whole homebrew side of it. The article itself is a pretty great read. It explains the technical issue well. But additionally it shows the experience of the author and their process to find and exploit the issue.

The US takes English for granted so often, despite our actual diversity and no "official" language. Although I do love the National Park standardized symbols. But to totally wander down your tangent, color can be dangerous to rel

This whole thing seems like a wrong take. I don’t think TMSC even registers Intel as competition these days. Intel vs X is a tiny market. Most CPUs don’t go in x86 machines, and the chip companies choose fabs on so many more variables than

Luckily when I started at my company, FY-end bonuses had already bounced around I learned to treat them like a Christmas present. The individual performance aspect existed on paper, but no management chain exercised that because it ruined

My boss at an internship bought like 20 NE2000 NICs for cheap somewhere in the late 1990's. We were confused when we would plug a second one in and it all went to heck no matter which 2 NICs we used. We realized they all had the same

I blame Heidegger for this. I'm sure someone can cite someone previous, but that was it for me as an undergrad. It was so alluring at first. It sounds so smart, complex, and nuanced. But then it started to really kick in and I reali

Also, I think that view only looks at the vehicle itself and neglects the onerous funding model the USPS is saddled with and the investment required on the supply chain/logistics side. The fleet itself is a massive capital investment.

In most places this is true. But working in Plantation heavy part of the South, it’s awkward. Read it in a Southern white male accent to someone whose grandparents were sharecroppers in the Delta. We lose a lot of black talent to other ind

In college I used Emacs, because I had a romance with lisps and just really enjoyed extending stuff. Also used Sawfish as my window manager, etc. The modal thing in vi(m) was hard for me to wrap my head around and the bizarre config of vi

I should mention that you can't run Oracle RAC on any "real" public cloud, because it doesn't play nice with SDNs and needs shared block storage. People have done it with hacks (like VPN tunnels between hosts), but it&#

From what I've seen, Oracle Cloud usage is mostly to lift-and-shift legacy Oracle software packages off-prem and things that need low-latency access to them. It's more Oracle software as SaaS, some basic IaaS (more like a hosting

Aw. Based on the domain, I was hoping this article had something to do with Floppy Disk Drives. Nope, political trade stuff by some think tank or whatever and not anything to do with /dev/fd0.

It's one study that says that one font (not the same one) didn't appreciably help a handful of kids with and without dyslexia. It's interesting, but not enough to make any kind of generalization. Heck, without being indepen

I may be a bad person to ask. I like history a lot. A lot of this stuff was originally picked up by secretaries and non-computer people working on manuals for Bell Labs. If you understand it, it will save you time. It will also make you

I think people can go through a few stages of their shell-foo. The first involves a lot of single commands and temporary files. The second uses pipes, but only tacks on commands with no refactoring. The third would recognize that all the gr

Heck, I'm impressed that enough people are running an MTA that touches incoming mail for this to be effective. It was never "easy", even in the 90s. Back then it was an issue of having a performant, secure config. But these

I don't have data to back it up, but I've understood from typography gurus that sans-serif fonts are great for signs, short blurbs, etc. But for long (multi-paragraph) reads serif fonts reduce eye fatigue. I think blogs typicall

Unfortunately, even though these games were really popular, there's nothing reasonably current with their style of RTS gameplay. I think the Age of Empires franchise was probably the last one that had the same feel to me. SC3 is more

Kernighan’s recent memoir has made awk pop in my head a lot more recently and allowed me to stay in shell script land vs bailing to Python. I used it plenty over the years, but with a lot of trial and error. Now, I see it as an event engine

I’d be fine with it if they removed all slurs. Or at least a reasonable effort to remove generally acknowledged slurs for many cultures. I know the line can be fuzzy.

What made me adopt it a while back was the work they put into the plugin system. I honestly don’t remember the technical details (better or real async maybe?) But the end result for me was being able to use things like deoplete without the

The practice is pretty common and a good reflex to have. In your version there would be a risk of a race condition if it was possible for the environment to change between the calls. Now, it’s not really an issue here with environment varia

Reading Russel’s post WWII take on The Republic in A History of Western Philosophy is as close to taking a great class in college as I got after I was no longer in that setting. So many of those eye opening moments that make you reevaluate
