Keep track of people you've enjoyed working with. They are hard to find.

MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012). I've done it, because Final Cut Pro demanded it. Regrets, because Photos.app is now severely broken and causes high loads to the point where my mouse pointer (or beach ball) freezes intermittently (which

I got my iPad in May 2010 and it still works fine, including (amazingly), the battery. Except of course, the software has become useless. YouTube doesn't work unless I do special URL mangling in the browser, which crashes every 2 secon

Xing just means that now you have to have profiles on two annoying job networking sites instead of one, because Xing is virtually only used in Germany, and Linkedin in the rest of the world.

KVM switches used to be a huge and super important (and expensive) thing in rack server farms back when every rack or every few racks had a pull-out tray with a keyboard and a monitor. Technology moved on. First the tray and monitor disappe

Interesting. I expect we'll be seeing a lot more VPS providers running on AWS with these instance types.

> the supersonic SR-1 Blackbird spy plane is the stuff aviation legend. Does nobody proofread these articles anymore? A missing word in the first sentence. This sort of sloppy publishing really doesn't leave a good first impression

I love firstPartyIsolate and resistFingerprinting. These should probably be on by default.

Nim probably makes more sense if you're coming from Python. Oh, and Python is perfectly fine for most things. If you like it, sticking with it and just speeding up the rare thing that needs that performance makes much more sense than s

I'd hire him in a heartbeat, because he's determined, analytical and can figure shit out himself. But then he'd not be for hire, because he already figured out how to put those skills to use himself to make money, so he'

I have all my passwords in OS X Keychain too (why would you use an external password manager when your OS comes with a perfectly good one). I did not switch from Safari to Firefox until I discovered above addon many years ago, and I won&#x2

The whole concept of NSFW is ridiculous and one of the more embarrassing things about the "modern" workplace.

RSS is the only sane way to follow multiple sites and people. There's blogs, news sites, Twitter, YouTube channels, etc. - only in my RSS reader (theoldreader.com) it all comes together. Some removed RSS feeds because they realised I d

Small insects landing on fresh paint is rather annoying when you're painting stuff. Nice to see someone getting excited about it ;-)

Yes, most of them didn't last more than a few years before the bits started falling off. This may partially have been because most of them were SD (720kb) that I'd drilled the HD (1440kb) marker hole into to save money. Worked fin

Amazing this stuff still yields secrets after thousands of years. Meanwhile the 3.5" floppy disks in my parents attic on which I've kept all my teenage Turbo Pascal source code have long lost all their data.

It also neglects to mention the entirely different lifestyle in Spain, different attitude towards work, not to mention the siesta, which one would think worth noting in a sleep related article :)

Funny about the adult thing. When I managed other peoples computers, had I fucked up really badly, about 1200 people would've not been able to do their work and some company would've potentially lost a few million buckazoids. If I
