It's possible that your 4MB machine went into swap VM if it really consumed minutes of time. Java 1.2 would have been circa 1998 where one might've expected 32MB or better on a desktop-class machine.

Curlie seems very nice, but I'm a little concerned about your advice to alias http(ie) to curlie as they are strongly very much not interchangeable ("-a" means something entirely different between the two).

Are you saying part of your job is to solve learned helplessness in the software engineering workplace? Are you effective?

Aluminum is harder to work / weld / repair and is more expensive than steel. Yes, aluminum is much lighter and oxidizes less destructively. You don't see a lot of manufacturers wasting weight on very robust body panels--in f

"Toilsome" is probably the most kindly yet still accurate thing one could say about exposing HATEOAS to the real world, at this particular point in time.

I haven't yet encountered the horrible, deplorable organization that both MITMs its SSL traffic and filters on HTTP method--but I know it's out there, just waiting to ruin my day and diminish my faith in humanity.

To pose a frank question: are your own skills equal or better to the heavy hitters on your European crew? If not, how do you know you're not being snowed by a lot of pomp and ceremony to do regular things in an impressive-looking way?

US title insurance really is the worst. Who exactly has ever collected on that contract for a residence--maybe one in 10,000?

Not a bad article, although the couple of paragraphs about hiking Mount Kilimanjaro and the like are beyond cringey. Seconding the desire to know the corporate structure and how it worked out for the team. Any equity split? How did these fa

I'd be interested to know your reasons for supposing We might or may have amassed proprietary insight into RE markets or even something like how to improve office layouts, or even how to optimize the fluid dynamics of beer taps.

Well done! Shades of principal component analysis. Paying by ability might lead to increased inequality, and put some workers in holes from which they would never recover.

Agreed, this article poses no challenging questions, and would be hard to differentiate from PR.

MagSafe trained me not to worry overmuch about snagging the charging cable, over a matter of some years. Then they took it away--replaced by a mechanically quite solid coupler for any off-axis forces. (Welcome to the ground!)

For sure, although whereas the Websphere-ing of the product line seemed like a plausible effort at consistent branding, Watson feels more like a cynical measure to appear relevant, but nobody's buying it. On the "active" band

Microsoft has gone through some pretty dark times w.r.t. naming stuff. Up there with "Windows" everything and absurdities like ".net Passport" was their unslakable thirst for "Active." ActiveX, Active Server

It's kind of unclear what problem you are trying to describe. Views shouldn't confound the query planner, and creating views with "filters" sounds like probably a mistake--query the view with the predicates you need the

This coincides with my own impressions: WC article and recommendation quality has nosedived in service of affiliate links and margin-seeking. The "self-care" articles in particular seem a very transparent excuse to push a basket

I would note that "foo IN (a, b, c)" can often be better done as "foo = ANY(ARRAY[a, b, c])" in Postgres - not least because you can shift to passing in an array of variable size without having to construct a special sta

Life without purpose is... usually not great. I'm sure there's a more poignant way to put that. An intelligent person may even spot the hedonic treadmill more quickly than the norm.
