I'll have to get it out (might end up wasting some time on Myst tonight!) ... I'm remembering that some Wallstreets had Ethernet ports and others didn't and that those without couldn't be updated. Of course, that machin

I've got a PowerBook G3 Wallstreet (the last machine that couldn't be updated to OS X) that still runs a couple hours off its battery and looks very much like the screenshots shown in this article. I've also got the original

I've done some reading but perhaps not as much as normal. What's not discussed here (and I'm clearly a single data-point) is that my "maker" projects (where I'm working with my hands) are more pleasurable and

While this is indeed an example of the attribution problem, I'd argue that this particular query will never be solved. I don't search for a "shirt without stripes", I search for a "solid <insert color here> s

Hmm ... it's true that I generally hate code that I produced siz months ago but I consider that a sign that I'm improving. And "churning out nothing but garbage" ignores the fact that 80% of the cost of an application i

I can't imagine the employees at a managed IT company care as much about your infrastructure's and/or data's security as the employees of the client company.

In the U.S., it's pretty broadly assumed that in hot-spots like NYC, the death rate is also being under-counted. Apparently, those who die in their apartments are not added to the official death-toll. Another method for finding these

There are a lot of them to play with - https://github.com/pinceladasdaweb/Static-Site-Generators . I'm not sure which ones you've tried but one of the pitfalls of switching to a static site generator is that

I did some geo-coding a while ago but anything large scale is going to be costly as all the APIs have non-trivial fees for > hobbiest usage. Have you asked any geo-coding companies for free access? I bookmarked this site a few days ago

This site/magazine/think-tank/whatever has told the same story for years ... certainly there are case studies that they would cite as following their ideas if those were succeeding somewhere? Barring evidence and scientific

I've had a voice-activated recorder in my nightstand for 30 years ... so many times the solution to a problem I've been working on gets solved by my sub-conscience. My wife got tired of me turning on the light to write in my jour

Well ... I think you'd need to do some statistical validation of that premise. Are the applications coming from HN less noisy? Perhaps recruiters were doing this in the past and found that the signal-to-noise ratio from HN wasn'

Why would a convention be considered unintuitive? You learn it and it's just a design fact. I'm not sure I agree with the article - it seems like a case of human-pattern matching.

I just spent last night having a set of bizarre dreams ... I wish I could remember them because I'm sure I'd find them funny this morning. Two summers ago I had a very strong strain of Salmonella poisoning and the dreams during t

This is a pretty easy question to answer ... here are the links to history articles that I thought enough of to bookmark (note that a few are NOT computer/tech related) - https://pinboard.in/u:smoyer/t:history .

We should all admit that we don't know what we don't know. But the default behavior afterwards should be to assume that the software/system is insecure, fixing the defects we can find and surrounding in by rings of moats (de

To some degree that's true. I keep an eye out for programs that insist on running as root. And if someone breaches my account, they've still got to put the work in to escalate their privilege through one of these programs. I&#x2

If you're like me, finding vulnerabilities is like solving a puzzle. There's a certain satisfaction but you learn something at the same time. There was a great session at the All-Day-DevOps conference yesterday called "The

When we first became parents, my wife was a stay-at-home mom ... it was our priority to raise our kids. So back then when someone asked what I did, I'd generally tell them "I'm a go-to-work dad". It's true that th

Installing WordPress is overkill ... if you're going to use WP, why not skip the domain and hosting steps - just pay for one of the WP hosting services who will also be happy to lease you your domain. If you're going to self-host

I was going to say that the watermark is too obtrusive ... I don't have a problem with you getting a bit of attention in exchange for the time it takes to curate the collection but it's too big and in a bad spot.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, Corba implemented ICDs as "contracts" between parties. It seems like a client and server developed by different teams is still a good use-case for "something" that specifies th
