My old colleague who used to break bootloaders and such stuff for a living, called it the 'Internet of broken crap'. Never have truer words been spoken.

My girlfriend has a list she's allowed to break our relationship with, as do I. Last two month she's lost Jose Mourinho and James Deen off it. I'm looking forward to Benedict Cumberbatch getting found out as a wrong 'un

Mass hysteria in the media, nowhere else. I'd been to a nightclub that night and unfortunately didn't pull a girl - so I came back home and listened to the radio. It alternated between Diana is dead, no she's alive, lizards d

It's an interesting tale that unfortunately wouldn't work these days. Dan Bricklin is a legend, but he's also a relic of when I used to write stuff that was stuff I had wrote, these days it's always a ladderwork based

As an Englishman, let me tell you from my point of view - this is utter bollocks. The TV schedule will be completely fucked, sombre music will be played instead and the newspapers will be a nightmare. Most people however will not give a tos

Come on, Argentina has never given a toss about the place until they needed to ramp up the jingoism.

Mitro is really good, probably overkill for what you want though. When it was bought by Twitter they open-sourced it with bits missing. Some have added the missing bits to run it in Docker, but there may be dragons: https://githu

Yeah, i'm the same with the non-SQL HTML generators like Hugo etc. I can't believe how many websites get owned through a blog when all they need is static HTML. It's almost like people are getting used to the idea of reducing

Let's Encrypt is brilliant and the web needs it but the tooling isn't quite there. For example with haproxy you need the entire chain and private key together, which I have to do manually. As the API is open it's doable - I m

I'm 50/50 on it. Was a contractor at the time and it was a blunt hammer instrument that denied me the benefits a multinational would get when I plainly wasn't a disguised employee. It's like with the tax credits thing at

I assume they've not given the methods out as the programme is only on TV early next year - maybe it's the usual transfer pricing etc but as they're all clubbing together the costs of administering this are significantly redu

If you've got custom drives with custom firmware, why does the scrub need to leave the drive? Couldn't they have a command that kicks off the scrub in-drive, with only a list of failed blocks returned?

You don't often see vulnerabilities in Putty, which considering the amount of corporate systems it's used with is quite amazing.

I remember hearing on the radio about the UK Government, many years ago doing a census of all the homeless in the UK. They had somebody on the radio who worked with the homeless who was tasked to do it in her area. Her instructions were onl

That's fantastic - good work, love the stripped down nature of this too.

Yes, same as with Go 1.5 - this comparison is very dated.

So do I, for the same reasons. At a previous job perl was used everywhere. As a language, it's quite nice. CPAN is horrible, though. No staging/stable/whatever versioning, new modules requires updating versions of existing mo
