One great advantage of old software that has been continuously developed by the same core of people is that when new features are added, they have the benefit of being informed by all the past failures and near-misses. And they are almost a

1. MS is all about "piles of legacy." That is not counter to their philosophy at all. 2. MS apparently sees some long-term advantage to having a Linux compatibility layer. (By "advantage," I mean of course some way to ma

What a great story! When I first moved in with my wife and was cleaning some stuff out to make room, I found a bunch of rolls of undeveloped film and had them developed. There was no mystery as to who owned them, but the surprise at seeing

As a native speaker, I grew up in an area where the boundaries of three American dialects were within about 25 miles, so I did the same. For example, it doesn't bother me at all to pronounce 'creek' as 'creek' or &

Exactly. Also, they're a private company. They can do whatever they like with their data per the ToS. Why is this even a concern?

I've never had a Facebook account, but friends have told me that no, there is not. That would go against their user and content retention models, I'm sure. It makes sense that Facebook would make it as difficult, tedious, and pa

I'm fairly tech savvy (ok, I'm an expert compared to my non-tech family and friends, but not compared to people here). I even had a copy of pgp on my Windows 3.1 machine shortly after Phil Zimmerman created it. I didn't under

While I agree that pretty much all news media is toxic, the reason Facebook makes people unhappy is that 1) people put on their best show there, and 2) others compare themselves and become discontent. It's the constant comparing of yo

I don't see anything in these articles that proves that climate change is either the primary proximate cause or a necessary cause for the migration from the Middle East to Europe. It is still more simply explained by political expedie

I recently tried a number of Linux distros to get specific GNU tooling for an embedded project I'm working on. (My daily driver is OpenBSD.) The Void philosophy is very appealing to me compared to most other Linux distros. I tried b

GoDaddy will let you close your account, but you have to call customer service to do so. (After many years of having multiple domains with them, recently I decided to migrate all the domains I had with them over to other providers.) One th

I have always appreciated them for that, too. Not respecting the desire to close your account is a separate issue. Fighting patent trolls doesn't make up for their refusal to let you protect your information.

I don't know of any studies to prove it is true, but I suspect that the US Midwest (in particular) has had a similar decline. Anecdotally I can say that there are certainly far fewer insects here than there were in the 60s and 70s whe
