The problem is that many people still insist on doing things in person or via a ‘quick call’. I have been around long enough that I insist on chat and email; voice is fine for fleshing out features and such but things like this or basically

With covid, at least where I live, they sped up paperless (and cashless). Before covid I had to print something to sign (usually for my companies or gov) about once a year, now that is digital. I (and my companies) haven’t had printers for

I will check tomorrow as I have these as actual physical books. The best one I have is a Dutch book but it might be a translation; I will try to find it.

I read many computer books and magazines from the 60s, 70s and 80s. It is really interesting from many sides; some logic explanation books from that era I find better programming beginner explanations than modern books. Modern books usually

I have a pic of me behind my first msx early 80s which looks somewhat like this [0] (and indeed I still hate pictures taken of me). When I showed it to my wife she said something like; ‘should I check your man cave for sawed up body parts?’

Maybe with a video digitiser? On the MSX it worked like that.

I accidentally attended way too many of these ; in HK 2017, every business gathering turned out to be a reason to promote crypto by a bunch of crypto bros who I all got to recognise and some that I got to know. I was doing banking systems a

That is still strange ; as you can read from others, docker refreshes it’s own iptable rules which then can mess with your own. Maybe you were lucky but seems unlikely to have that much luck. Be careful anyway; if you opened a port, it’ll b

Agreed, and if people don't want to use 'difficult tools', they could swap it for privacy: do KYC for your email account. Then you, in this case, the business could freeze the accounts until you go through the motions of prov

This will only get worse. Most people have no clue what mfa is and when I tell them they find it incredibly annoying and/or forgot how it worked again when they login from somewhere else a month later. I had people deleting Google auth

Thanks! Will write a review as free reading as well.

That’s weird; I had that before but for this one it just immediately worked on my phone.

I would not call those friends though: hence my original comment. What makes a friend a friend? For me 'interacting daily on social media' means very little. What would these people do for you and you for them? But it is all about

No one has 1000 friends either, no matter close or not and yet there are quite a lot of people who say that.

I have been struggling with terms like friend, close friends and ‘people I know’ for a long time now. I have all of those for my definitions but the definitions for these are wildly different for different people. Like ‘I invited my closest

Well, my wife was a pro translator but she found she could make a nicer living by writing books. If it paid enough, she would not have quit (and she was on the higher scale with corp clients). You need a good network and clients who want to

Why don't you open source your work? Can you contact me otherwise, maybe I can take over this work on couchdb; we have to do it anyway and we would open source it.

We are human and prefer elegance, so enough will continue to try to unify models anyway. I don’t buy that we cannot understand nature but this model dependent realism is fine as a practical way of working until we do understand it.
