Cool. I think I first posted here in 1979, found a lot of useful phreak info. I don't see any of my posts, but do see my name (pseudo) mentioned by others a couple times.

There was hype about another language out of MIT some years before those. Not saying it's not possible, just that there's a lot of hype...

Horrible title, sounds like clickbait.

Why do we need journals? Maybe they made sense at one time when it was good to have a (paper) copy in every library. Now, they are arbitrary cliques creating disciplinary silos. Peer review could be handled with cryptography, including li

In CLIM, a graphical presentation is only a representation of an underlying type. Types will have default representation (e.g., basic text like you would get from printf), but you can also override this using with-output-as-presentation (s

"process substitution" is one of the new useful things I learned this year (switched to bash from csh over 20 years ago). /proc/${pid}/fd/ is very useful for forensic purposes when you find some malware running

I prefer to keep mine separate, but I always use specific terminals / screen sessions for (mostly) the same type of work (admin, specific projects, web dev, etc.) so each have their own history, as well as keeping a per-directory recor

You should try JIT and lazy evaluation.

Yes; this happened to me. They didn't come asking questions so much as having a search warrant... http://bit.ly/seizure1111

tl;dr (but I may revisit in the future). I used to think UX meant a wider "systems" approach to the man-machine interface, incorporating findings from CHI, cognitive science, user studies, etc. Now it seems like it is becoming a n

transpile it all into js and run in node! (I know this may be limiting for some features/libraries, but only a matter of time.) See https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death... on taking this to

I have thought about this, but in the context of understanding the root causes of these problems: 1) is it a language design problem, 2) a misunderstanding or misconception on the part of the programmer, 3) due to or related to ba

To login to remote machines with dynamic IPs, have a loop on the remote machine that logs in using ssh to your server and creates an ssh connection back to it. Remote has ssh key, with ssh config that says "Remoteforward 23456 local

Too long -- didn't watch. Actually, I saw the original (57mins) a few months ago @ http://vimeo.com/43536445 "Rob Conery - Five Things You Didn't Know About PostGresSQL" recorded at NDC2012 (Norwegian De

My first impulse is this is stupid. It means your tools aren't smart enough. Use an IDE, use aigrep, some tool that knows what to look for. A better title would be "Don't use a fastening device if it fails the hammer test.&q

What you mean is not "passphrase keys" but "public/private keypairs", and it sounds like you are using an agent as proxy, so you only have to authenticate locally once. This isn't an answer, but: password managers like LastPass can do this

They would flood the "market" with dvd's missing the last ten minutes. This would force people into buying commercial complete versions just to find out what happened. Kinda like breeding and releasing a bunch of sterile invasive pests to

Shouldn't be surprising or news to anyone who has looked directly into an access.log, all servers are constantly being probed by bots, crawled by spiders, etc. The incapsula "article" is some combination of marketing and FUD, even though th

I think this is a good piece for what it addresses. However, market capitalism (or whatever it is we have) is more complex. This does not address the issue of monopsony: I may like my corner store, and spend my money there, but long-term

I read the story in Omni when it was first published, but forgot about it until I heard it on studio360. I watched a version or two on youtube after, but I think the studio360 radio version is better. My son liked it too, he was laughing.

Not really any change. I just checked, and from about a month of spam, there were maybe 2 messages (semi-junk from web sites that I wouldn't really miss) out of 110. I usually do check (though not necessarily empty) the spam more frequent
