People tend to shit on Spotify (while still using it), but they did manage something that we all want: Access to (almost everything), for a nominal monthly fee. We need the same, but for movies and tv shows. Globally. It's an economica

Good points. Software obviously doesn't inherit the physical aspects involved with aerospace experimentation (e.g. Lockheed Martin Skunk Works). The limiting factor is typically only employee focus/time.

There is no option to add another authenticator app at https://myaccount.google.com/security (desktop UI). I think the only feasible option is to first remove Google Authenticator and then re-enable it. Seriously, Google? M

Taiwan is about to be the next Ukraine, along with China being the next Russia. I think this conflict can still be stopped with non-physical violence though.

Docker Desktop on Intel Mac (the "supported" config) is not super stable as is. I'm going to wait for official Docker support until upgrading to an M2 (or M3?) Mac. Seriously thinking about getting a fast AMD Linux box to run

In this incident, the unauthorized actor exfiltrated customer information on December 22, 2022, which included environment variables, keys, and tokens for third-party systems. A lot of production AWS/GCP keys are likely stolen for th

Yeah. It also relatively often breaks and requires a purge. I need to do it approximately once per month.

I had a lot of fun with Alley Cat, Sopwith Camel, digger ( https://digger.org/ ), GW-Basic and Turbo Pascal 3.0 or so when my computer finally got upgraded from a ZX81 (I got it in 1984 as a handmedown from a relative) to an

Do I understand this correctly - it was a 31-bit version of the 32-bit Y2K38 problem?

Related but completely different: All MS-DOS programs built with Turbo/Borland Pascal stopped working on ~200+ MHz Pentium CPUs because of a sleep calibration loop that ended up going too fast and causing a divide by zero in the runtim

Presumably it was only offered on high density 1.2 MB 5.25" floppies, so not that bad compared to the 1.68 MB weirdo DMF-formatted 3.5" floppies Windows 95 was normally delivered on. Still, would be interesting to see a photo of t

Also, if the target host is infiltrated, it can use your private SSH key for authentication elsewhere without your knowledge. Not normally, right? Isn't that the whole point of public-key cryptography? See e.g. https://www
