I wonder if his software would be more well known if it were more useable? I've tried using it on a few occasions over the past 10-20 years and have had a very hard time doing so.

I'm reminded of the song "$1000 Car" by the Bottlerockets. Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsbJA9RM4Cc "Now you're the owner of a $2000 $1000 car"

Serious question - looking at the graph, it looks like the disparity between U3 and U6 jumped quite a bit in 2009 and is just starting to get back the historical difference today. Do you think it was valid to be concerned about the disparit

Yeah, that was a really ignorant statement for him to make. It cracks me up because a lot of pop musicians are classically trained.

This reminds me of how people feel when they remember high school. Like many technical people, I was picked on and had a lot of social problems. When I think about those things, I feel like my life was horrible in high school. But I also ha

Also on OS X, `fs_usage` will tell you which processes are accessing which files. Very useful!

Giant squid are in no way "unsubstantiated." Dead ones have been washing up on shores around the globe for centuries. Live ones were elusive until recently, but we now have a lot of footage of those, as well, thanks to things like

Oh man, this happens to me too. So infuriating! I've taken to just hard rebooting it, as it takes about 20 seconds to boot and log in.

I think it's an illusion. If you look at culture today, there are a bunch of influences from the 80s. (For example, Taylor Swift's latest album is titled '1989' and has an 80s-influenced feel to many of the songs.) In th

You talk about having "5 star ratings," and such. Where are you finding these jobs and where are you getting ratings? It sounds like you're using a website where people post jobs they want done and you bid on them. If so, tha

I agree that these are things programmers need to learn. I think analyzing code (as in debugging it, learning to read what someone else wrote and understand it), are equally important. I learned no debugging while getting my degree. (Or rat

I'm not too impressed with Louie's attempts at 2 to 3 stories per episode. The show is hilarious, but I think that experiment failed, personally. However, I think when he does outlandish episodes like the one where he has a dream

I notice that when I return from work, it often takes 10-20 seconds as you say, but when I have been at home for a few days, it seems to take only a second. Maybe it's related to how long you've been using the current network or s

It's hard to tell from the article what was actually said or meant. But to be fair to Mayer, Paltrow sends out a weekly newsletter (Goop) that contains lots of bad dietary advice, such as "toxin cleanses," and other pseudosci

Serious question - what happens in fall when the leaves fall off the trees? Also, with a simple light bulb, or even lamp post, it can be replaced quickly and cheaply. (OK, maybe not cheaply for the whole lamp post, but relatively easily.) B

As someone who works on the computer side of Hollywood, I found this really fascinating. It's interesting to see where people like Tyler Perry, or Steve Jobs break the rules and get away with it vs. where they either don't break t

There's a general rule when trying to determine facts. The one making the claim has the burden of proof to prove it true. If you say you crucified someone, it's on you to show that you did that. If you're too lazy to take and

NPR's "On The Media" has been doing this for decades. They have a podcast you can subscribe to for free. It's an hour each week and usually dissects the weeks news stories, often pointing out when the stories were comple

It would be nice to change the title to something coherent and useful, like, "Search queries containing only numbers," or something of that sort. As such, there's not a lot of incentive to click on "600613". (Yeah,

I concur with this. I use C++ daily and have been for about 20 years, and I still run into gotchas and things I misunderstand all the time. I feel it's even worse than that, though. There seems to be a culture among C++ programmers to

This was one of the more lucid descriptions of monads I've encountered. I've tried reading others and they immediately descend into a lot of subtle language that I don't understand. This really helped.

This is funny to me because, as a young customer, I distinctly remember thinking, "God, I hate coming to this *$#%@ store. The sales people seem like they're not plugged in. I'm trying to buy an <xyz> and they keep tryi

Couldn't you use your small size to an advantage, though? For example, when I ran a mail server over a decade ago for a small business, there were a couple dozen accounts. I would get email attacks that looked like they were being sent

If you do, I highly recommend avoiding the types of graphs that git draws for you and that some tools show. (The ones that show the branching history.) As a beginner, I found the graphs way more confusing than what was actually happening, a

I too love listening to podcasts every day. But I think this article has completely missed the mark on its main point. Most of the podcasts I listen to don't have ads (or just have a 5-10 second "sponsored by" spot), which is
