Are any of the RDP style systems rootless? That’s one of the things I enjoy about X is simply firing up an app on a remote server and there it is like any other window without all the desktop that I mostly don’t care about.

I’ll share this anecdote told by a friend of mine. He was on a team building a Modula-2 compiler for OS/2, and his group was working on the debugger. At some point a debugger becomes feature complete enough that you can use the debugge

All a stock JDK lacks to handle this out of the box is a JDBC driver (which it has innate support for), and a template engine. It has a built in HTTP server which has recently been improved. It’s also getting, in preview now, a string forma

For those using simple SELECTs, what kind of WHERE clause are you using that works well with lots of qualified pending messages and (somewhat) guarantees the most appropriate (oldest?) message?

One of the problems with this in software is that the concepts can be straightforward, but when you try to translate it into code, the complexity explodes. Case in point: compilers. This is a very well represented topic, both in print and o

I remember when David Bowie essentially announced his "Greatest hits, and I'm not going to play them again" tour. Simply, he wanted to give the fans a last chance to see their old favorites, but not be hindered by them in the

In the past I would routinely pay ticket brokers so as to have a better selection of seats, and to not have to deal with the "on sale" crush. Yes, of course I paid more, and I paid for the convenience, but I don't think I eve

A fellow I knew would build boats. Sailboats. I don’t know much about boats but I’d say that these were something like 25-30 foot boats. These were not dinghies. He started from raw plans, build the hull ribs, layer on the fiberglass for th

I may be misremembering but this is what happened with recent the Open Gaming License fiasco. As I recall, they inevitably changed the current one with a clause saying “we explicitly can’t pull the rug out from folks anymore with this licen

Living in So Cal, I was fortunate to get to see Oingo Boingo several times, all at small venues, including once as their “fan club name”, the “Clowns of Death”. They never really made it big nationally, or chose not to, in terms of touring.

I’m a fan, long time fan, but I can honestly say that I feel Java is one of the most pragmatic development systems on the planet. It can do most anything. It can do it most anywhere. And you can code in it using several different paradigms.

What’s really interesting about it is that Awk is now, finally, getting support for CSV. But I bet a large amount of Awk+CSV use cases can be met with SQLite and SQL+CSV.

Curious what the limitations were. Anecdotally I was talking with a COBOL vendor way back in the mid-80s and he had mentioned that their COBOL compiler was itself written in COBOL. FORTRAN also suffered limitations back in the day, notably
