My singular issue with self hosting specifically with email is not setting it up. Lots of documentation on setting up an email server. But running it is different issue. Notably, I have no idea, and have not seen a resource talking about tr

Is an EV with 2% charge in the battery any more or less prone to spontaneous combustion than one with 10%, 50%, or 100% of charge? I'm under the assumption that these are roll on/roll off carriers and that cars themselves are driv

Isn't the whole point of <abstraction> that we don't need to worry about the inner details? A friend currently has an AI workflow that pits two AIs against each other. They start with an issues database. AI 1 pulls issues, a

To be pedantic, requirements are dynamic. Software is a reflection of that. However, the fact that software can readily embrace dynamism, can make it a self fulfilling prophecy. But back when games were shipped on CD or burned into ROM cart

Well, I really like this thing. I like that it's a daemon. You can connect to it from various clients, do stuff, disconnect, and your stuff is still there when you come back, your processes are just running in the background. Conceptua

I am absolutely in this camp. I won't say I never customize things, but, 99.99% of things, I do not customize. I just cope with what's there, make do. E.g. the limit of my emacs customization is Slime for Lisp (and, honestly, it t

Yea, I stumbled upon those as well. It was like "I can have the last piece of pizza" moment, looking around, nobody is missing this, "well, ok...". As I recall it as a score over 170,000 and ended with a 17. That gave yo

Just curious if the folks at CVS chart particularly high on these horrible effects, considering the no doubt thousands of feet of receipts they handle each day there. For those unaware, at the CVS Pharmacy if you walk in and buy so much as

My friend, in the office next door, was a respected saucer hunter back in the day. Saucer hunting was, essentially, the degenerate game play that base Asteroids reduced down to when you were playing for score. The game was to leave a last,

The don't embrace that culture. Embrace a simpler culture. Strive for simplicity. Push for fewer dependencies. Simple example, JAX-RS running on top of Java SE. I agree, JAX-RS is not what one might call "simple". It IS compl

Ode to Java. Boy, I love Java. When I switched jobs way back, a condition was that the new project was going be using Java. GC. Single file modules. No "forward". The Collection suite. Fast compiles. The magic of the ClassLoader.

My first encounter with ST was at a Macintosh event at college in ‘85. And there was a fellow there with a Mac Plus, and he had the Apple ST image running on it. The Apple ST image was a descendant of the original Xerox image. This is the s

So how well do passkeys work when you don't sync passwords. When you bounce from machine to machine. From OS to OS. How well does password recovery work in those scenarios?

The thing I hate about these things is I have no idea why they’re asking this, and no idea what happens if I say No, even how to “manage” these settings should I wish to change it. The UX is different from the apps saying “Hey, open the pre

I have to add this. Back in the day, we sold accounting systems. Now the beauty of accounting is that everyone needs accounting, the fundamentals are all quite solid and common, but even still, everyone does accounting differently. Matter o

Indeed. The LLMs will ruin it. They still very much struggle to grasp a code set of any reasonable size. Asking one to make changes to such a code set, and you will get whatever branch the dice told the tree to go down that day. To paraphra

I don't know, these are mostly uninformed guesses, but the distinction between Records and Value objects is that the contents lack object identity. Which, to me, means, potentially, two things. One, that the JVM can de-dup "anythi

I think the DV and DP have implicit prefixes (DV and DP respectively) for when they are referenced or recorded. I may be wrong, but that’s what get when I see them.

I took a stab at something like this. My intent was that you’d be sitting at a Common Lisp REPL, and start entering commands. As you did this, a graphical window would show your components and traces. I considered similar to a legacy AutoCA
