I've tried using Monero because of it's supposed privacy features, and found that the official desktop gui clients is completely unusable. I'm not just talking usability and design issues -- I'm talking random crashes an

Just today, Don Syme wrote up thorough explanation on why he won't be adding type classes and more higher-order-types (or whatever the correct term is) to F#. As someone learning F# and starting to use it in production, I love it becau

Obviously week long 'retreats' are out of the question for those with very young children/etc, but that's a tiny minority amongst tech workers. If you're childless under 40 and would rather quit than take a few retr

Somehow the article fails to even acknowledge the roles that commuting and non-affordable housing play in people not wanting to come back into the office. To me, "Office culture" is not worth spend 90 minutes each way crammed into

No joke: I watch the movie Hackers, yes the one with Angelina Jolie and hacking the gibson. Or maybe Wargames, or similar. Not because they have anything to do with what I do (I'm not in security, any more at least), but it reminds me

Uhhhh.... "can I open it?" is the better question. I'm rather afraid it will crash my computer.

The tenant is mentally ill, has a gun, and is refusing to leave. The enforcer says "f that". What do you do now?

In controversial-but-legal industries (think adult entertainment, gambling, cannabis), it can be difficult to get traditional banking and payment processing services that are taken for granted by more normal businesses. I've seen crypt

1) What is forward symbol referencing? 2) ... what type checking? You mean scalars vs arrays? 3) Mojolicious is certainly a full-fledged web framework, but there are so many just-as-good frameworks out there for other similar languages (Pyt

Also, perhaps standardization could play a role. If the Redis / Mongo / etc were standardized by a neutral party, it may make it riskier for big techs to make their on proprietary or incompatible modifications. Though I guess thi

I wonder, what keeps a project like postgresql "healthy" and true to its open source/free software roots, and what makes redis/elasticsearch/etc go down this new path of "source available" licenses? From 3

They banned a sleazy-looking extension from their extension stores. That's a far cry from "forced curation of the web or blocking of IP addresses". And, if that happens? Someone will just fork the browser.

Various industry surveys, like the one from comscore in 2019 suggest otherwise. IIRC it found that most American phone owners install only 1-2 new apps per year. I think they would've gone to more new websites than that.

Actually, users, for the most part, don't want to install apps.

You have alternatives for those things though, in other countries if necessary. Ok, ok, accepting payments is hard -- if you're getting booted from your processors because, say, you're in a controversial industry, you might have t

I once tried to advertise on facebook. I was editing my ad, and when I was trying upload an image or something, it went into some sort of infinite loop of trying to reload the page. Then, seconds later, it was banned, taking down my busines

Between this, Radio Shack closing a few years back, and small shops like Al Lasher's in Berkeley biting the dust, there's no longer a place where kids can just walk in and buy $3 worth of exactly what they needed for their project

So, assuming YouTube makes some manual adjustments to their algorithm to not flag/ban chess content, I wonder if actual hate speech will start pretending to be chess content in order to avoid detection.

You may want to try a local university for a help-desk type role. Those jobs are usually ignored by others because of low pay (think $50k-$60k in california) but if you are ambitious you can pad your resume and move into more technical role
