For Chrome/Chromium, I currently have "Incognito This Tab". (I used an extension called "Incognito This" first but one of its updates asked me the approve an array of extra unnecessary permissions which I obviously

I do the same. uBlock allows me to disable scripting which is good because pages load faster and become more static. However, if a random page is unreadable because Javascript isn't there I just click a button (another extension) to re

The funny thing in photorealism is that the amount of sharp detail isn't particular high. We easily consider 80's television broadcast photorealistic: none of the films and series aren't criticized because they looked to unre

I kind of keep a (mostly mental) tally of the week's hours and when I've done a full week +/- N hours, I've done enough. But because of N it's a bit hazy sometimes. If I can finish something in a day what could&#x27

Next time you're negotiating a salary and they aren't willing to match what you want, don't walk away yet but offer to take the salary with reduced hours in proportion to how much you're missing. Taking an exaggerated ex

I work in Europe but I'm actually employed by a very much US company. Practically my whole team is in the USA and other than receiving salary locally I have surprisingly little to do with the European subsidiary. I also work from home

I worked at 50% capacity for some years. It was just great until I chose to want more money for the time being and returned to 70% capacity. That was just great, too, until I realized that I was as productive as a full-time guy without the

Memorisation is caching. If you need 11-times or 12-times tables, you will calculate them enough many times that your cache will become "hot" and you remember them out of the box. If you don't, then you don't have enough

Are these codesharing flights? I'm usually picky about choosing the exact right flights that are actually operated by the airline of my choice so that I get what I want.

In other words: you will get what you pay for so think carefully that you pay for what you want.

One factor might be that web pages are big enough that they begin to allow contributions from different, orthogonal origins. The initial designer might do the first main layout and bolt in some menus and the main text area. But other people

This is probably one of the theory vs. practice issues. While I admit that the article is mostly correct then again, in practice, I haven't had much trouble with Linux in the 00's and 10's while using Debian based distributio

Just wondering, if you want code that reflects the way you think then how do you think about things and models that inherently don't map into objects? I'm kind of the opposite: I rarely use objects (as in methods welded to holders

Arrogance is a way of pushing others down socially while using that push to lift yourself up above others. Nerds often come out as arrogant by merely offering unsolicited advice or opinions. It doesn't matter if you actually do know wh

Writing a gc for native C as a plug-in replacement for malloc/free/realloc is also very much doable and a rather well-scoped exercise for those who wish to spend few hours on Sunday hacking.

When I was doing more project work I outright refused to give estimates, explaining that I could come up with a random figure that's so low they won't believe it or so high they won't like it, and in any case the figure would

Intent is where lawyers and engineers take a whole different paths. It's that "what color are your bits" question. To a lawyer, the details don't matter much at all as long as there's enough evidence to prove the in

My GPG keys are protected by a passphrase and that has, so far, deemed enough subjective security in order to allow me to rather liberally store copies of the keys as backups on computers and servers I use. It may depend on your personal se

"What is the future of Amiga" asks the cover for issue #1. There hasn't been a future for Amiga for a couple of decades. Amiga was dead in 1995 already, not to mention 2015. Don't get me wrong. I think I used mine till e

Hiring gets a lot of attention, but pricing is vague there. It is much easier to estimate the price of an already hired programmer with a track record known over years and who has knowhow of the company's infrastructure, style, and kno

Weekends have plenty of time. But any good side hack will just make the time for itself. It's that stuff you can't not do so you stay up slightly late and will be slightly more tired at work but hey, so what, you'll feel so g

I was thinking exactly the same thing. I had to check the numbers for Finland which has abundant, cheap, and clean groundwater just about everywhere. By the token of the first few Google hits the average consumption here is roughly 150 lit

I've disabled anything 3rd party and all scripting via uBlock. When I really need some site to work 100%, I'll just selectively enable the parts that are required for that site. The little button makes it easy to whitelist stuff c

I think the best thing about PyPy is that it's a modern implementation freed from the stupid architectural choices that plague CPython, and that PyPy doesn't have to get along with Guido's quirks. By that I mean things like P

It takes a lot of trust to lose a lot of trust. First there were records, then cassettes, then compact discs, and they all wore out. A plausible lifetime for something you bought was maybe 15-20 years: not really a problem but indeed a nuis

I would bet a lot that it's nothing really you could analyze in terms of rational thinking but that it's still something that everybody has. Everyone, including you, do get different feelings from different people. Maybe there&#x2

I didn't see the article in that light at all. The point seemed to be that FAA don't really know who and how the planes are serviced and maintained. It's not a proposition of foreign work being inferior per se: it's ju

A subset of this kind of tricks are usually embedded in the source code of any project of decent size or larger. But that sort of implementation usually comes with big disclaimers that spell out the hacky parts in very loud terms. I'm
