2 things: - IMO, having owned a couple readynas(es) in the past, FreeNAS is a good compromise between ease of setup and functionality. To me, it does not feel over-engineered. In fact, it feels like it gives you enough to do everyday stuf

Programmer's opinion here: I'm not a sysadmin, just like to do light HomeLab style hobby work at home. I can't provide a counterpoint for why you might consider a proprietary NAS, but I can tell you that I'm 90% sold on

Not having worked with COBOL in about 10 years, the critiques I have of it (from memory) are virtually identical to some modern languages I still have to work with daily. It's - Too structured. - Poor tooling. - Whitespace sensitivity.

You can buy certain OEM android devices not only rooted, but with unlocked bootloaders. It'll be a cold day in hell when Apple does anything remotely similar.

I had this exact feeling as well. Complexity comes about when systems integrate too closely. If you're running multiple systems in the same environment, eventually, they have to work around each other, or it leaves the temptation to t

Pedantic, I know, but the projected beam was it's power source. It had no _built-in_ power source, which is pretty cool, all the same.

Oi... XML wasn't the first format to be used for data interchange and encounter these problems either. At least JSON is designed for data interchange in the first place... Too many tools? Are you not selective about what tools you u

Not a genuine answer, but JavaScript has a great ability to inspire respect for type systems, due to that duck typing. I suppose the GP enforced it manually?

The repo has updates from just a few days ago, and IIRC, v2 just came out at the beginning of last month. So I'd say no to "Is it dead?" Is it dated? Well I stopped using it once I found Docker (years ago), but can't s

No offense intended, but you may want to start with WCAG 1.4.6 as a baseline. It's entirely possible to create a modern, compelling UI in conformance to basic accessibility guidelines.

It's been a while since I used these UIs, but usually what happens is you click on the knob and it turns into a vertical slider. Not so bad really. The skeumorphic UI lets you move between the physical panel and the GUI pretty seamles

I was trying to rationalize it this way: 1980's - first decade 1990's - second decade 2000's - third decade 2010's - fourth decade I guess, technically, the third decade of age for this paper ended in 2016, making 2017 t

Having done big and small consulting work, I think part of the issue is that waterfall still has quite a large buy-in. Smaller shops tend to go more agile, but when you have a team of analysts chomping at the bit to document your processes
