Wow. Just how much does he have invested in them?

Clearly Postgres is not a good database and you will wisely use any other. I can see real advantages to this. It saves you so much effort and time. In fact, it allows you to make n…

Their 'right' to do that was probably somewhere in unreadable ALL CAPS on a small piece of paper at the bottom of the shipping box that the end user never got. Fuck 'em. Isolate yo…

Lousy article. For example, the author complains about a supposed 'lesson learned' that says (shortened) "If so-and-so happens it may be because of A, or it may be because of B". H…

Following that thought... confused it into thinking what? (Allowing for anthropomorphic use of 'thought'.) Really, the key here is that it's on-screen model shows the yellow lines.…

I think of these as a "Star Trek" test. You know: Wesley is confronted with "his deepest fear" during entrance exams for Star Fleet, Counselor Troi can't pass a holodeck test for "…
