.net being a good example of this I'm sure I still have CD case with 'Windows .net' printed on it which contains Windows 2000 and SQL Server... .net? The marketers really went to t…

OmniWeb was a pretty good browser and I used it exclusively until Firefox was released for Mac.

I have a vague recollection that there used to be a Word Processor for the Atari ST with the same name, but I could be wrong.

One of the reason Switzerland is a rich country per-capita is that it has used its resources very wisely by investing in ubiquitous public transport throughout the whole country.

Yes, I can't wait to hear that my car no longer works because all the plastic "rusted"

Have you thought about, or are you already involved in interviewing new developers for the company? It sounds like you might already have a nose for what makes a good dev (i.e. som…

+1 to your comment. I suspect they are feeling stressed because they're the main goto person on the product, and with enough random bobble heads running around trying to commit sac…

The article then goes on to say: >In fact the picture is rather different: a sorting process is under way And talks more about the process of penalizing weaker crypto assets, focus…

Well... you need trees to spread more trees. But if you've got no trees to start with, then you need drones.

>But 99%+ of companies don't have such problems and never will. Not sure where you get your metrics, but I would say a more general rule would be that the more people work on an ev…

It would be a very sad state of affairs if NATO basically used the Ukrainians to soak up as much damage as the Russians can inflict in order to weaken it, whilst giving only as lit…

Never seen it discussed, but maybe the drone landed a bomb on the superstructure which knocked out their radar or other detection systems.

I personally can't see how it would be best for either party. Elon I would imagine is way too busy with his other concerns to be distracted by a social media company, even though a…

Why is Australia so high? I doubt they need much heating, but is cooling so expensive?

70's Bowler Hatted Interviewer: 'Well then, what do you know about these new fangled things then?' Kipper tie: 'Well I saw one once being used on Logan's Run, and it looked quite e…

I'm also pretty impressed with the 'Over the Years' and 'Your Story' vignettes that my iPhone periodically creates, which was probably developed in direct response to that realisat…

The article actually mentions Alpine as one of the dist. where it's not supported by default: >The following OSs do not support kTLS, for the indicated reason: >Alpine Linux 3.11–3…

I personally see no evidence Ukraine is exhausted, although their country has, and continues to receive a pummeling - ironically largely in the more Russian speaking parts to the s…

>Computers suck at networking. ... The day you network two computers together is the day you've opened yourself up to a world of hurt. This is actually a pretty insightful comment,…

Seeing Ukraine's large expanses of flat land with dotted woodland I also thought that squads on quad-bikes (electric to be silent) would be a very effective way of moving about and…

The standard approach on Windows (and no reason also for linux, FreeBSD) is to have per-process thread pools. E.g. each process in a .net app has a default thread pool. Windows als…

Also choosing a base platform agnostic framework like SDL which has a lot of the OS interactions (keyboard & mouse) already abstracted away for you gets you pretty far on the cross…

The EU and other counties can get the gas and (especially) oil elsewhere, admittedly at not such a cheap price. Russia however has just alienated its biggest paying customers, and …
