Was it "their rapists" or "they're rapists" that he said? One makes sense in the context, the other makes people outraged.

This needs to develop into a grading system. A "Flanders Threshold" or something.

Kathy Sierra gave an informative talk on the topic of learning at the 2015 O'Reilly Fluent conference. It's entitled "Making Badass Developers". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKT…

This is a little embarrassing. Like most every idea I came up with at the time, it had the word “smart” in it. Smart Windows. What are “Smart Windows”? So glad you asked. At the ti…

To my young mind, it was more about someone else taking credit for my wonderful ideas. My naive thinking was that Steve Jobs would be dazzled for sure. He'd probably want to hire m…

I sent him an email from a NeXTStep configured PC in around 1996/97/98 stating I had some window GUI ideas that would give him a distinct advantage over Windows. As I recall, his r…

I would be interested to see the original spec for Lotus Agenda. That product still has a legion of fans extolling its virtues online. And it was a DOS product.

The solution to all your problems is to get one customer. One person who says “I get what you are trying to do and I will pay you for it.” The longer you put off acquiring a custom…

A good book about Larry Ellison is “Softwar: An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison and Oracle” from 2004. It looks like Larry himself proofread the book as he offers comments and c…

I cobbled together a NeXT-compliant Intel box in '95 so I could get NeXTSTEP 3.2 installed. What started it all? An old BYTE magazine article that featured a screen capture of NeXT…

It feels a little insulting to read that headline after watching the 20/20 report on the Rolling Stone UVA rape hoax. For that story they relied on one source and didn't listen to …

Nuts. I don't think I removed the battery and it's been in storage for almost ten years. Then again if it can survive me naively washing the motherboard with a garden house and let…

It's been quite a while (the ole 2500 is in storage) but it seems like a person could change directories without the "CD" command. Just type the path in the CLI, hit return, and yo…

Pretty compelling information. Two observations: 1) No LinkedIn. Are they on top of the problem? 2) I had fun results with the Epic Privacy Browser.

I'm glad this work is being done. For kicks, I'd like to see the clickbait classifier take on /r/savedyouaclick

It's really not about self actualization though. I think your therapist may have been a CEBT/REBT dabbler. The authors of the REBT books I mentioned are at odds with most everyone …

CEBT from now on it is. Though DBT is worth a mention too and it's not all that different from what's described on Urban Dictionary.

If you want to know where Microsoft got the inspiration for the box and "X" buttons that debuted in Windows 95, check out some images of ye old NeXTSTEP Workspace Manager from circ…

It's not dramatically different than hitting CMD+OPTION+H every time you switch tasks. It is a little bit easier on your fingers though.

A very clever idea. The UX and the ease to onboard with the demo are both well executed. Congratulations!
