I recall a similar statement from Ed Yourdon in one of his books (90's?)

I have a keyboard with GMK firmware. This is fairly easy to do. In combination with layers, my hands don't have to move around as much. Easier on the tendons and possibly faster.

Yes. I have thought about this a lot. There are cycles... Like thin client (VT100), to thick (client/server desktop app), to thin (browser), etc. Similarly, console apps (respond t…

That's what I found. Another pet peeve was extremely wide screens, although we don't see that as much these days. Not great for editing text or code.

I could get the retina screen with 16GB RAM, or 32GB RAM with a lower res screen. It was a few months back, so hopefully that has changed. I'm no longer looking though. Other than …

I've certainly been keeping my eyes open for a MacBook Pro alternative. On my last time looking, I thought I'd try to find something with: - retina-like resolution 15" screen - 32G…

Everybody has used them, but nobody wants to admit it ;) I for one, would like to know who does their SEO... they are often at the top of the results for many searches.

"Angular has been out for 2 years" Oh?

I remember looking for a house to rent in Mexico and wondering why some places seemed to be much more expensive than similar properties. Took me a little while to figure out why ;)…

Having cut my teeth on Turbo Pascal 3, I quickly adopted Joe when I started using Linux around 1995. Most of the same key mappings were there. I'm a bit surprised to see it still i…

I had a small company that did software consulting work for one of the provinces. Around 10+ years ago governments started requesting "off the shelf" solutions instead of custom-de…

I do notice that while I can't keep the 30th API I've used in my head for instant recall, I am much faster at finding the big picture. I'm a big fan of diverse teams. A younger pro…

I never devoted any effort to learning how to listen until the past few years. It makes a huge difference in having a good conversation. It's lots of fun to bring back what someone…

If you go to a random spot anywhere in the world, there's a good chance there's not a lot of people there. The site http://confluence.org/ catalogs visits to intersections of latit…

There are many "synergies" to be exploited with the pizza business. This from a few years ago in Toronto: http://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2011/02/pizza_gigi_shut_down...

A manga and amime on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_the_N.H.K . It gives a good introduction to the topic as well as other Japanese cultural phenomena.

If it's for a trip mad you don't need it afterwards, you might think about a refurbished MacBook. The initial outlay will be more, but the resale value is good. I know people who'v…

I pay for single sport subscriptions (UFC and MotoGP). I think they work out to about $10/mo for each. I don't follow the major US ball sports, but it seems like they're a bigger d…

I plucked an Aeron out of the garbage. The frame for the seat was broken, so I just ordered the replacement part. I guess that makes it more than $10, but still a great deal.

"Have" is a top 10 most common word for English. "Go" is only top 50. They've gone five times better. As for how much better you can do... Someone just (6 days ago) registered "be-…

The one that gets me is the suggestion that direct flights are more efficient. Sure, if you go from New York to Los Angeles, but it wouldn't make sense if you were headed to a smal…

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't take away that the commenter felt it is unimportant and he humourously explained why. He also explained that the other things were of greater conce…

It's also common to open these up so that team members can grab a copy of your database. I haven't done that, but I can think of a case in the past few months where a developer had…

The 21st century version of "16 tons"[1] becomes "16 terabytes" and the refrain becomes: "I owe my soul to the company stor[age]". [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRh0QiXyZSk
