If this happened to me I would take it to the grave with me.

I was once asked to install surveillance software on my personal PC, as a remote freelance worker. The person responsible on Slack told me "let me know when you've installed it". S…

It has also really accelerated the army of hustlers who can't actually code but want to get a contributor badge on major repos to put on their resume. It's not like this sort of hu…

The thing that really offends me about Windows 11 is that new right click menu that takes like 500 ms to appear each time you use it and is less useful than the old one. Recently I…

It really is kind of incredible. I just saw the clip and there really is absolutely nothing there. This is not even 10% as poignant of what Jon Stewart would say in his day. He doe…

This is a 100x better explanation than what's in the blog post. The blog post is practically a tweet.

Reading that set of quotes, it really is incredible how little Musk knows about even extremely basic things. He doesn't understand there are different problem spaces in tech, and t…

I hate to be this person, but... it's scraping, not scrapping. You're scraping the information off the page regardless of what its structure is.

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country." First video on the page. I'm guessing this is probably a news report, right?

> Back in 1999 I was the technical lead for the Mac OS X Finder at Apple. At that time the Finder code base was some 8 years old and had reached the end of its useful life. Making …

While I agree that CSS is sometimes difficult and obtuse, and getting things working in it is more of an art than a science, it's actually shockingly easy to get basic layouts work…

It's good to take off the nostalgia glasses and to be honest about how things were far from perfect in the past, but I feel like people sometimes overcompensate when doing so. Fran…

My personal experience is that Windows 11 for ARM runs extremely well on Parallels. It includes an emulation layer for x86 apps that's completely invisible and just works. I can ev…

It's always a good thing for technical information about incidents like this to be made accessible to the public. NASA is a publicly funded organization and as such they do have a …

It's actually funny how exactly it went how everybody expected. It's like watching a movie that's setting up an incredibly obvious ending, and so the whole time you're waiting for …

I know very little about certificates and online security, but I'm also kind of baffled by the expiration time of the iniLINE certificate (2018-10-10 to 2099-12-31). I feel that's …

Thanks for your work on Starcraft. It's given me a ton of fun over the years and I'm actually playing a tournament game in Remastered this weekend. I actually really wish we had ou…
