When I was a teenager there always were a few used mags that we swapped or gave each other. If kids have smartphones, they'll resort to video sharing, and there are few ways to avo…

Pretty safe until a machine in the network gets infected. The first infection comes from a phishing email or similar. From then on, the worm infects other machines connected to the…

How do you deal with optional fields in documents? do you modify the table schema on the run? If there's a larg-ish number of optional fields, but each document has only or a few o…

And Hewson Consultants did the same in their "interactive video adventure" Avalon circa 1984. The game -for the Sinclair Spectrum- asked for a four digit code printed in non-copy b…

Now combine Hyperloop with self driven cars that you can take at your convenience in both ends to arrive to your destination and most of the problems you stated seem easy to overco…

Being a user of both Linux and PostrgreSQL, I'm very interested in this issue, but I only understand some of the words... Could everybody wiser than me tell me if I should be conce…

AS400 and undocumented fixed column ASCII files, probably. Been there, done that. It's not funny

Works OK for me now. All in all, good post.

You didn't address any of my points. Perl may have been horrible, line noise or a read only language, but 20 years ago was the quickest way to write a visitor book or a mailform. Y…

Maybe they're not competing with Phillips or GE, but with Lego mindstorms.

Twenty years ago I read exactly the same about using the abomination that was perl/CGI instead of the so called correct C. And history tells us that the prototypes that were made t…

I don't know if it's on purpose, but there're a lot of spammy links in that page. I wouldn't visit.

Ok. Let's try some more imaginary maths. If Valencia has five million inhabitants, and one in ten in these, in turn, send one document to the regional government every year, that w…

EU antitrust laws aren't against monopolys per se, but against using the power of a monopoly to gain an advantage in a new market. So, Microsoft wasn't fined for having a 95% of th…

Congratulations on your 3,50$ per gallon. Where I live -Europe- it's about 8 us$. With these prices, the comparison between two luxury sedans -tesla S against BMW 535 or Mercedes E…

Looks like an advertorial. No mention of socket.io and praise for a commercial solution that I didn't know after almost two years working with websockets.

He's on the bottom right now. Latest @jimcameron tweet: "Just arrived at the ocean's deepest pt. Hitting bottom never felt so good. Can't wait to share what I'm seeing w/ you @Deep…
