I've worked for a couple of companies that were struggling in one way or another. The funny thing was everybody in the organisation knew what the problems were but they still could…

I keep my database in a git repo.

I'd welcome that. The broader the market for PC's the more dumbed down they become. I'd be happy to see a bifurcation into dumb terminals for most people and workstations for the p…

Regarding Joseph Heller he said in an interview: “I wrote for two or three hours in the morning, then went to a gym to work out,” he said. “I’d have lunch alone at a counter, go ba…
