Orwellian as some other companies' business models, but worse in some respects.

Yet another opportunity for yet another Sparrow or Inbox app. Thanks, Alphabet!

ProTip for casino-robbers in and out of movies: If you absolutely had to build a (directional) NNEMP impulse generator, an EPFCG would be the easiest, but loudest, way to power it.…

On the plus-side, that money has bought him the choice to build whatever, whenever, almost never having to beg for financing ever again and the choice to not sell. DHH often talks …

Read the spec sheet... 6 channels per socket (2 controllers with 3 lanes each), 8 sockets, and 64 GB LR DIMMs. 128 DIMMs are $2-3k a pop. 192 sockets, 8 way, up to 24TB of ram w 12…

Isn't most vanillin created as a byproduct of the paper industry? Also, I hope the prices of the real stuff goes down, at least for a few months.

BTDTBTTS. I know the overachiever psyche a bit too well. Last female unit spoke five languages and was serious about opera and poetry. Personally, I much prefer females of the Engl…

Artificial sweetener anyone? How about some hair dye? (still allowed today in the US but not in Canada) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead(II)_acetate Sodium Pyrophosphate is also …

Retail price of the server components (no racks, PDUs, busbars, fibre drop, network switch, KVM, circuit-breaker, rack&stack, rack anti-tip bracing, artistic cabling, tech support)…

No, that's an misinformed, all-or-nothing, gross-mischaracterization. Data management systems are a toolbox. The core tenent, distilling ACID, of RDBMSes is referential integrity: …

I worry terrorists will potentially discover the properties of the Higgs' boson first and create a false-vacuum bubble nucleation bomb. ;) Registering RC planes and drones is secur…

This is bureaucratic nonsense. For 50 years, RC planes have been fine. This is a knee-jerk overreaction to take out their frustrations on convenient bystanders, eg hobbyists, when …

IANAL but I would ping WSGR, F&W, Orrick... and be sure first that they're not representing your current employer. Definitely build things on your own equipment, using different te…

Been There, Done That, Bought The T-Shirt. Solid core is generally for premise wiring (PVC jacketed in walls, PTFE-jacketed through ducts); stranded is typically for patch cables. …

That's a good problem to have, but be sure it's necessary to solve customer pain rather than to impress anyone or follow a "grand plan." Talk to Triplebyte, get on Github jobs, go …

It's cool but he probably got pinched for theft of service (ToS) by now, much like wiring up an extension cord to a street light.

To me, it comes across like a skewed, disproportionately-negative cognitive distortion, of what I won't speculate because I won't armchair/keyboard psychoanalyze.

Back the fatalism FUD truck up from going off the cliff with baseless, whiny negativity... DDG is so good that I use GOOG maybe once a year as a secondary search engine. And I star…

Bing? Smh. No, no and hell no. DuckDuckGo all the way.

Firefox is a lot faster on startup and browsing than it used to be. It's now damn usable. I'll keep Chrome around, like Opera, for browser testing.

Why is this person playing the victim here? Too bad if his fragile ego couldn't handle rejection, like that millions of others face everyday with grace. Giant ego, couldn't sell hi…

I would wager fewer hours coding and more doing exercise, yoga, meditation, getting massages, sauna, etc. would lead to greater productivity per calendar unit time.

Virtue signaling... while accomplishing little-to-nothing. Fire the Workaholics IIRC was a 37signals blog article that brings some sanity to unreasonable, unproductive patterns.
