It’s ActiveX all over again.

I found writing techniques employed by fiction writers to be surpisingly relevant for nonfiction.

The US under trillionare leadership, certainly.

Is it propaganda though? Japan is more aligned with ‘the west’ not only in geopolitics but in the system of governance that was imposed upon it by via USA occuptation. Whereas Chin…

I start asking (annoying) legal and technical questions if they start with that first name basis crap, usually enough to make them back off.

The author is a fascinating figure. Changed his last name from Carnagey to Carnagie for PR benefits and was a lifelong people pleaser. Keep that last thing in mind while you read.

I feel like I'm the only person in the world who would rather write ugly win32 jank for the rest of my days than ever having to touch an "elegant" or "well structured" Cocoa codeba…

WTR was still on air 15 years ago? I'm getting old.

It's a well established term.

Everyone should look up some interviews with his father, he's turning into a carbon copy.
