If you want a gut understanding of what we need to do about climate change, play the boardgame Daybreak. Also, every card has a qrcode that links to educational material on the real-world topic. (Predictable, specious…
Oh dear God in heaven and Ada Lovelace forgive me for the horrors I have wrought.
Hey! Don't blame us programmers for new features! We don't usually write the user stories!
Pine64 updated the PinePhone with the PinePhone Pro.
Reminds me more of the Amazon Delivery Partner model where the way you want to do something implies harming innocent people, so you have a third-party do it to shift blame for the deaths.
A good reminder that the United States never outlawed slavery.
The Rust for Linux politics mess should be laid squarely at Linus' feet. He's the BDFL. He approved adding Rust to Linux, and he massively failed at communicating what that even meant. If he wants Rust in the kernel, he…
Thank you so much! That's incredibly enlightening!
Something I've been wondering: why do ebooks take so long to render? My kindle seems good at it, but opening an ebook in calibre/fbreader/etc can take minutes or even fail in some readers depending on the ebook.
Remember the name McKinsey. They are an evil organization that does bad things to good people. Anyone from McKinsey is to be regarded with suspicion at the very least.
ISO standards have always reeked of EU regulatory capture to me.
I was thinking more of every web app needing one or more "if isIE() {} else {}" blocks somewhere in its codebase. Now we have the wondrous pleasure of doing the same for Apple.
Mobile Safari is the new IE. Random idiosyncrasies that are poorly documented dictated by the whims of a single corporation. Apple has broken stuff multiple times in the past few years.

IIRC, America's weird relationship with sex is rooted in our Puritan history. Idk about our comfort with depictions of violence. We definitely have a history of "cowboy & indian" films, so it could come from the…
I doubt it will be _the_ standard, though. I think we'll need to flip the setup so that a cord is in the car with people stealing them for the copper.
This is also known as "The Oracle Method"
Too bad Microsoft is just a bunch of Ferengi in a trench coat.
We're probably just talking past each other. The reason GNU comes off as religious is because they frame the whole issue in terms of human rights and moral imperatives (it is wrong to hide the source and we have the…
sigh OSI was established specifically because they just wanted to share code and didn't care about GNU's 4 freedoms, so don't be surprised when the proponents of open source give you projects you can't even fork.
Actually this is open source. This is what the term refers to. What you mean is that it's not free (libre) software, which is most certainly is not. They do not respect you and your rights:…
Not a lot of communication with your colleagues when you die on Friday and nobody notices until Tuesday. People came in and worked an entire day while she was in her cubicle decomposing.
I also love Clean Code and think it unfairly gets a bad rap, but here's a great, sometimes hostile, conversation with the author that touches on the issues:…
Domain-Driven Design is fantastic. Test-Driven Design by Example is a good (and fun) read.
