   It seems pretty weird to have to argue the point that just like anything else in this life, doctors, lawyers, mechanics, cheese, wine, and toilet paper, there are good quality and bad quality... you get what you pay for, etc... why would th

   How can you tell the difference between products/services made by someone who makes said things out of the sheer love of making them vs. someone who only makes said things when compensated properly? -- one word: QUALITY

    My 6s might as well be dead, with each os update it runs slower and slower... now just scrolling the screen lags to a level that makes it mostly unusable... thanks Apple.

    It might as well say: "We monitor your every move, and highly disapprove... Click here to return into our good graces, and be fairly confident we won't mysteriously brick your system."

    Learning 6502 assembly, and subsequently implementing worm, and then tetris on an apple ][ from scratch, were the single greatest things I've ever done to advance my understanding of computer programming and computing architecture in g

    IMHO a "blockchain without a consensus mechanism" is tantamount to a security door without a lock. The whole point of "blockchain" being that all transactions on it are correct and verifiable via a consensus mechanism,

    There was this Australian company that had this fly-by-night looking empty office near South Park, San Francisco... I'm serious, and not exaggerating, when I say it was a few bare metal folding chairs/tables bare walls, and way to

    I would say probably not, since there were only 4 variations of a simple substitution cypher, e.g. you could encrypt some text with option 1-4, and to decrypt you picked option 1-4... i.e. anyone could decrypt using the barbie typewriter an

    I'd say it's really about size. My wife assures me that size doesn't matter, it's actually the way you use your configs to manage your environmental vars. (sorry, I just couldn't help myself...)

    Nice? I mean, how would you be certain it was NOT a "Web VIRUS for Linux written in amd64 assembly (2017)" unless you could read grok asm? NOTE: I'm not saying it IS or ISN'T, and although I CAN grok asm, I'm not go

    "Because there’s no such thing as a unicorn and there’s no such thing as a full-stack engineer." Ridiculous to find out I've been doing the impossible for 15+ years now? Somebody give me a raise!

    Bacteria break-down the food, i.e. proteins, sugars, etc... and also produce toxic by-products in the process, much like your digestive system breaks down food and produces... well you know what... In the end, you can't just re-heat th

    The local arcade got a Pong machine, then later, a Lunar Lander, and many others as they came out. I went from playing pinball, to video games, and fell in love with it all. In about the 7th grade I started to design my own games, working
