I like the 6502 instruction set better. But it does stink to have to chop up your limited address space for I/O.

There are probably 100x more servers sitting in server farms running websites (and burning power) than need to be because companies would rather hire 10 cheap Ruby or PHP programmers than one "expensive" Erlang/Elixer program

My cat has paws, not hands. And thank God for that, too, otherwise she'd get into too much trouble.

It's not broken. Sometimes real newspapers that hire real reporters and do real reporting charge for their content. Not everything has to be free.

What a great idea! Every monday I take a picture of myself. I think I'll add a photo of my computer desktop and a picture of my physical office space, too. Those will be fascinating 10, 20, 30 years from now. (I'm 53 so I don&#x27

I do this every year when I go to DEFCON! It's always a good idea to keep an old laptop around for this purpose. Some of their security-by-obscurity tips I don't think would help much against an FBI or CIA though.

The local library doesn't really like donations. Most get tossed. A separate charity takes them, tosses most, and conducts sales to raise money for the library with what's left. But the fact is, if I'm retaining a copy of the

I do the same thing! If there's a book I want to keep, I scan it with my DIY bookscanner and toss the book away. I, too, used to dream of having a big home library. Now I dream of a home with almost nothing in it. (If it weren't f

I buy used books on Amazon frequently (about 5/month)--when the Kindle version's price is too high or isn't available. It's a great deal and I've rarely been disappointed.

For every additional dollar I earn, I am taxed at a rate (Federal and State combined) of 52.9%. "Rich" people do pay taxes. In fact, they pay most of the taxes.

Of course, the United States contributes to this, too, by having the most complicated tax code, and the highest corporate income tax rate in the world. Combine this with a 30% ex-patriation tax* (yes, they tax you for giving up your citizen

However that won't survive a scanning and OCR. This could be useful to see who leaked a script, for example.

You can't compare traditional GC languages like "Go" to C. They inhabit two different universes.

I update my Erlang based ChicagoBoss / Cowboy web services live all the time, without one transaction being lost. Erlang lets you update live code, while it's running. Still, I'm a big fan of Python and Django, and it's

I'm surprised that Obama stuck his nose in this. He really should let "local news" be local. Not everything has to be a federal case. And when I was 14, I was building real digital clocks out of 7400-series TTL chips. And so
