How on earth would you monetize to get a reasonable return on that size of investment?

I recall a similar statement from Ed Yourdon in one of his books (90's?)

I have a keyboard with GMK firmware. This is fairly easy to do. In combination with layers, my hands don't have to move around as much. Easier on the tendons and possibly faster.

Yes. I have thought about this a lot. There are cycles... Like thin client (VT100), to thick (client/server desktop app), to thin (browser), etc. Similarly, console apps (respond to a single request in a loop), to event-driven GUI apps

That's what I found. Another pet peeve was extremely wide screens, although we don't see that as much these days. Not great for editing text or code.

I could get the retina screen with 16GB RAM, or 32GB RAM with a lower res screen. It was a few months back, so hopefully that has changed. I'm no longer looking though. Other than that, the XPS15 was a front runner.

I've certainly been keeping my eyes open for a MacBook Pro alternative. On my last time looking, I thought I'd try to find something with: - retina-like resolution 15" screen - 32GB RAM - slim and light without a flimsy plast

Everybody has used them, but nobody wants to admit it ;) I for one, would like to know who does their SEO... they are often at the top of the results for many searches.

I remember looking for a house to rent in Mexico and wondering why some places seemed to be much more expensive than similar properties. Took me a little while to figure out why ;)

Having cut my teeth on Turbo Pascal 3, I quickly adopted Joe when I started using Linux around 1995. Most of the same key mappings were there. I'm a bit surprised to see it still is around. I eventually switched to vi, since it was rel

I had a small company that did software consulting work for one of the provinces. Around 10+ years ago governments started requesting "off the shelf" solutions instead of custom-developed software. This led to a situation where th

I do notice that while I can't keep the 30th API I've used in my head for instant recall, I am much faster at finding the big picture. I'm a big fan of diverse teams. A younger programmer can just plow ahead without my carefu

I never devoted any effort to learning how to listen until the past few years. It makes a huge difference in having a good conversation. It's lots of fun to bring back what someone said earlier, often in a humorous way. It helps to sho

If you go to a random spot anywhere in the world, there's a good chance there's not a lot of people there. The site http://confluence.org/ catalogs visits to intersections of latitude and longitude. Drill down int

A manga and amime on the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welcome_to_the_N.H.K . It gives a good introduction to the topic as well as other Japanese cultural phenomena.

If it's for a trip mad you don't need it afterwards, you might think about a refurbished MacBook. The initial outlay will be more, but the resale value is good. I know people who've done this and actually came out a little ah

I pay for single sport subscriptions (UFC and MotoGP). I think they work out to about $10/mo for each. I don't follow the major US ball sports, but it seems like they're a bigger deal with more games than you can watch. Spend

I plucked an Aeron out of the garbage. The frame for the seat was broken, so I just ordered the replacement part. I guess that makes it more than $10, but still a great deal.

"Have" is a top 10 most common word for English. "Go" is only top 50. They've gone five times better. As for how much better you can do... Someone just (6 days ago) registered "be-lang.com" so we might get

The one that gets me is the suggestion that direct flights are more efficient. Sure, if you go from New York to Los Angeles, but it wouldn't make sense if you were headed to a smaller city away from a major centre. With millions to be

Maybe it's just me, but I didn't take away that the commenter felt it is unimportant and he humourously explained why. He also explained that the other things were of greater concern. More importantly, there's the fact that t

It's also common to open these up so that team members can grab a copy of your database. I haven't done that, but I can think of a case in the past few months where a developer had done so. Edit: Now that I think of it and especia

Last time I checked the data, there were approximately 80,000 aircraft flights in the USA each day. If 1% crashed, there would be 800 airplane crashes every day. While 1% seems like a small error rate, I find this comparison a good way to c
