It's only a very small minority of engineers who do. Unless you're a PE and you get to sign off on large development projects, there's no real accountability. No matter how much teeth a governing body has, it's always go

Very interesting, but every one of these executives I try on my fairly stock Ubuntu system returns 'run-detectors: unable to find an interpreter'. I'm invoking them with 'bash -c'.

It's not a pump and dump. It's a short squeeze. It's nothing new. It's the plot of the 80s movie "Trading Places." A hedge fund bought short position futures contracts for 120% of the available stock on the mar

The part didn't break. Someone who thinks they know better decided to make it not work, and complicated some normal person's life with some security theater. If a manufacture intentionally made a product they sold you not work, mu

You're really going to scrap your car from 2015 because the off-brand android doo-hicky they stuck in it hasn't been updated? Even if you're technically inclined, it's not like installing some community provided roms ima

QuickCheck was probably the thing that stuck the most when delving into Haskell. While, I don't use Haskell daily, using some kind QuickCheck derivative in whatever language I'm working in is something that has stuck. It makes doi

You have some crusty MATLAB code that does an analysis exactly the way you need it. It was either written by someone who is long gone, or you don't have the resources to rewrite it in 202x's new computational language.

I just recovered from it. I'm pretty sure I got it walking out of a grocery store. I was wearing a mask, and was walking by another older man who was also wearing a mask and standing at the exit. He was hacking and coughing so hard tha

Word's "Reveal Formatting" just shows tabs, spaces, and carriage returns as distinct symbols iirc. Wordperfect's "Show Codes" tells you every attribute and layout change inline. For example, if bolded some text

Politics is just getting what you want. Software is already political. Commercial software traditionally does this through direct and indirect lobbying efforts. The DMCA didn't just spontaneously appear out of thin air. There must be a

Youtube-dl (2020) would be an easier case to present to the public than DeCSS (2000). Everyone knows what Youtube is. It's easy to understand the utility of being able to download a video from Youtube to save it on your computer. If th
