I love SQLiteStudio. On my machine it starts up in < 2s. Version 3.2.1 takes 99MB disk space and is built against QT5. I just ran some queries and the memory usage is only 80MB for a not too large database. Another self-contained applica

The 1992 study is basically irrelevant since the job market has changed drastically. There are way more self taught computer people out making money without degrees than in 1992 as just one major factor that has changed in over two decades.

This is covered in the BBS Documentary[1]. A comparison of Phil Katz work showed he just renamed variables and moved things around. Phil rallied the BBS community to character assassinate Thom. The documentary is shot years later and Thom s

Just tried out nextdoor.com. It tried to load 6 different tracking and marketing scripts that my browser addons blocked. Craigslist has 0. I will not be using nextdoor.

I read the language log pretty regularly and they tend to have quality content. Then you got a post like this which says the book is bad and everything about it is bad after skimming it in a book store. An entire review based on skimming an

This book needs some serious editing. There is clunky English which native speakers can figure out the gist of it but English as a second or later language would have a problem with. There are parts where I wonder why certain terminology is

I have a portable air conditioner but it is not as portable as you would think. It is about 2.5 feet tall, sits on nice rolling wheels and has a small exhaust and fitting so you open your window and put the pipe end in place to vent the hea

After reading this article I can tell that the author does not understand the problems going on in Detroit and has not even been there. The city is a 3rd world country. Besides the abandoned/burned out buildings and crime the city has

They are watermarking scans of items that are not in copyright since they predate the copyright system. What kind of bullshit is this? These should all be public domain. Is there anyone besides Google and the Vatican that watermark public d

Another New York is the best at X story. Every time another city does something good New York tries to copy it. They have to keep this kind of PR up to promote living in an ultra expensive area.

The content is not licensed creative commons. The code to the actual site is not open source, only the code to use the API. I would not call this an open source project or a major win. A major win would be a uniformly licensed content base

The city I live in now only has 2 traditional style malls left. When I moved here numerous years ago it had 7 malls, all of which were accessible by bus. That is a major change and there has been no new malls built. The buildings just stand

I like the SPORE (Specification to a POrtable Rest Environment) approach better. You create a description file in JSON and each native language client can use that file to access the HTTP API. https://github.com/SPORE/s
