I don't think that many people actually do hold this belief. That's why someone had to make a bot to create the illusion.

I recently started using PostgreSQL for a project and have been pleasantly surprised on more than one occasion. I also have been hearing more and more people speak highly of it, especially for its security.

I'm pretty good at not falling victim to this. I don't check facebook. I don't watch TV or the news. I don't listen to the radio. I have a suite of ad-blocking technology. My attention is entirely mine to direct. Instead

Since I studied how humans sometimes have poor judgments for a briefly, I had the opposite reaction: I immediately imagined some young person from the 1800's saying "Well gee why would you want to record sounds when you go can go

It may come across as a simplistic answer but here it goes: just get comfortable making mistakes and being wrong. When I first entered this sphere, one thing that immediately struck me was the worshiping of brilliant ideas/code and the

I've been listening to Python podcasts recently and this is certainly the impression I'm getting. Plus, there are always backports for those who cling to 2.7.

The article got me thinking what might happen in a dystopian future where all networks are under tight control and surveillance. Well, there's already the dark web... But what about the physical "backbone" to support a world

“Those are some lovely data packets you’ve got there. It sure would be a shame if they got lost on their way to your users.” There were a lot of good quotes from the article, but this one struck me as particularly apt. I saw something on tu

I thought this was pretty cool but missing something. Until I realized that uMatrix was blocking Cloudflare. Once I loaded the rest of the site... Awesomeness. Great work, whoever made this.

I agree, but I'm finding it's hard to follow through with the extra hour in the morning, before the commute and everything. Maybe an audio book could still work.

How common is this in Linux development? Is it better to have two competing solutions and "may the best one win"? Or would it be more effective for those two teams to work together on one project?

So you came from Arch, and thought FreeBSD had quite a learning curve? Hmm maybe I should rethink FreeBSD and stick with Mint.

I was waiting for the author of the article to mention Asimov, but he never did :( It's too bad because Asimovs Three Laws of Robotics 1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
