Looks nice, but... It doesn't appear to be set up to work without logging in to Steam first. That really reduces the portability.

If it's a book that's only available DRM, I buy it on the Kindle. I'm not fond of buying DRMed books, but most are only available that way, and Amazon is the most likely to still be around in the future. For non-DRM: Tor Boo

Perhaps replace the time worked with time spent looking for another job. Despite having faced suicidal depression a time or two myself, I have no great advice to offer; but one of the things I've turned to many times is a bit in the A

Thank you. I think Nintendo's quote from that article is even funnier: "Nintendo does not talk about confidential discussions with other companies. In any event, nothing came of these discussions."

Speed. I moved mostly to Ruby years ago, but when doing lots of text processing, a trivial script in Perl runs a lot faster than a similar trivial script in Ruby.

That doesn't work, unless you have an unusual Linux setup: $ tar -zxvf srs-epub.epub gzip: stdin has more than one entry--rest ignored tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now But you can do

The part where your friend stopped playing you -- that's something that I just don't understand, on a fundamental level. My brother-in-law talked about chess for years, I finally agreed to play him, and won both games. He's

"They won't admit to this on their website"? I think it's more that they won't shut up about it. Their entire business model and their marketing is all based on the idea that most people are around wifi most of th

The date on the status page is 9:50 AM PDT, the original poster posted well before that. It isn't historically uncommon for AWS outage information to be posted and commented on here well before the status page is updated.

I had such a wonderful visual in my head, of drones with tiny machine guns doing night strafing runs on rats... Sigh. (Also was looking forward to the next article, about the rats scavenging from the drones and firing back...)

Usually, that's because /bin/mv is just changing a link to the file, not moving the file itself. In cases where it's actually moving the file -- say across a file system boundary -- it does copy the file and then delete

The article mentions "promotional" pens, pens with logos on them. One of the things I never understood about promotional pens is how they're almost always really junky pens. So they go in the garbage. If it was a nice pen,

Very interesting article. I recently visited New York and spent a day at the Met. As a tech-employed American who can afford to do things like fly to New York for a week, $25 dollars seemed like an amazing deal. An unbelievable deal, real

I like DO, and appreciate them being open with the outage timeline. Two thing really jump out at me though: 1.) If they have a time-delayed replica, why not recover it to the point-in-time before the issue, and then switch master over to i

In this case, it looks like they could have, since the replica was time-delayed -- stop replication, then carefully let it continue replication up to the point you want, then switch it to master.

I look at man pages all the time. On the other hand, I avoid Java as much as possible, so I might not be the best test market.
