For me it was "J2EE Development without EJB" by Rod Johnson / Jurgen Holler, published in 2004. In the late 90's and early 2000's Sun insisted you could build industrial scale web applications with Java, but only

Interesting article. Note that many of the clues in the article are mis numbered. Not sure why. Refer to the original puzzles linked for the correct clues.

It's crazy enough this will be fixed soon. Years ago I found an actual hidden error in my bill. (This was early 2010s). The system was calculating the EC2 reservation savings incorrectly for some of my servers. I was crunching all t

I agree this is a good exploit to write about. But name and employer are hardly your deepest darkest secrets.

Huh. I was wondering why my auth expired and I had to resubscribe in one of my channels. Everything has an expiration date it seems. I assumed I just missed a reminder email or message.

Hah. I grew up when everyone had their names in the phone book with phone number and home address. It matters more to some people than others.

Can someone help clarify this for me? Is it correct to say that users would only get the compromised version if they downloaded from the website? Notepad++ has auto-update feature, is there any indication that updates from the AutoUpdate we

Fair enough! Guilty of that attitude, no doubt. I note the corrections in the message above re emphasis on Woz/Jobs. I think mostly I was annoyed at the emphasis on how the computer is untouched and unused, which seemed the antithesis

Oh man. Both love and hate this video. It’s so slick, which seems the opposite of the late 70s homebrew backer culture. The video is designed to appeal to nerd nostalgia. However it has problems right from the start when it emphasizes Jo

Very nice. I note that in some ways the pictures really contribute to the story. For example, see the story on Eeyore's tail missing. The clue is that the picture shows the tail hanging as a cord to ring the doorbell. The alt text

Holy moly. I don’t think I’ve ever read an article so angry. Every paragraph has a sensational opinion or put down posing as fact. There’s some fascinating industry trends here but the analysis in the article is overwhelmed by the cacoph

How is this different than a US or European based company hiring someone with a high degree of knowledge from another US or European country? What makes this more of a ethical violation because a national order was crossed?

Nice moment of nostalgia seeing that. The Chaos book was mind blowing to all of us young math / cs nerds at the end of the 80s. Spent my Christmas break in college working with an artist coding Mandelbrot drawing routines on a IBM 286

Wow. that brings back memories. My favorite website from the early 90s. I used to rush to check it out after each new episode to see the commentary. Love that it still exists 30 years later. There's a lot to say for a simple styl

It’s an odd situation when an acquaintance dies. It affects you but it can also feel like you don’t have a right to grieve compared to those who knew them closely. Some years ago a neighbor of mine was hit by a light rail train after darti

I always thought the insistence on 100% adherence to the sealed airlock was a bit of vanity. When they had to take one of the residents out for surgery, and sent them back in with some food and supplies, the press treated it like a betraya
