This will give the techies a reason to give to their bosses to pay off that technical debt that has accrued with these systems. Every system that uses outdated websites will need to upgrade. And they will have two years to do it. It makes t

Evaporative cooling plus the fact it freezes at night, and they have a system for transferring melted run off to the outside to refreeze. Being originally from a hot, HUMID climate, I find these articles so exasperating. It can get to 85 de

My biggest issue as well. People seem to be drawn to creating a DSL for their problem set, and then programming in that. I've thought of Go as the Anti Lisp, in that there will be NONE OF THOSE SHENANIGANS LIKE THAT HERE. I think that&

I assume they are talking animation-wise. While it may be a complicated picture to draw, most of the power line shots are still shots, which means they only have to draw the power lines once. Static pans across a background are a classic wa

Web based encryption. Pointless. If you trust them enough not to send you bad Javascript, you trust them not to read your emails. You trust them with your private keys. If you trust them with all that why even encrypt the mail client side?
