Grumpy old software architect and engineer. Usability and accessibility advocate. Makes software better. I made Publizjr, Ged2Dendro, and currently work on UmpireDB.

I bet you wouldn’t leave the house without pants on. Tie your keys to your pants’ belt loops. Buy pants with belt loops or augment already bought ones to fit. Put your phone in a bag and carry that bag everywhere. Make it a habit.


I received a job offer to work at Flock, as a security architect ensuring tenants don’t see each other’s videos… I’m declining. Flock it.


What’s common among other C++ programs in a similar ecosystem? Mimic that.
For instance, among OTP applications in Erlang, it is common for an application to publish a :start/0 and :stop/0 function, alongside :load/0 which neither stops nor starts, and sometimes :connect/1 and :disconnect/1 functions.


Is that why AWS’ cli has parts written in and distributed with python? Your feelings in this matter, are irrelevant.


So… can the FsTx file from my computer disable bitlocker on yours? Because that would be interesting.

My children’s schools and after-school extracurricular clubs (including ones offered by the local police department) still are held hostage by Alphabet, forcing me to also maintain an account with them. But… I don’t need to use it for anything else.
A clear indication of bad requirements.
So what’s your opinion on languages like haskell and erlang, that infer static types?


Once upon a time I worked with a CMS that allowed an admin to delete the CMS itself and also any web server that ran it. Poof: gone. Fun times.


ELI5?
Author wrote a lot of words about data and state, but I’m not sure I understand the argument. Please explain like I’m 5?


Remember that the Council is meant to protect and enable trade. They only care about citizens for submitting them to exploitation.
If you discuss “the EU” you have to distinguish between Council and Parliament. The Council has no obligation to act according to the Parliament’s wishes. They are not a democracy.
Personally, I hate awaiting async actions and prefer callbacks. Just execute when done, thanks. I don’t care in which order.
