Hopefully they can expand this to include drop down boxes, buttons, text inputs, etc. Imagine... a fully programmable user interface that works on graphics.

"It's not about the destination it's about the journey" is extremely cliche in my experience, though it may be good advice.

Warning: there is a well documented bug with the FreeNAS boot loader's interaction with Dell PowerEdge servers. Be prepared to spend hours getting it to install if that's your hardware.

That's not necessarily relevant. It's been rebutted point by point http://forums.devshed.com/php-development-5/php-fractal-bad-..., and PHP has undergone major changes since that was written.

As a professional logo designer for over a decade, the Moz://a is the best, but they're all bad and inferior to the current logo.

It would be nice if they just used SIP in the first place so that other systems could interoperate with FaceTime. Typical Apple.

Because you have no faith doesn't mean no one else does, what you're saying is false. There are people who obey God, even though you clearly can't imagine it.

"IT" is me :) And yes it was an oversight, the rest of the network is comprised of thin clients running RDP, this was the one regular Windows box. Since replaced.

I administer a network of about 100 computers. One night I was monitoring the logs for the web proxy on the front of the network. It was around 2 AM and no one was there but me, so I was surprised to see dozens of connections streaming by with URLs like microsoft.com/userdata.aspx. I figured out it was the one box on the network that upgraded itself to Windows 10. Very disconcerting.

I always wonder what percentage of corporate America's time is spent looking busy or alt-tabbing between a spreadsheet and solitaire when the boss walks by. If you could quantify it I bet the amount of waste is staggering.

That's nothing compared to LenPEG 3 http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/lenpeg.html

I remember an explanation for the calming effect of nature by David Allen of Getting Things Done fame. He claims that the environment is too complex so your mind "lets go" he repeats some of that here https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20121027044918-402563-david-a... I'm not sure what the basis of that analysis is, but he could be right. I contrast that with the jail from THX 1138 which doesn't seem like it would be relaxing http://nightflight.com/wp-content/uploads/THX-1138-6.jpg

I've honed the discipline you describe as a byproduct of living in New York City. Long-term storage is limited to 1 bag of camping gear and 1 box of souvenirs. Anything else is used monthly at a minimum.

I was just at his shop a few days ago and his guy there said they couldn't fix a loose RAM chip so now I'm out $700 for a logic board, contrary to the article's acclaim:

>Using a microscope connected to a camera, Louis walks the viewer through the entire procedure, which involves tracking down the problem via common sense and diagnostic tools, and then replacing the faulty components. This is the kind of “surface mount” repair Apple considers impossible – much to Louis’ frequent amusement.

However I'm on his side here. Apple's approach is quite troublesome: soldering everything so it's impossible to upgrade, creating iPhone screws that if put back in the wrong place short the phone, etc. I know catering to the non-technical, to the point of being anti-technical, has been a hallmark of Apple's (Jobs') philosophy since the beginning but I don't have to like it.

Although we can agree we should be sanitizing inputs, I haven't seen a consensus on the use of ORM as a best practice and wouldn't say its employment is inherent in using a framework well. There's nothing wrong with writing SQL queries if everything leading up to that point is handled correctly.

I have in my .bash_profile for this purpose: alias cleardns='dscacheutil -flushcache' but this solution is way funnier.

I am often puzzled by Stack Overflow posts. Very often, the answer or leading link to a technical question I'm searching for is a Stack Overflow post and in the overwhelming majority of those cases the posts are marked as closed for being off-topic.

>You effectively consent to being governed by continuing to live within the national boundaries associated with the government associated with that nation

To play devil's advocate on this particular point, it could be argued that the place of your birth is by definition your home to which you're entitled a natural right.

My proposal is that almost nothing moves to the dbms, everything moves to the client except perhaps authorization. Unfortunately I can't fully defend my line of reasoning without saying, here's a link to my fully described or developed alternative architecture, which I don't have. However that doesn't mean it's not possible, it seems to me to be achievable. Even if it would require changes to HTTP, the database (row, column, and cell-level authorization?), or the browser - the end result would presumably be worth it. I imagine it would be much easier to reason about an application that is data and data authorization on one side, and logic on the other.

By removing the server-side layer I mean, for example, moving the "model" logic in MVC to the client. The database is still there, but it doesn't perform any application logic, so the server-side layer is moved to the client, not the database. The challenge then becomes authorization. Ideally even the database would be ad-hoc distributed yet would maintain authorization functions or at least the practical result of them, so there's no server-side whatsoever.

I do it with vim and fireplace.vim, it took about 45 minutes to get going. Definitely worth it.

Thanks for pointing me to that article. I've been mulling over for years how to architect apps to remove the server, that layer never sat well with me. I've also found I couldn't discuss the problem with anyone because "clients can't access the database directly!" is such a knee-jerk reaction.

As someone who grew up in Palm Springs I can't believe there was a startup there. There is absolutely nothing going on there. Maybe it's changed in the last 10 years.

If I'm not mistaken there's still a lot of the original Unix code in the BSD distros, but I haven't studied it enough to be sure of that.

They could file an amicus brief with the court.

People spend countless hours forming lingering one-way emotional relationships with actors as a byproduct of suspension of disbelief. This creates a false sense of familiarity and therefore trust in the actor as a person. Actors in turn tend to acquire a Shoe Button Complex as a result of this misplaced trust which compounds the problem.

My interest in the thoughts of those I don't know personally is restricted to the specific domains in which they've demonstrated competency.
