Cliff, reading `The Cuckoo's Egg` in the 90's when I was in my early teens was a watershed moment in my life. Set me up upon a path of discovery and fascination with technology of all kinds. Countless thanks!

I too thought of this video and it is what introduced me to this particular form of "art". It's a good critique.

Not the person you're asking, but the book is over 80 years old and one of the best selling books of all time. Not exactly the same, but it's like asking where they heard about the Bible. It's everywhere.

I don't disagree, however... human beings can be lazy, short-sighted or take short-cuts. I wouldn't put it past someone to keep something where it shouldn't be, intentionally or by accident.

Only three? I'm pretty sure I can already count at least 3 UI fads that have come and gone in my Windows 10 install. Somehow it's gotten worse each time... I'm trying not to sound like a grumpy old man but it feels like each revision is more geared towards mobile device users and the product sees a corresponding loss of flexibility and configurability.

I'm the opposite. Back when in my early teens, friends and I would attempt to hijack opposing groups' channels via takeovers during net-splits (and ofcourse having the same done to us). What a time to be alive.

Could just be sloppy, inaccurate writing. But yeah that would be pretty bad.

I've been using tig a lot recently; I've always just used git from the command line, but if you're working with a number of files, tig is hard to beat when you learn a few of the hotkeys.

Search has always been absolutely terrible... it's nearly 2021... how can a billion dollar outfit still have terrible search?

I could not be happier that wearing a mask is more or less societally acceptable now.

Definitely a password-less, Internet facing MongoDB instance.
