You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

So if I do a new W10 install and click the Demented Blue E, I'll get a modal dialog box with 2 buttons "Firefox" and "Chrome"; and after clicking one that browser installs itself and the Demented Blue E goes away?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The CEO of one of the fastest-growing tech companies has some advice on how to make decisions with big data: Trust your gut. Tummy > Big Data. Ouch.

Gut reactions are the definition of confirmation bias, as when they are wrong we blame indigestion.

Wonder if he has a gut feeling his company will take a major hit when he enforces geofencing....

They don't have any software to randomly crash his gut like they do with the big data VMs?

A record number of Air Force drones crashed in major accidents last year, documents show, straining the U.S. military’s fleet of robotic aircraft when it is in more demand than ever for counterterrorism missions in an expanding array of war zones. But is anyone asking the drones how they feel about it?

One of my co-workers is known to drone on and on...
hopefully he'll crash soon too.

Docker today announced the acquisition of Unikernel Systems, a Cambridge, UK-based startup that aims to bring unikernels to the masses (or at least the masses of developers). Maybe it's time to start that OCaml book.

Every year, SplashData complies a list of the millions of stolen passwords made public throughout the last twelve months, then sorts them in order of popularity. I feel pretty good about myself, my password is only #21.

To be fair, I have used 123456 myself on several web sites that I have exactly 0 intention of ever visiting again, but for some bewildering reason, they require me to signup just to view something or make a brief comment.
So yeah, I'm sure there are lots of 123456 passwords with keyboard-mash usernames out there.
Also, bots. Who cares if someone steals a spambot's password?

I’m hacking on an assembly project, and wanted to document some of the tricks I was using for figuring out what was going on. This post might seem a little basic for folks who spend all day heads down in gdb or who do this stuff professionally, but I just wanted to share a quick intro to some tools that others may find useful. It's Friday. And on Friday we talk about assembly.
