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!
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.
Your recollection does not comport with my own. A lot of sensitive classified information was leaked, a good deal of it having nothing to do with warrant-less wire-tapping, etc.
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.
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.
I prefer Gitlab for private installs, but the community edition lacks many critical features that are only present in the paid version (export/import of issues, I'm looking at you)
Wow, I'm so happy to see this is the first result (the reason I came to comment.) I've tried and failed many times to pick up a fundamental, from the ground-up understanding of electronics and electrial theory. Forrest Mims' "Getting started in electronics" was good, but the All About Circuits text book had the depth and accessibility and I was looking for.
A YouTuber (carykh) made a video where he explains an algorithm he made to automatically process lecture videos by speeding up, condensing and removing parts of the video.
