This post is about how I’m doing the backup of my Mac using (the great) Carbon Copy Cloner software. Maybe you can take some inspiration. My setup is to have an external SSD that is always connected via USB-C to my Mac, but I don’t want to leave it mounted on my macOS system every time, due to security and because this would cause more disk wear. So I leave my disk attached to my Mac and CCC should mount it and do the backup, just in..

In honor of April Fools' Day, I decided to write about a blockchain topic. The crypto economy is in the process of speedrunning their way from zero to a modern economy, and when you move that fast, a few things have to break along the way. One of those things is corporate governance. Matt Levine's "Money Stuff" is a financial newsletter that I can't recommend enough. If you are at all interested in finance, stocks, and markets, it is ..

Software engineering, knowledge work, or most broadly any type of white collar labor is, primarily, the production of our own psychology. Our mental capacity is our means of production. We embody the values of our work. Our identity is tightly bound up with our careers, knowledge, skills, methods, company, and our industry— we are our work . Having our identities bound to our work, and most dangerously, to an employer severely limits on....

Because here’s something else that’s true. In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of God or spiritual-type thing to worship-be it J.C. or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan mother-goddess or the Four Noble Truths or some infrangible set of eth..

One member of the ever-growing stack of old laptops is my wife’s old Macbook Pro (Mid 2010) . Years ago I installed the maximum allowable RAM of 8 GB as well as a 250 GB SSD instead of the HDD it originally came with. It has the well-known issue of crashing whenever the discrete NVidia graphics are being used. A long time ago I started running Linux on it, as it feels much faster than the latest version of MacOS that would run on it, a..

Dan Goodin at Ars Tecnica, on multifactor authentication (2FA/MFA): Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a core defense that is among the most effective at preventing account takeovers. In addition to requiring that users provide a username and password, MFA ensures they must also use an additional factor—be it a fingerprint, physical security key, or one-time password—before they can access an account. Nothing in this article should be ..

I am going on a sabbatical. The last two years have been tougher than usual for most people, and for many the situation has not gotten any better in the last two months. In the course of those two years my partner has had to endure two distinct cancer diagnosis along with subsequent chemo & radiation treatments. While the whole ordeal has taken its toll mentally and physically, it has also drastically changed the trajectory of our lives.

A good starting point is the Guide . In this blog post, I'm going to walk through the initial steps. Along the way I'll draw some comparisons to things like Rails or Laravel. My goal in all this is re-implementing a recent project I built with a Java....

WFH Day 744 It’s a whole week now since we can’t use any water in the house due to a clogged sewage pipe between the property and the main sewer pipe. That clogged pipe led to a flooding of the bathroom in the basement. Bad experience… Several plumbing companies showed up and couldn’t resolve the problem. Some broke their machines snaking through the pipe. That wasn’t very reassuring to hear.

That's longer than my adult child has been alive, longer than I've ever been married, etc. I'd like to think I'm excellent at consulting but no one, no matter how experienced, can fail to make mistakes. This is a tale of when a consulting project goes wrong and how to extricate one's self. Today I ....
