I used to think that also until I studied economics in college. If you don't understand how deflation can be a bad thing, I suggest spending some time reading up on it. Deflation isn't just about prices drop while all else remai

My office had two small nap rooms in the break room. A small bench-like bed, a blanket, and a sliding door that makes a dark room. It's bed really to take a 20 minute break to refresh and refocus.

I wouldn't be surprised to see AMD release an APU SoC with HBM memory built in, a step closer to an entire "computer" being a single chip.

For 2FA I like how Microsoft does it. You have an app on your phone. When they need to authorize you, they push to the all and it automatically pops up with approve and decline buttons. You verify the code is the same on the phone and scree

Transmeta CPUs used a VLIW architecture with a software layer that decoded x86 instructions into VLIW instructions. The software worked a bit like a JIT where optimizations would be applied to frequently running code. I would credit them fo

My intro to EE choose in college was like this. We started with just gates, then built one register, then duplicated that register and eventually had a simple CPU. We could do some math but that's about it. No Tetris.

I did a year a computer science before switching majors. Computer science doesn't teach students how to be software developers. It's an academic study of computing, which is important but not for the majority of development jobs.

That's unnecessarily complex. Just ask for the old password when doing an expiration reset. Validate the old one then compare that against the proposed new one.
