Back in the 1990s when I was a hippie and really kind of anti-commercial I found a textbook on marketing that define marketing is the interface of the consumer and I I still like that definition. So seen that way marketing starts before you

My best friend in the 3rd grade had a player! An antique mall here has a lot of the disks and the way they are packaged makes them very collectible, but nobody in that community knows much about the players.

So far we have seen a lot of little things built into mainstream chips for the use of hyperscalers, things that don’t require big changes to the software stack. This proposal would require big changes to the software which may mean it r

I like deadstock Type II's and wish you could get new Type II's. Metal seems too much to ask, but who knows, evaporated metal is the standard for data storage tape and could be the basis of a new Type IV.

It is an unpopular opinion that organized crime networks can play a valuable role in that business. Like if a John gets rough with a girl it is probably fair if they get beat up but they ought to be able to appeal to a crime boss if they g

Some of it the effect of tells. “It’s not X, it’s Y” is not a bad pattern but it was baked into the instruction following training set just like the other patterns. I catch myself about to use it and use something else because I want to l

I'd admit the T-bird is ugly but my son wanted a "classic" car to go with his '95 Park Avenue daily driver and the price was right so he got it. It does make you royalty at the gas station!

Funny my son has a '79 Thunderbird with a 5.8ℓ engine which sounds great... but I can smoke it in a drag race with my Honda Fit.

I live in an 1850s farm house with a spring up the hill and a backup well with a pump for those Augusts where the trees pull all the water out of the ground (not quite this one!) Our main heating system is two wood stoves with a small pr

Different stores in different chains have a very different attitude. There is a Taco Bell in Ithaca which has a staff that has some esprit de corps and then another where the dining room is disgusting.

Back in the day with tools like CVS the branching facilities were awful and the pattern we usually had was do almost all the development in the trunk and then split off branches for releases. You really need those because once you are work

Not sure what to say about Threads. I mean, if you have an Instagram account they’ll try to give you a Threads account and photos I post to Insta automatically go to Threads so I am probably in the top 5% of Threads posters though I hardl

Reminds me of that time when, as an undergraduate, my "team" entered a Problem Solving Competition and couldn't choose one of the two problems so we did both in parallel. One of us wrote a program in BASIC on a Tandy 1000 t
