I'm head of engineering at a local kiosk company (www.advancedkiosks.com) and we are doing fun things with very little resources! We recently implemented Google MediaPipe for presence detection. That was fun. We use custom printed micr

I changed it back to use default browser. It took all of 60 seconds to google the answer. They totally should take a calculated risk like this in order to gain more market share. Exercising control over software defaults rarely causes users

Some substances help me ask that all important question in the first place. Waking up, brushing teeth, going to work, doing chores, raising kids, family time, rollerblading, gardening, studying... These activities don't help me ponder

They think this way because Christians are the majority in their area and they think democracy is about making laws for the majority. I used to live in Texas in the 90's and was taught to think this way in school.

Web devs have become blue collar!? =P Great idea, actually. I do hope for a curriculum that enables kids on the trade school path to learn more about programming. Why not Master/Journeyman/Apprentice style learning for web dev??

I dug into old blues a few years ago. Robert Johnson came up again and again. I decided to give him a listen and have liked him ever since. It won't keep you on your seat. It all starts to sound the same after a while. The recording qu

A lot of folks can relate to that I bet. To typing in something in Google, clicking on a few results, learning some new keywords you didn't know before, putting those back into Google, and rinsing and repeating until you get the result

+1 again but it's not just the Fortune 500. My employer (15 employees) hired a blind technology consultant when we were designing a kiosk for a major US Airport. We invited a blind user from a local non-profit advocacy group to come t

It's weird reading about my life as if it's history. Everyone was doing it. I remember my teachers, friends, and family all giving me pirated software at some point. I remember my friends and I getting excited when someone got a r

For me, kombucha has been a natural progression of my exploration into fermented foods. The concept that so many of our favorite foods are produced with the assistance of bacteria is just fascinating to me. The funky flavors of fermented f

That's right! He should be free to work on the problems that are most pressing in his field, as he sees them, because he's the expert.

That's wild to me because it's my understanding that most HR departments consider anything over 30hrs a week to be full-time. I didn't encounter any of that last time around. My offer from Farmer's included a pension an

I work a four day workweek and have been for a full year now. I'm likely to never return to a 40hr workweek. I actually ended up interviewing at a few places a couple of months ago (Capital One, Farmers, few other smaller companies).

Kiev and the US wouldn't have to uphold any agreements if Russia leaves Ukraine. Once they leave, the war is over. No "deal" is needed here.

To mix or not to mix? That is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer, the soaking of pasta in outrageous marinara, or to take arms against a sea of sauce. I remember Anthony Bourdain asking his Sicilian family this que

I used it at work yesterday. I asked it to write a promise that returns true after 30 seconds. It did. Easy stuff I suppose... I gave it some code which was an obscure looking Typescript type that was using several utility types. ChatGPT ga

That can be good thing, imo. Young people have little power to change the world around them, yet they take responsibility for "making the world a better place". I find it inspiring when companies do this too.

I think it would hurt less with TypeScript global types. Just need to know what IDs you'd expect to find in the DOM.
