"There’s a lot of stuff on the site that you’d only ever say in therapy" Yes that is indeed Reddit in a nutshell. May not want Reddit content in your next ChatGPT model, so not necessarily a bad thing.

I was messing around with an I2C controlled lithium battery charger on a raspi last night (long irrelevant story) and found out it does NOT support "fast charge" (probably not enough thermal monitoring?) but it does support larger

Why can't they use the library? Ours are very nice.

Better to have "the government" do it rather than a single political party like its done in the USA.

Something like Apache Guacamole as a https web to SSH "something" gateway? Go to http-something in your web browser which is a Guacamole install and log in to Guacamole as "guest" / "guest" then in guac th

The philosophy of postgresql was to do the best possible job the rightest way. Not necessarily the easiest to use nor fastest. The philosophy of mysql was to do the best it can as fast as it can for as many users as it can. Not necessaril

Its bad enough out there that the general public thinks the smell of hexane is what olive oil is supposed to smell like. Like you open a container of hexane in the chemistry lab and people say it smells like cooking oil. Um... not suppose

People who don't understand the system think leaking classified data is either James Bond nonsense or its like Trade Secrets where once the cat's out of the bag and its public it doesn't matter. Say you're arguing about

Its kind of impressive that getting hired is now slower than college admissions or getting married.

"the people" are not "the best", they don't need to hire top 1% ivy league only, to teach 100% of the taxpaying public whom pay for the CC. The local CC paid TAs the same at 2 year CC as at 4 year state U. Odd that

The program I successfully completed had detailed written documentation from both the CC and uni at sign up time, of exactly what needed to happen as part of the organized official admissions program. Grades had to be above C IIRC and they

I did this and was 100% successful, although the article propagandizes by asking what percentage of students once considered possibly obtaining a bachelors degree in the future which I'm sure is very high, whereas I was in a specific p

The only vote that matters is college graduate HR personnel, and their vote is that CC and associates degrees are lower than worthless, literally a waste of time, would be more likely to hire with two years of entry level or minimum wage wo

Math proofs are also 'discovered'. Another interesting thing to think about is cosmic rays are far stronger than anything we can create in a particle accelerator, but the current flow in an accelerator is a zillion times the inten

I found a wiki link for his book, its a pretty cool book. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo%27s_Egg_(book) IIRC he figured out how far away the hacker was by putting an o-scope on the rs232 line and measuring th

Is this "The" Cliff Stoll from the book in the old days? If so, cool. Or maybe his grandkid I don't know. The article could use some comments on alternative slide rule scales like the famous EE-specific slide rules and othe

If an advertising platform doesn't work well, it can only support extremely high profit margin luxury goods because cutthroat commodities can't afford ads that don't work. The real story is social media marketing is ineffecti

Did anyone consider who schedules trials? "Lets get the obvious ones out the way first" and "lets not start with an intense case first" so the worst outcomes would likely be around midmorning before lunch?

Not every culture values virtue signaling as much as the current regime in the west; performative acts are not necessarily going to influence other cultures such as China, etc.

Luxury brands usually do better than people expect during a recession, surprising to see. Apple product prices are far too high for the struggles of the working poor or proletariat to notice. Apple's always been a 1%-er aspirational

I've built stuff with 80s processors, like wire wrap and solder type of build, so I've read quite a few processor manuals/handbooks/datasheets over the years (decades...) After the failure of the 432 I saw a set of 432

I always find this weird as the closest big city to where I live had striking workers executed (as in gunned down in the street) for striking, so everyone takes them all, even a century later.

The e-waste issues of having to replace entire LED units every two to three years are worse than replacing an old fashioned bulb every decade.

I believe there were FUD pieces like this when internet search engines were rolled out, and again when social media became popular. I suppose its universal for new technologies. I had an interview awhile ago at a place where during the pho

What you're missing is range scales on square of power (or is it twice that for radar? I would think so) and all known forms of radiation have bio effects that scale by linear dose. So the 60 GHz presence detector transmits at +6 dBmW
