I used to live in Michigan, where we have a thing we call the "Michigan left". To turn right at an intersection, you continue straight through the intersection, then take a left turn at gap in the median to return to the intersect

Yeah, it’s at the point where search engines are now closer to shortcut bars for me. It’s rare that I don’t have to append “wiki” or “Reddit” to my search in order to find a decent result (which I assumed existed before I even searched it).

The content I want already exists. It’s provided for no charge on stackoverflow, reddit, Wikipedia, cppreference, and a handful of other high quality sources. All of which do not charge users a fee, most of which obtain the content from use

That backfired then (well, for me). I use DDG now because if my results are going to suck either way, I’d rather have privacy.

One question I have is, I thought the cloud was supposed to abstract this kind of stuff away? Shouldn’t cloud services be sold in the “solution domain” rather than by picking the backing technology behind your tool? For example, why not hav

if it's automatic, doesn't that make it "opt out", not "opt in"?

I've briefly tried the IVAS system on, and it seemed pretty obviously useful. I mean, HUDs are basically just assumed to already exist in hollywood movies. It doesn't seem like that complex or arcane a product to me.

This company made over $85 billion revenue in 2020 based on the idea that they can precisely target ads to specific groups. The claim that they can't outsmart 6 - 13 year olds (elementary school children) is not believable.

I am not aware of a linux board that can do this. It'd be pretty sick though, I'd love to be proven wrong. It seems to me that a microcontroller with an RTOS might be more up this alley (perhaps the esp8266/esp32 platform, bu

does esp32-rs have working wifi yet?

esp32-rs works fine on linux I think more embedded devlopers should insist on only using linux tooling. Windows is a broken platform for software development. Programming an embedded device should be as simple as using GCC and a flashing to

Look at what happened to Jack Ma. He made some measured but pointed criticism of the party's banking regulations and disappeared for a month. His IPOs got shut down and a host of new regulations were added that basically kill his ambit

I use hyper-v on my work laptop, and SSH in to a debian VM to access my dev environment. At home, I run Linux on my laptop and use KVM/libvirt for the kind of stuff you're discussing (when docker won't do, that is). I recomme

You're comparing corporate big tech to what, the lean and scrappy traditional military contractors? The level of incompetence in the military sector (private and public) is unfathomable unless you experience it in person.

by ahepp 5y ago
I think a lot of what stifles competition is the military itself. They aren't a good customer. They have lots of broken legacy systems. There are serious reputational risks. I don't really mean to suggest 22b is too low a cash pri

How much audio sample data would you need from the subject you're impersonating to do this? How did the fraudsters know what the manager's voice sounded like?

It was a competitive bidding process, no? I don't mean to suggest there aren't huge problems with the army's acquisition process, but it seems no one wanted to make them for less.

My credit card had a bunch of fraudulent charges ~30 minutes after I ordered. Obviously that could just be a coincidence, but it seems strange. But they are a pretty awesome service. I will just pay with crypto next time I guess.

Here's what I don't understand about this drama: is it really a serious burden to just deny these PRs? It looks like these are immediately obvious as spam, so the it's hard for me to see how it's a time sink.

If the market operated more efficiently, everyone would benefit. The question is, would it be more efficient? I can imagine some kind of federated system where restaurants put out a contract in response to a customer order, workers bid on i

My experience: It's very easy to overengineer. Both the SOAP WS-* extensions, and the underlying XML. The tooling and ecosystem suck. I found it a lot more difficult to use clients like soapUI as opposed to just banging on a REST API w

I think that's an important issue. If there isn't a real choice about where to live, it's a much bigger problem. I guess I'm under the impression that the labor market is pretty tight across the country right now. I was

Doesn't that dilemma also have an econ 101 answer though? The teachers, janitors, baristas, etc will move to the location that gives them a better quality of life. If they decide that's not San Francisco, they can move to a better
