Turbo Pascal was my first IDE, and it was pretty nice for the time. Learning all the hotkeys and the immediacy of the interface was top notch. Help files were extremely well written which made getting back to writing code very fast.

American drivers are terrible and rules are barely enforced. License is cheap/free/no training so that's what we get. With people on their phones, roads will have to become obstacle courses with speed bumps and undulating cur

I always do half and half, a mostly live demo with some cooking show style start and results. It does depend on your audience, and there is charm in a live demo. No one wants to see a terminal, that's for sure, so don't display co

I snagged a really nice levoit purifier during the wildfires, along with a PM2.5/10 sensor to verify its operation. Works great, even when the filter is "up" it still reduces by 95%~. I can verify this is functioning by turni

Like any elephant, you eat it one piece at a time. They probably can’t big bang this project. Now more than ever, EU could lose access to OpenAI et al overnight.

The first example sounds like a cry for help. Some of them have tone wobbles which iirc was more common in early TTS models. Looks like the huge context window is really helping out here.

Start your archiving engines! There is the possibility all of these laws go against the consumer. When the economy gets bad, companies invent new fun ways to make number go up. After the last few years I stopped caring about streaming media

The smugness of my interviewer during live coding tests has caused me to stop immediately and says “thanks for the opportunity”. Either ageism, or just being a jerk for some reason. Guy was breaking my balls over tree searches, which I have

Let me put it this way: in my area, the vast majority are veneers or what looks like a vinyl sticker. This is an inversion of what it used to be, which was the majority were hardwood. The market in every geo is different, but I am in a top

This article is really trying to gaslight us into believing it is only pessimism, when decline in quality is very real. The best example is that ikea no longer sells solid wood tables, they are particle board with wood grain stickers. The e

I've definitely gotten something similar to this in dev slacks offering to use my upwork/linkedin to get a job and then I hand it off to someone else. They claim they'll pay 30-50k/y. Sounds like my IRL value just keeps

Yes! I was a bouncer for a while here in Philadelphia, and our bar/dancefloor had a rule on St. Patricks day: If you're wearing any green, you can't come in. Worked great, never had any problems on St. Patricks day. "You

Them’s the breaks! No universals in travel. I’ll enjoy every train ride in your stead. More to the point, I don’t see myself getting meaningful work done on planes due to how much they suck total ass.

Send a note. The director of my old lab was essentially a proxy father for me for nearly 10 years, and inspired me to take my life and career more seriously, which I did. Work was not the only thing, but life. I took up running because I lo

What you do save is the bedraggled feeling of dealing with air travel. When I get off the sleeper, after billing hours on the way of course, I arrive refreshed with a full stomach and right out into the city.

This was a fantastic piece of software that was included with your Sound Blaster card. At that time, it was uncommon to have a sound card, most computers had a PC speaker that produced beeps and in some really rare cases (Star Control 2 did

A reason for bw cam is sensitivity. No bayer filter means you capture all the photons. There are cameras that are sensitive enough to count photons as well. When I was in the lab we used EMCCD cameras (electron multiplier ccd) that we used

I did see two fakes hired at my old company, a 20 something "senior eng" who couldn't use git or python, and shockingly a VP who managed to fake it for nearly a year. He was unceremoniously fired on a Friday, but he was still
