My vague memories of DP are centered around the custom ranges for cycling through color palettes. A talented artist could make simple animated scenes.

I wouldn't describe software as most people experience it as more complex. And civil engineering projects are constantly fixing unforeseen design problems either during construction or afterwards. I would distinguish the failure modes

Yeah I thought of that one, but still reckon DevOps goes well past it.

I don't know of any other term in tech that people experience in so many different often contradictory ways that causes people to talk past each other because they're all talking about different things or been places that work so

In my experience civil engineers get paid less than software developers of equivalent experience or responsibility.

I have a 13yr old 27" Ultrasharp still going well. +1 to only buy Ultrasharp if buying from Dell. The others can be junk.

In 2011 I would've had trouble believing there could be a trillion dollar AI company, but that if there was such a company I could almost expect they would make such an asinine statement.

Yup, knew that equation. My point was I only ever recalled the effects of gravity on mass being called a force, and never gravity itself being called a force. eg no mass, no force - gravity being a field that causes forces (on mass) rather

My physics is very rusty and very basic, but I don't think classical physics said gravity was a force either. eg in Newton's 2nd law or engineering mechanics, gravity is the "a" or the "g" not the "F"

The last short lived generation of VCR we owned had an on screen menu/UI driven by the remote control for setting time and programming a scheduled recording rather than arcane and tedious sequences of button presses. I was surprised th

Isn't Markdown more a competitor to Restructured Text rather than Docbook or Word?

There was a stretch of time between when specific mastering for CDs started and before the loudness war kicked in. Plenty of time for good recordings to happen.

An ex lease Thinkpad T Series with Intel graphics is a good choice for value and compatibility. eg a T490 or T14 era machine. Using hardware at least 6-12 months old is a good way to get better compatibility. Generally Linux drivers only st

Whoa strong nostalgia hit from that photo. I seem to remember the R13 (the last version I used before shifting into tech) stack of manuals was even bigger. The Office 4.3 set of manuals were large too, but didn't have the information d

I think that is normal across most technologies or fields. Progress is an S curve (or series of curves), and it's easy to be amazed when looking at the steep bit. Early on progress is slow due to not much investment and going down lots

It's more than just solving a problem though, you should be solving the given problem without creating new problems. This is where the working/secure code aspect comes in.

TDSDS seems more of a real thing than TDS. The intellectual equivalent of "I know you are, but what am I?"
