My mom was watching random Youtube videos. In an "Only in NYC" one, a dude in a superhero costume was sitting in a subway car while solving a Rubik's cube one-handed while only looking at it with side-eye. I guess us humans a

If you want to peek into consumer or any electronics.. probe with a signal analyzer for the usual suspects: RS-232 (TTL-levels, CMOS-levels, and serial-levels), JTAG, SPI, and I2C. First, probe header pins and test points (rows of pads not

MDE plan 2 had problems where MS was pushing out under-tested signatures. One time, they pushed out defs that deleted all menu shortcuts for some users, leading them to believe all of their software had been uninstalled.

I'm disgusted by the triumphal celebration of an atrophied cog in the military-industrial complex that monetized more efficient killing. Also, Stanford evaded their charter by forming SRI to do defense work, and hired from the USAF rev

You could download zillions more from their BBS, especially when new printers came out. That list was seemingly endless. Also, when they supported video cards for print preview, similarly they had extensive support.

And Lotus 1-2-3, SuperCalc, dBase, and R:Base. I met one of the Lotus cofounders on a group bicycling vacation tour in Europe. While legally blind at the time, he had a strategy for participating without crashing into anyone else.

How else would I have shrunk 12 pages of high-school physics notes to fit on the allowed 3x5" (76x127mm) index card with 0.1 pt font printed in raster mode at 600 dpi on an HP LaserJet 4? WP 5.2 for DOS. IIRC, Word for Windows at the t

Google Image search? Btw, for through hole soldering and rework, Idea-Tek PCSA is on a completely different level of efficiency.

A. If a gun were placed to your head and you had to write a native Windows app, what stack would you use? B. And, if you had to write a cross platform app, which framework would you use?

It's not just one program but most. DoD let the industrial part of the MIC loose without meaningful fiscal controls. They don't even track every subcontractor properly.

Americans ought to petition USPS to do this. It sounds extremely convenient because it doesn't require a Pitney Bowes printer or printing anything from Endicia. PS: Are those tiny, cheap, desktop laser engravers powerful enough to &quo

PSA: If you're running a business and some databases store vital customer or financial data, consider EnterpriseDB (EDB). It funds Postgres and can be used almost like Oracle DBMS. And definitely send encrypted differential backups to

Achievable with formal verification and soft- and hard-realtime worst case timing validation. It's not impossible but also not easy. It requires significant engineering investment.

That's shrugging off inferior processes and substandard work. Bugs are unnecessary because there is a finite amount of code and they can all be eliminated if the correct eyeballs spend sufficient time reviewing, testing, and simplifyin

What I like about seL4 (although not a complete embedded dev platform) is formally-verification. QNX might have EAL4 in some configurations, but like most every other operating system on the planet, they haven't bothered to up their ga

And panopticon surveillance and control over every move you make in life by corporations, small businesses, and governments. Want to tip the cashier or give money to the homeless window washer? No. Also, AI social credit and precrime are ju

Yep. It's a passive-aggressive way to blame the victim for not participating in gotcha capitalism.

Their other past actions including knowingly selling products containing known carcinogens and exploiting slave labor can't be brushed under the rug with some greenwashing or philanthropy PR.

RTO ultimatum means they're definitely a soulless corporation. Oh and don't forget their history of use of carcinogenic materials and slave labor.

Class warfare by manufacturing consent instigating divide-and-conquer and promotion of ideas against one's own best interests. Similar to how Fox News radicalized the working poor to also hate immigrants, homeless, and the disabled in

Chevron also snuck out of a billion dollar lawsuit liability based on whether a comma in a civil engineering build code meant "and" or "or".

If that church doesn't lack the values of helping the downtrodden, they appear to lack the spine to advocate for or defend them. How Christian of them.

Most Christian churches in America are elitist, hermetically-sealed cults. They come together one day a week to celebrate how superior and self-righteous they are, while stepping over homeless people and looking down on them the other 6 day

I was technically homeless for 9 years. This is the further erosion of social safety nets and criminalization of poverty while dodging the responsibility of not helping people who need it.

Whaaa? Maybe they should donate to, I don't know, the Computer History Museum rather than allow speculative collectors to pick the bones of historical artifacts.

Sad. I'm mid-40's and consider RTO to be an outdated waste of time and money for both the employees commuting and causing pollution and the company leasing office space for no purpose. Ironically, Dell's inside and outside sa

Never quit. Find a better job that buys out your vesting schedule (which is industry standard) and/or force them to lay you off.
