Crazy. I remember last year when the guy died from this thing. I live in the same area as The Fantasy Lake park where he got it, so it was pretty memorable. I wonder if this means that we are starting to see this virus more often. If we are

It hardly seems like this is what is happening, though.

I always wondered how we squared disallowing things like WeChat and TikTok with freedom of speech. This whole thing feels a bit hyperbolic. Is there real danger lurking around the corner if we allow people to shit post on TikTok, for instan

One of the things that I have discovered is that treating people in this way can be a bit of a double edged sword though. When I was working at my last company I was on a team of three, and I wound up being the guy that dealt with all of th

I see your point, but I dealt with users far more often than just whenever they needed tech support. Interactions with users were more common in my position than just when they needed help. I provisioned all the computers for the company I

Yes, users are fucking dumb. I use to work help desk for a number of years, and the stories I could tell... Though, I sorta object to treating them all like their stupid. There are stupid users, and then there are users that are stupid beca

ITT a lot of people who don't have kids talking about the "benefits" of having children. It's pretty clear anyone who talks about "benefits of being of parent" don't have kids.

Oh neat. I found a problem with a script I wrote today because of this. I wrote a script recently that takes several screenshots from the same folder, merges them using Image Magick and outputs the merged image into a PDF. Found out through

It's interesting until you see the 10th comment comparing some old software against Electron. Then it comes meme-y.

n-o-d-e seems to have the best designed project out of all of these. Like it looks like something I would actually want to buy. Though it does depend on the price. All of these hand-held devices look really attractive until you see the pric

Thanks! I hope so. I just got an awesome internship. Hoping it'll turn things around for me.

Just feels like a cheap way to get Internet karma to compare old apps to modern apps made with Electron.

Electron hate is starting to become such a meme lately.

It was a calculated risk. And I was, and still am, very poor. 3,000 is basically an entire months pay for me at this point. Back then it was two months pay. I don't work as a programmer, yet (knock on wood). So paying 3k is basically o

yeah you're probably right. I don't remember the exact numbers. Though I was also telling a story and exaggeration tends to be a part of story telling. It's like saying I saw an alligator as big as a house. Sure, probably did

In the Prius III (the only one I personally worked on) there is a safety plug which cuts the voltage. It's actually pretty simple once you start to understand how the system works.

Let me tell you a story. I bought a Prius once because I thought I was clever and I was going to get a great car with great gas mileage. I read on the Internet that despite what everyone says about the battery that it is actually very rare

There is not going to be a mass exodus from high paid workers in California unless there is a mass exodus of perfect weather.

I don't have unlimited data, and I have found Apple maps is much lighter on data use than Google. I have also found that even if I don't have a solid connection Apple maps seems to still be capable of giving me directions quickly,

I just recently bought a Kindle, and this has not been my experience. For whatever reason, perhaps something I am doing wrong, it is not detected as a hard drive by my system.

by bluedays 6y ago
I was much more happy with my Kobo, as others have said.

Haven't been able to use my Kindle with Linux for a while anyway. I regret buying the device.

I don't think that's true. I could conceive of an alien "prime directive" like in Star Trek. So saying that it's out of the question is definitely not something that I believe. Humans, after all, are constantly obse

This is pretty cool. I am constantly looking at current events and thinking to myself "what if aliens were watching this?". I feel like it sorta puts things in perspective for me. Seeing that this might be a possibility is sorta t

Contrast that with all of the labor required to pay for the security system and it seems that you still come out ahead

I started using this in a project of mine a few days ago and I highly recommend this library. It is super intuitive and easy.

I just gotta say I both love and hate the Neil Young archives. I hate them because the website is genuinely awful, and a chore to navigate around. However, I love that I have access to a load of stuff I haven't heard before. At any rat
