In the '90's I worked with a bunch of ham operators in a building next to Route 95. Perhaps the most interesting call that we heard was a guy who kept switching between his wife and his girlfriend. IIRC (it was many years ago) nei

I just entered "error 422" into DDG and got a useful result so if you interpret the parent post as "use your favorite search engine" then it doesn't depend on a single website.

NIH is a powerful sentiment in many areas, not just tech.

A definitive diagnosis requires an endoscopy (at least it did a few years ago when my daughter was diagnosed) but there's a blood test which is indicative. It's probably worth it for you to get the blood test.

I started using a checklist for my motorcycle track days a few years ago when I almost forgot the key to my bike. I remembered as I was pulling out of the driveway. Now I've got a thorough checklist, and a track bike that doesn&#x2

Funny coincidence - I went to see a talk by Rich Benoit (of Rich Rebuilds fame) just the other day. Rich used this security loophole to find the key for one of the donor cars that he used to build his franken-tesla. After he swapped the e

I think that this is people finally getting fed up with corporate hypocrisy. When you quit, for example, it's expected that you give at least two week's notice, and anything less would be "unprofessional". When there&#

Funny that the headline mentions Ferrari but the article indicates that the benchmark was set down by an Alfa Romeo. I'm not a car guy but aren't Alfa's more like sedans where Ferrari's are full-on sports cars?

I agree that the piece is pretty vapid, but it's clearly labelled as an opinion piece so it's explicitly not reporting.

I was recruited by a large travel company that advises people on trips. They sent me a questionnaire beforehand and asked that I send them my answers. Being earnest and naive, I spent a couple of hours writing a bunch of short essays as a

At my company, a small startup, I recently attended a meeting whose invitation list included 4 managers and 2 workers. From that I can extrapolate that the bullshit to work ratio is 2 to 1. They're working to fix it, though: they&#x2

Good point. I'd guess that if modern phones had replaceable batteries the upgrade cycle would be even longer.

CueCat: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CueCat The idea was to give away cat-shaped barcode scanners to make it easier to scan URL's. $185M down the drain.

> In standard screening lanes, TSA agents will be stationed in front of X-ray machines to verbally assist passengers with the new screening procedures. Is "verbally assist" a new euphemism for "yell at"?

Software development involves many disciplines besides coding. You've already had some experience with automated test development, so maybe consider SQA. If you can read code and describe what it does in a natural language you migh

Yup, and it's been interesting to see the approach the different churches have taken. My town is a land grant town, so the Unitarians, Congregationalists, and Episcopalians own large tracts of land that are tied up in 999-year leases.

This sort of thing happens in the US, too, at least in the Northeast corner of it. The land that my house sits on is owned by the Unitarian Universalist church down the street, and each year I owe them $4 or the equivalent in livestock or

Tooling for injection molded plastic is very expensive so for small-volume runs like this one it's likely cheaper and quicker to get off-the-shelf plastic.
