As explained to me by a sleep doctor, sometimes people do feel as if they didn't sleep after a nap, but still feel rested. We often don't remember stage 1 or 2 sleep but that doesn't mean we didn't sleep. So yes, a nap i

With the mention of the parser's performance, I am reminded of Rich Kilmer's 2004 RubyConf presentation. Rich used Ruby to test reliability of a distributed system with hundreds of Java VMs. Some of the serialized data was store

Plain glass jars can break if dropped (or thrown) off the table. If I'm sure a jar is borosilicate then I might consider letting my child drink from it, otherwise it's not worth the risk.

I wonder how feasible it would be to train an ai model to correct scanned pages, to avoid having to debind the magazines.

I thought it was pretty widely believed before the snowden leaks that the US (and in particular the NSA) did warrantless surveillance of US citizens. What was lacking was credible evidence; anyone who claimed it was widespread before snowd

That makes sense if it's a construction used in the UK that's starting to be adopted elsewhere. I've been seeing it in US media (NPR, USA Today, Newsweek, to name a few).

What is it with using the word "boss" in headlines recently? It comes across to me as negative, perhaps because it makes me think of "crime boss". Is that the intent or am I off base?

I can understand the confusion. I thought I could remember more technology companies with names ending in "com" (or "comm"), but all that come to mind are 3Com (now Cisco) and Worldcom (MCI). Others I can find are: Mic

Most recipe blogs these days include pictures of the dish as it is being prepared. I think it would be hard to generate those pictures without actually cooking the dish (though as AI image generation improves that will change).

I remember writing a few obj loaders in the 90s. Eventually I abandoned it for md2/md3 (but I don't remember why).

Sigh. I guess this means I can no longer keep my root image on a 1.44MB floppy and a separate /usr on an iomega Zip drive.

Interesting - does it fit that automatically or is there a manual step?

For many small files, compressing first will compress worse, because each file has its own dictionary; compressing last means you can take advantage of similarities in files to improve compression ratio. Compressing first can also be slower

I want to disagree, but I think you are right. Java and Flash were the only alternatives to javascript that ever gained a foothold, and both of them were second class citizens. Circa 2001 I tried to use Java to interact with the DOM and r

Maybe this has changed, but last time I looked at futexes there was no syscall for locking (assuming no contention), but unlocking always made a syscall. This was many years ago so it could be different now.

I like to watch the credits, even for TV shows I'm watching serially. For me it's like getting that last bite of dessert before the end of a meal, plus I get to stretch my legs, check email, go to the bathroom, etc. before the ne

As they say, what's old is new. A lot of these problems I remember having with VHS. Tapes would rewind too slowly, or they would rewind too fast and I would overshoot. Early IR remotes had to be aimed carefully, so pausing took a fe

Don't forget juno! (though that one at least I legitimately chide people for using, because I have family members whose devices got infected because juno failed to filter out malicious emails appearing to come from personal contacts).

Ruby comes to mind - matz wrote it in 1995, but it wasn't until the pickaxe book came out in 2001 that it gained any popularity outside Japan. And it wasn't until Rails came out 3 years later that it really took off. That's

I think I also don't understand signals. I expected something like signals/slots but this is something different. I read the example a few times to see if I was missing something, but I don't understand how this idiom fits in
