Question: the article cites a lady who was frustrated with AT&T customer service - she’s from Illinois. How do newspapers find anecdotal stories like this? I mean this could have been anyone, anywhere - we all have these sorts of frustr

I just ate dinner with the in-laws and can attest to the fact that most Americans refer to the utensil with prongs at the end: a fork.

Or alternatively, I'd like to see variations like: "Git repo as a database"; i.e. sqlite backed git. There are a whole class of problems here that I have little or no experience with, but seemingly could be incredibly impactf

I loved the idea of Montessori, and it’s an issue I raised in open discussion at one of the school’s group chats. Basically, in principle it’s great. Children drive themselves and follow what they’re passionate about (with a teacher’s encou

In San Diego, there is a camp called Outpost Summer Camp that is exactly this. This has also made me post-Montessori. I’ve left the faith, but we’ve found the forest.

Well when the VPN disconnected on the old Mac version, apparently it continue to let traffic through. I think they’ve corrected that now.

I’ll say what I’ve said before: making a VPN purchase is non-trivial. The best I’ve been able to do was use Mozilla as a proxy (because I trust ‘em), and thus bought ProtonVPN (which admittedly has been imperfect).

I know you’re downvoted, but I agree with this 100%. Technical folk usually are fascinating people but more often than not (in my experience) are introverted. It’s a shame, because as an extroverted passionate engineer, it’s amazing to see,

I’ve always thought it was disgusting that I’m raising / lowering my hands into a narrow slot where I’m bound to touch the sides - sides where others (who might’ve washed their hands less well) have also been depositing a germ factory.

Aw man, this looks even cooler! I fear that the momentum has swayed to Pock though.

The part I worked on was monitoring the effects of the sun on satellite communication (disruption of the ionosphere - called scintillation). This was about a decade ago, but I used an FPGA and GNU Radio which was really quite cool! Especial

If the argument is that a degree is an investment (I.e. future payout >> upfront cost), then we must think of the opportunity cost in not investing in citizens, but rather slotting in foreign students. This is why the government subsi

I finally took my 2018 MBP in and they replaced the upper case (I guess keyboard, touchbar, and more?) to fix the keyboard issue. The work took about 2 days (drop-off, return). But I ended up buying a keyboard cover for it because the risk

The key to my comment was the last clause “at any kind of scale”. If the community living there can’t support the costs of environmental maintenance, at a certain point it becomes like a superfund site: people will need to move to higher gr
