I had two floppies: MSDos & QModem. With those two I could use BBS's to get everything else.

At least in the implementation I wrote the default way to provide the body was a string... which has a length. For binary data I believe the API could accept either a std::vector<uint8_t> (which has a size) or a pointer and a size. If

Pet Peeve Time: Suburban neighborhoods these days typically only have a few entrances and exits... The effect of this is that unless you live in that neighborhood you won't enter it... This makes the streets quieter because you don&#x2

I lived in Fresno for 15 years. I spent north of $400 bucks a month on AC in the summertime (starts in June and goes till early November). I lived in a new home with modern insulation. I now live in NY and I have a basement. It's gener

I wonder if this guy thinks video GOPs should all be hundreds of frames long because P frames are so much smaller than I frames and since in his world we NEVER use an unreliable network you might as well.

Damn, I remember finding POVray on BBS's in the pre internet days. So cool that they have kept it going all this time.

It seems to me that while passing a leetcode question shows that you might know a thing or two, not passing one doesn't really show the opposite. You could be the smartest / greatest coder ever and you just got a really unlucky qu

Yeah, that's much better.

This is fascinating. I had another experience that I think sheds light on some of this. One day I was in my office and the lights were off. I turned around and looked at the dark shape on top of my coworkers desk. For a few seconds I stared

When I was a kid I had a tv where the quality of the picture noticeably improved when you touched the antenna... and I had recently heard that humans were mostly water... So I grabbed a glass of water and set it on top of the tv near the an

I always think discussions like this should start with the following: A database with no indexes is slow. Finding a particular row will require a linear search. Adding an index on a column means that your optimizing finding rows by the valu

I think it's good to be concerned and cautious but I also think you are being a bit extreme here.

Not that the opinion of some random on the internet means anything, BUT.... I think the neocortex for the most part lets other parts of the brain control themselves... and really only has high level access. I think emotions are one of these

When I am starting a new project I have learned to identify the unknowns. "I don't know how to do X, Y and Z." Before I begin working on the real solutions for X, Y & Z I start by making a test program that does X. It&#x2

My wife has Diabetes and recently switched to a CGM. She also saw the insanely inaccurate results.... BUT it improves. After a few hours the numbers get more accurate as it adapts to you. Now she does a thing where she overlaps the old sens

The way that I have avoided burnout for all these years is working on my own projects, and building them exactly the way I want to. This gives me the strength to grind through the shitty work I am paid to do.

Never heard such a good argument for why we should all be replaced by AI.

I have been a paid software engineer for about 30 years. 10 to 15 years in I learned to love computer science, but for the first huge portion of my career what motivated me was making things. Demos, Games, etc... Maybe the key is to start b

I bet Alphabet has calculated that of all of the rides a typical ridesharing service offers only a subset is currently serviceable by autonomous vehicles. A deal (or buying) Uber allows them to offer the service on only the rides they are c

The Yuan becoming the world reserve currency would mean the Yuan had significant value outside of China... which would mean Chinese citizens could leave the country with their wealth, and China doesn't want that. What they want is the

You know, it was probably super smart not showing Emperor Shaddam IV in the first film. The audience has enough to learn and see that is mandatory it was probably wise leaving out some things that weren't mandatory for the first film.

A single binary is nice... Perhaps second place is using the rpath origin linker option to create a relocatable application.

You have had the exact opposite experience of me. Everything I have wanted to work has worked.

This cartoon misled me until I realized that there is no observation without touching. Even "seeing" a particle implies that you bounced a photon off of it... and since we're talking about observing individual particles it ma

One thing to consider: Even if you prefer solar, you still need to initially make those solar panels and that is an energy intensive process. I think we're still probably 20 years away from commercialization of this, but I still think
