Heck. I came here to make essentially the same comment. I miss the 90s when we did XP. Another complaint I have about Scrum is its structure assumes you have a good idea of what you're trying to do. Agile was supposed to reduce the c

Maybe I'm high? I mean, I haven't used a mind-altering substance in the past several months (I'm kind of boring.) But I did have the window open and I think I smelled someone down on the sidewalk toking away. I mean, more

I came here to make the same comment. Not trying to be an ad for Amazon, but if you have Prime, it's currently available there. Well worth watching if you have any interest in this time period, submarines or Charlie Stross. ( The Ch

Oh man. The picture of that Starship-1 cabinet took me back to 1979? 1980? at the amazing arcade at the Forum 303 Mall. I didn't know Mike Jang and just assumed that each cabinet was designed by whichever team members they could scro

Yes and no. You have to do the big things right before you can do the small things right. For instance, every flight I've taken on United in the past 5 years (about 10 or so) has been delayed by a mechanical or scheduling issue. Two

I always thought we started fluoridation of water so the Soviets couldn't figure out how much uranium (and later plutonium) we were producing. UF6 is a bi-product of uranium enrichment and it's fairly straight-forward to estimate

Meh. My experience working there wasn't so much that original ideas were frowned upon as much as thinking/saying you're better than your group-mates for having them was. It's a subtle difference, but I saw plenty of no

Though obviously, something like scp evil_passwd_file terminal.shop:/etc/passwd or scp evil_authorized_keys terminal.shop:.ssh/authorized_keys is really the kind of thing you don't want. But if you can

Happy to see this didn't work scp foo.txt terminal.shop:. I was worried for a second they hadn't thought of that.

Should have mentioned my desktop is a debian 12 intel system running both Firefox and Chrome. Hitting https://zillow.com/ with Lynx is somewhat hilarious -- it just gives you a 403. I wonder if my IP got blacklisted &#x27

Wow. I clicked on this link thinking "what more can you say about hex grids that we don't already know?" But the author(s) of this guide proved me wrong. While hex grids are fairly straight-forward, I greatly appreciate th

Intel decided not to buy them after-all. And they're on... uh... round F? And they no longer have a SaaS multiple. They're still cranking out the designs, but their latest ML focused design doesn't (I think) support the ne

Oh man. I want to love this, but SiFive sort of killed me on treating fabless semiconductor companies as SaaS plays.

We've been having fun at the office with the are-you-fucking-high.com domain a co-worker bought. I think the initial idea was to have a bunch of different documents off that domain with humorous notes about the different ways people c

I had a Compaq Deskpro with an 8086. Noticeably faster than that XT. I bought it used, durt cheap when everyone else was upgrading to 286s. It worked quite well for quite some time. And the AT&T 6300 used an 8086 and the Toshiba T12

This seems cool and all, and I seldom critique web page design because... hey... I've developed some very crappy looking web pages. But... the designer of this page made it's width wider than a typical desktop browser window and

Oh yeah. I'd agree with that. Maybe the message that should be added to the beginning of the Design Patterns book is... "Some languages support different patterns than other languages. Not all patterns will be useful in all app
