This is a good example of the kind of thinking which may increase some specific, short-term result, such as your output of "production code", but which inhibit attaining broader knowledge and reflection. I find it interesting that

My honest opinion is that encrappification (of the world in general, and software and computer culture in particular) has some part in it. While A.I has exciting properties, there's not very much really interesting stuff going on.. Mos

They have their place. They're not perfect though. Also, I'm not perfect, I have an attachment to the physical realm, and I desire not simply to run software, but to run it on hardware, whatever that means. Oftentimes, I desire si

For all the hype, I don't think it looks very much better.. In many of the screenshots, I prefer the "no ray tracing" variant anyhow..

I think most people with this particular need would prefer a portable hotspot, like the Netgear Nighthawk M5, but they are not cheap as you've found, any 5g android phone can be used in it's place, and so it probably a better alte

Back in my day, we had a room filled with 386 and 486 machines running windows 3.11, we'd bring floppies from home and boot them to dos to play, it was great and teachers encouraged it. I guess things have changed.. For one.. Kids no l

The most interesting tech I made for myself is rather mundane, but it's one I use every day, it's the FinalKey password manager.

It's crude, surely, but it's mostly lost on the audience that's too young to understand it, and if they understand it, then they're obviously not too young? Also, what's the problem with crude adolescent humor ?

> It is still remembered with warm nostalgia today by countless middle-aged men who would never want their own children to play a game like this. What ? Why wouldn't you let your kid play Duke Nukem 3D ? It's an awesome game?

I've had strongly pronounced visual snow since I was a little kid.. Remember asking my parents "what is the thing you see when you close your eyes?" They were confused, "black?" yeah, but.. I know the color back, li

I've always felt the hardest thing is not to write the code to do the thing.. The hardest thing for me has always been to figure out what the thing to do is..

Keep in mind that flash is not simply a linear media to be played back like a movie or song, it's interactive.. What's the run-time in a strategy game ? What does rewind and fast-forward even mean in a story-driven one ?

I wrote about 10 different, and conflicting answers to this before realizing that I don't know, and that I disagree with just about any comment mentioning anything specific.. I'm also in the "general" camp, learning to l

I hate it when my browser ignores the protocol part of a link. Then again, gopher and ftp have already become broken in firefox, I guess it's only a matter of time before it's entirely unusable.

I wrote something about consciousness as the result of computation (an idea I'm sure is not new, and somewhat related to attention schema theory, even if I disagree with the author of that on determinism), it's a little bit of a m

Excellent example.. My son found out not to put his hands near the edges of drawers and doors recently, luckily it was very mild not even a bruise, but it was a shock to him that having your hand the wrong place could suddenly hurt, and I c
