Welcome to a big company, enjoy your stay, and the feeling of uselessness. To be honest, that sounds pretty normal to me.. It's an entirely different beast.. And the organization is so large and complex that you're no longer goin

okay, why can't you just plug it in /etc/crontab ? If you're just scraping, you don't even need a public ip, and since you're writing this, I assume you own a PC..

Yes. For all the reasons. I want to own stuff, I want my stuff to be mine, forever, to do with as I please. I want physical things to mess about with, I want to be able to experience things as I did when I first got them. We're in a cu

Actually, video comes from "to see" and "to hear" so it's only video when it has sound.. The word implies nothing about the medium.. It's a moving picture camera that uses film as the recording medium.

QT5.. It's so well documented, and just a pleasure to work in. I'm almost never using it though.. I mostly work with the Node API, and some of the larger libraries in the infrastructure, it's fairly okay too.

HOAs are one of the weirdest things I've learnt about the USA.. Land of the free, hates tax, loves guns, because freedom.. But the freedom to decide what color your fence is ? Nah, that doesn't matter ?

As a customer in that bank; I was compelled to ask chatgpt to write a letter for me, complaining that they never let me in on the (supposedly) profitable deals.. Me: My bank was laundering money, I was not invited to participate. Write a co

What I hear you say is that some publicly available third-party libraries written for use with JS are changing very often, and introduce incompatibilities and breaking changes. And you write that some publicly available third-party librarie

This is an article about ecosystems and package managers, not particularly about JavsScript, which is a scripting language around which one can chose to participate in ecosystems and use package managers. The distinction is not as subtle as

Big tech.. You just need to know someone there to get your stuff fixed.. Only really a problem for the other 99.999999% of the people on the planet :)

I'd rather see it unused and not trying to load things from disk. Hundreds of megabytes of data in memory (or the need to reference this much) is a symptom that stuff's rotting.. The framebuffers should be the largest allocation r

The current version available at https://chat.openai.com/chat seems neutered to the point of being both less useful and less interesting than just searching google.

That's excellent! Variable assignment, strings, function calls, and two layers of humor! I'm interested as to what age she was when she figured this out? I'd think maybe a 10 year old ? But one steeped in tech from the start

IIRC, in brave new world, they hacked people at the zygote stage, making the workers dumber by adding ethanol or something like that? :)

I agree with your examples, though they cannot be said.. Hopefully in a saner future, it becomes possible to have a debate about that again.

My main concern is how to induce specifics in people and start profiting from it :D Wouldn't it just be wonderfully dystopic if we could induce ticks in people that made them clean the streets and do the grunt work? :D

That makes a lot of sense.. I use a q-tip at least weekly, I've always produced a lot of wax, and keeping it in check is very important for my well-being (and ability to hear well). I also own an endoscope camera that I use to check my

The intuition was probably that the risks from smoking were higher than that of covid.. For starters, not everyone is going to catch covid, but everyone taking up "preventive" smoking is going to become a smoker and be included in

I'm sure the maker of a remark holds fairly exclusive privilege to declare it off the cuff or not, mostly that is done as an excuse for when the remark was later refuted or otherwise got them into trouble.. My remark was well-prepared,

Such moral wording you've got there.. "faith", "spirit", "Belief".. Mastodon is doing fairly fine, but it does have its problems. More will be discovered along the way.

Ah.. Then I'll answer the question here.. It depends.. If things continue as they are now, then yes. If something goes south, like, place of work gets worse or I'm fired.. Then no. Why yes? Because why not? I like my job, salary,

lol, I bought the current house we're living in for under $100k cash, maybe move somewhere reasonable instead of insisting on living in the most expensive place possible?
