On the other hand, I have Linux releases from GOG which no longer run (sadly, I cannot remember the specific example where I first encountered this). It is expecting some specific version of library X. Theoretically, I could run it if I boo

It is always interesting to me in science fiction how humans are able to repair/reverse-engineer ancient technology from aliens or pre-downfall humanity. If you stumbled across a non-encrypted WinXP hard drive, how would you possibly r

Practical questions abound. Do you wash your hands after peeing on them? Do you pat dry? Towel dry? How do you close up your pants without spreading a non-negligible amount of urine onto your pants? Would you want to pee on your hands every

That entire list is bananas. Not one mention of PowerAutomate or BI? Sticking within the typical Microsoft stranglehold offers a fair amount of tooling with multiple integration points. They come bundled with everything else in a corporate

What is most upsetting is that I have trouble biochemically believing there could be anything at all on which to act. MSG = mono sodium glutamate meaning one sodium ion (thing in table salt) + gluatamic acid (1 of the 20 standard amino acid

They sell servers, what does not make sense about it? You can argue about the specific niche (big enough to run their own hardware, too small to design their own), but companies need somewhere to do compute. If nothing else, I love their ap

Oh no doubt, things are always improving. While I have not yet used it, happy for the recent json enhancements (personally, I would always prenormalize to standard JSON instead of naively ingesting JSON5). Datetime is definitely one of my S

How much of that is owing to anything special about the IC vs manufacturing technology of the day? Legacy chip designs built on older nodes are probably more robust just due to physically bigger wires and components. Wikipedia lists a 1987

I am amused by the number written by Dr. Hipp. I appreciate his desire to keep core small and stable, but some of these would be great to get promoted into the base package. News to me, there is a Python package[0], sqlean-py, which makes i

Similar to why I like unit-testing. Writing code in a testable way usually straightens out what would have been a thornier first-pass interface. Even if the test never fails, it made me be explicit about my assumptions.

I cannot believe he did the wiring "by hand". Loved the bug example he highlighted, which I hope is something he can reference later in life, "What's the most difficult bug you ever fixed?"
