The large Toyota dealership I was last at offered a simple interest loan. I thought this must have been an unfortunate misuse of the word “simple” in a loan context, but I pressed him further and he definitely meant “simple interest” as i

It's ok, but seems to be a bit too complex for what it does. It was pretty janky running it locally (pegged the CPU), and now that we have it in MWAA we've got several support issues on it with AWS for unkillable task instances an

I’m stoked for this. Seeing a car launched into space is kinda meh, but planetary probes like Voyager, Cassini/Huygens and telescopes like Hubble, Chandra, LIGO and now Webb is where the truly grand, awe inspiring stuff is.

When I was a kid, I recall writing a very simple (think read a line, send a line, no select() so blocked unless the right order for read/send line operations took place). It was in C on Linux. Having something appear on another compute

I have not looked at Elixir. It is possible for the user to extend its syntax?

I love how a library just adds in a JSON literal syntax to the language and it's not even worth noting.

I like this web page. It is very readable. I wish more pages had this splendor. Perhaps it can be web3.

I’m pretty sure you’re about to be fired. You should give your notice as soon as possible and immediately look for a new position. Getting fired should normally not come as a surprise to you. If it does you’d have to be completely clueless,

I have the 22kW model which I believe is air cooled. Living under Texas’ “freedom grid”. I would say it’s kind of louder than I’d like, probably like standing right next to my Tacoma, but when the power goes out it sounds like sweet angels

I recall the Fun Way series book fondly. As a kid, I did the kits over and over (even unsoldering the PCB kits from the later books after soldering them together). I probably breathed in too much leaded solder vapors, but it’s what put me o
