I have had a pretty good life all along, but it was blips, and spits and starts. And stumbles all along. I just rode through them. I had the advantage of having no vision, no plans, when I graduated high school. All my friends headed off to

Interesting, yes, but I went to the link, and browsed the 'generated artwork' and all if it was subjectively inferior to the original that it generated from. Every single piece. So I am not sure what the 'value' in it is

Knee jerkers are going to jerk their knees. To do otherwise would require too much reading.

Small organizations use github. Really large organizations have their own git servers. I have worked on both sides of that.

What about point to point WiFi instead of a cable? WiFi 6 will handle anything that Starlink can possibly hand out. With a directional antenna, you'll have more range than you would ever want to store cable for. Then again, I would thi

I am kind of curious. Which came first? The editor or Rust? I was wondering if you were learning Rust and decided that you needed a project to reinforce your learning? Or you were designing and editor and decided you should do it in Rust?

You an me both. I used emacs until I developed persistent tendonitis down the outside of my left hand. Switched to vim, and the tendonitis resolved itself in about two months. That was back around 1990.

I agree, but schools need to get ahead of this, and plan for a later start to the school day, before this takes effect, because we already have firm data on the fact that the school day already starts to early, and permanent DST is going to

And this is exactly why Zulu exists. Operate world wide with a fixed reference.

Oh no, permanently change to the early times. No more switching. Everyone works 7AM to 4PM.

I have lived my whole adult life with black out shades and curtains. I grew up very rural and was used to a pitch black bedroom. As an adult I moved to the most densely populated state in the country, and immediately discovered black out sh

Clearly not. I shared a house with a guy that worked rotating shifts. It was hell, and made me really glad I did not do that. But I worked blue collar job the first ten years of working, so 7 to 5, and for a while 5AM to 6PM (six days a wee

Why don't we leave the clocks aligned with the Sun, so noon occurs at solar noon, and just have everybody agree to shift their work day to 7:00 to 4:00. Because on a solar basis, that is exactly what you are doing. "8 to 5" w

One more reason to pay slightly more for Windows 11 Pro (which I have). My guess is the pro version will never see this pollution.

Says the person that has never punched a clock on a blue collar job. 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

Almost all 'blue collar' work starts at 7:00 AM. It isn't about farmers. I was a farmer once, my day started at 4:30 AM. But I worked blue collar after that, my job 7:30 to 5:00, or 7:30 to 8:00 on long days. Even in my curre

I hate daylight savings time. I get up everyday at 6:00 AM, with a large segment of the population whose workday starts at 7:00 AM every day. They have no choice. And just as it was getting to be light a little at 6:00 AM, we just 'lea

I passive/aggressive the hell out of that. A 'request' with no salutation? My first reply is "What? No 'Hello'? No 'When you have a moment?' No 'How is your morning?'"

As a mechanic in a previous career, I can verify that. The only answer I ever gave was: "Sure I can look at that, bring it into the shop, we're open eight to five Monday through Friday, eight to two on Saturday, and open until eig

In this election year, Republicans will, at the very least, retake control of the House of Representatives, making Kevin McCarthy, speaker of the house. There is also an opportunity for them to take control of the Senate, returning Mitch Mc

And what is worse, if the ground is starting to thaw from below, if you get a foot or two of snow on top, it insulates the ground from the freezing air, and the ground temps will drive upward from below, turn the soil into a muddy mess. The

In Vietnam, most the US soldiers were 18-20 year old kids. The draft ended shortly before I turned 18, but I had older friends that were drafted and sent off to fight. No one I knew died, but a couple returned with life altering injuries,

Dairy farmhand outside Buffalo NY in the early 1970s. Snow over the top of recently thawed ground was the worst. Particularly if there was still a frozen layer three or four inches down. Rendered tractors unusable.

It cracks me up that this many years later, you put five people in a room to establish a git branch/merge/release strategy, and you get five very different opinions, and such strong opinions they are. Luckily, that responsibility

The git diff process and conflict process really goes off the rails at times, and I have never figured that out. Modify one line in a file, and add one new line two lines after that modification, and the git diff is two 40 line chunks with
