Minidisc has always been my fav music media. I had a Sony 4x CD and MD deck, so could copy friend's CDs onto minidisc at 4x speed, which was pretty impressive in the late 90s/2000. Came with title text, no skipping, tiny size, no

Even within humans it’s socially unacceptable to walk up to people you don’t know you are eating and strike up conversation, eg in a restaurant. Disturbing eating is a pretty broad no-no across the animal kingdom. Then again, if the orca wa

I like the idea of a todo list that comes with a built in auto-delete. You either do your to dos, or it auto-deletes them for you. No worry about it getting full, but also some pressure to actually get them done or they'll be wiped. An

Rather than pure leetcode in interviews, I like really simple take home activities. I know take-home’s aren’t well liked either. But, make it really simple and provide a fit repo to commit into. Provide the marking rubric. Then you actually

Typically not a literal pcap. Not just wireshsrk running persistently everywhere. There are systems you can buy (eg by Pico) that you mirror all traffic to and they store it, index it, and have pre-configured parsers for a lot of protocols

I’ve always been partial for Friday night through Friday night. You start off over the weekend, when you have energy and can survive the two days alone. Ideally no Friday releases so the transition is calm, but as the writer says the batche

This really isn't just Siri though. My car's built in nav tried to direct me to Mexico (I'm in CT), rather than a restaurant one town over. Turns out it had the restaurant name backwards too. Barn Thai, rather than Thai Barn.
