Windows isn't bad as an OS. It's just like Mac in that it just needs a handful of tweaks to make it usable. The underlying system is much more cluttered though , which can get overwhelming at first. But it's done mostly be

It's interesting how Facebook's target audience is nearing retirement age, but Meta is going full steam ahead with futuristic VR headset technology. It seems like a real clash of ideas, but I could see this working out well to con

I wish gnu/linux devs would pool their efforts occasionally. We have competing flatpak and snap efforts, with neither being all that good currently. Can we agree on a standard?

3.5 hours is still pretty good. Every Dell I've ever had for work is 1.5 hours tops.

I lost faith in Rovio when they started advertising fake game footage on TikTok. They're just a clickbait company now.

The problem with Edge is that it's become loaded with so many useless features. I like Chrome because it's fairly lightweight in terms of design. If I wanted a fully loaded browser I'd use Vivaldi.

General layoffs are just never a good idea unless as the very last resort. I've personally seen the demoralizing effect it creates, triggering more people to leave the same year. For highly technical teams, you can never really repla

Why are we seeing such positive coverage of ChatGPT and such negative coverage of Bing's ChatGPT whitelabel? Is it the expectation ChatGPT being new and experimental, and Bing being established?

We used Teams for video occasionally back in 2019 before the pandemic. It was pretty unreliable, and had much better success with BlueJeans or Zoom. If there were more than a couple people on camera, Teams couldn't handle it the same w

Georgia Tech's OMSCS master's degree program used to use Udacity for all of its lecture videos. I personally liked Udacity. A couple years ago, Georgia Tech moved everything to their own platform on Canvas. I heard there were iss

I live in an apartment complex that has a full-sized grocery store in it in the US. It's actually not what you think. The grocery store and shops are on the bottom, with 5 floors of apartments on top. There's no big giant park

This is like Amazon getting leapfrogged by an upstart shipping subscription service. The cornerstone of Google is search, and everything else depends on that.

This is so ridiculously cool. I do miss shiny UI's from the 2000s. We've gotten a little bit too professional.

Every company should set a 6 month trial period on engineers turned managers. I only know one or two engineers who ended up enjoying it. It's far, far more likely to dip your toes into it with enthusiasm and realize you hate it. It&#

I've moved away from Dell laptops due to a noticeable drop in build quality for their XPS/personal laptop line. Dells are good for businesses that can pay for support plans at scale, but I wouldn't trust it Dell for a person

Outside of the context of avoiding overtime payments, job title inflation is definitely used to help attract and retain employees. A few decades ago, a director level position was a manager of managers, and usually one of the key decision

Personally, I would love to code in C++ but most projects are Python these days. I spent most of my career as a C++ generalist, along with doing a bit of graphics work.

Microsoft Teams is a good Slack-like software. The UI is much more conducive to threads by default, which is an excellent choice. Had lots of issues with video calls being unreliable pre-covid, and our company eventually abandoned it.

Foliate is excellent! I even got it working through WSL on Windows. I use it for O’Reilly books and other epub books. It’s much easier to reach books as an epub than a pdf since the text, etc adapt to your screen. The problem was historica

Mastodon is really, really promising. But there needs to be a go-to server to point everyone to. Kind of like with flatpak -> flathub, git -> github. Of course there's options, but there should be an unofficial default. It fe

Nothing's ever been ok in Florida. They do their own thing down there, and we stay far away from the crazyness. Each state is semi-independent with the federal/state separation of powers. It's good for vacation though.

Remember, running a business is a much different skill set. I think most AI developers and researchers wouldn't be interested in budgets, timelines, investor calls, etc. CEO is on the management/business track, not the technical

Anyone who's had Indian food can say that you don't need meat to have a delicious meal. European and American food uses vegetables mostly plain, so of course it's not going to be the same as meat. But try any veg curry and
