Having 7 cats, they are all different. My oldest mail holds himself rigid. The youngest male - still a kitten - is a noodle of murder and destruction.

This is good to know. I had Dropbox billing through PayPal and could never cancel charges in anyway through the Dropbox site. Realized I had to disassociate PayPal and the recurring charge said “payment failed”. Finally effectively cance

Like below, I’m not the target market outside this is interesting enough for me to maybe considering for a project I’m playing with. I love the old school graphics.

Metaware was a prolific compiler company based out of Santa Cruz in the 80s/90s. Loved what they did, they also had a very interesting culture. I knew about them through cough shady cough sites when learning and writing code ba

Funny thing about Rust. I use it for a few small projects. I have advocated for it on a current work project in part because it makes sense for a few reasons. I had planned on it, an advisor (small startup) recommended it, so myself as a

I’ve got an RM2. It was super useful when I was taking some glasses and had to submit electronically. Outside that use case, I rarely have used it.

This is a hardone for me. In the family we have - 2016 Tacoma, 2015 Rav4, 2016 Mini, 2019 Sprinter RV. None have driver assist, backup cameras only, etc. I've been thinking about dashcams, but only ones where I know what will be pub

Good. He has had a major hardon over Joe Biden for years and his X posts indicate such. Lately, as other pointed out, he's been a ccp/russian/who knows shill. He did some interesting things, some not legal - others served th

That is both amazing and frightful. I like the creativity that we can find these days.

Google is going to lose money. Their search has been declining for years and the top 1/2 or so of a search is nothing but ads. So, while they may pay for deals, they will likely also lose traffic that helps pay for those deals.

Spent about a week and a half in Croatia (mainly on Vis). Food was quite flavorful. We spent the prior ten days across the Adriatic in Vieste/the Gargano. Both countries have great food. Bread, for me, wasn't as good in Croati

Depending on where you are based, maybe the companies tend to cater to a younger set of developers - few people in their 40s and 50s only have 8-10 years of experience. There are a lot of cases of ageism - it's not explicit but shows

Yes, TheFork is limited. We usually go with local recommendations. We also tend to return to the same places so know what we prefer / are looking for. Places we've eaten at in Puglia (from Tricase to Lecce to Vieste) are a mix o

Spent a couple weeks in Italy last month. Autogrills are ok, but there are actually some quite good restaurants in and outside tourist areas. We found an amazing Masseria in the Gargano that was great. Outside Venice there was a beer&#x2F

I've seen this happen. I've also seen where someone hired into a management/planning role with the ability to make offshore decisions can impact things for good or bad. A company I was at long ago, the Director of Engineeri

This is not an argument for RTO/on site work. Having been remote for more than a baker's dozen of years, remote can be successful but things like slack and teams are not a drop in replacement for "on site" either. That

Poor testing. But we also need to stop CISOs, etc doing "checkbox compliance" and installing every 3rd party thing on employee laptops. My prior employer, there were literally 13 things installed for "laptop security"

Estonia’s old city is a treat to explore. Last time I was there was several years back during the winter and it was -30c or so out. Didn’t stop some drunk Brits from having a good time.

This would probably be no different if someone like Salesforce had a breach and a large customer of theirs being impacted. There are large companies using SaaS services for a chunks of their back office stuff.

Apple’s issues with the EU/etc have nothing to do with it. Apple has a hard core base market. That said, the Vision Pro/headset market is small and Apple is only really going to get the Apple fanboy portion of that.

A comment I made reminded me of this page. Dan Bernstein who developed the Salsa20 and Chacha family of ciphers had a pseudo assembly that compiled into target architectures/instruction sets. It was interesting noting the variations.

Apparently my memory is false, I thought originally the salsa20 variants and machine code were on cryp.to in my memory, but Dan Berstein's site is - https://cr.yp.to/ While at a startup when we were looking at data at

"build for scale", it really depends what needs to scale and what is "scale". Nearly every interview, every company these days thinks they need google or such level scaling. Nearly all do not.
