You can regulate humidity cheaper than temperature.

LG sells several 48" OLED TVs. To get the equivalent of 30" distance to a 27" monitor (about 48 degrees FOV), you need to be about 4.5 feet away from a 48" screen. I just mounted mine to the wall, and the back of the de

I have a 49" curved Samsung 8500. It isn't the newest technology anymore. When a curved 42"-50" 16:9 OLED comes out, I'll be the first in line.

I love these weird machines. I'll give an example of another. The Texas Instruments' C40 was a DSP made in the late 90's. It had 32-bit words, but inefficient byte manipulation. The compiler/ABI writer's solution

The solution is simple: use the “sexy af” piece of art in your office. I’ve used one for 4 years. The only compromise is I have to power it on/off by remote.

From the filesystem's perspective looking at storage, the flush does indeed preserve the semantics. It is just that you can't rely on the contents of anything if the power goes out.

Some folks need to wake up a little bit to work out. What you do first isn't necessarily your highest priority.

Compare that to the ethical implications of megacorporations expecting private individuals to work for free or peanuts. A rational individual should look at bug bounties and exploit brokers and use the highest bidder. I'm a security pr

There doesn’t seem to be any financial right to privacy. It isn’t a right.

I had great success with SikuliX about a decade ago in automating a native UI. It worked quite well, though it was processor intensive. The UI for scripting was well done too. The nice thing about using CV is that the UI can change somewha

Factorio is just different enough from programming that it doesn’t trigger that reflex for me. It is more about physical layout and queuing than programming.

Gas stoves leak even when not cooking. Unless you leave the vent on, it still contributes to indoor pollution.

I preferred Teams over Slack. Teams has a much better Giphy integration. Since distributing memes is the most productive thing you can do with such a chat platform, Giphy is a must.

This is a great argument for Monero. It is much easier to launder money on a privacy-oriented blockchain.

Part of the problem is the hollowing-out of the middle class diversity of job positions. It used to be that any old college degree would work to get into corporate America. These days, it is tough to get your foot in the door with a busin

There's a "Papers Please"-type subtext in Factorio, in that you're subtly induced to do uncomfortable things. One must alter the ecosystem significantly to survive and escape the planet. It speaks to the fundamental nat

The more aggressive modes, such as Death World, benefit much more from controlling pollution more rigorously.

That’s not problematic. That’s literally the value add.

That’s a great categorization. I’ve accepted a job through a very good internal recruiter once in 2015. I can distinguish between a 2 and a 3 in a 5 minute phone call. I don’t understand all the hate about recruiters. I cut off the bad one

That just happened to me. I left a 2 liter in the freezer. I then transferred it to the fridge, thinking the gradual temperature change would be fine. I woke to a strange sound. The bottle had blown the fridge door open, a large gash down

Yes, there are many first generation immigrants in the US with poor grasp of English. There are many free ESOL resources; regardless, English is hard.

Last year, I had a several months bout with painful GI issues. I couldn’t be far from a bathroom, and I had stomach pain when I wasn’t full. The GI doctor didn’t find anything wrong. I figured it must be something in my diet. I tried eli

I think there's more than just ageism involved as to why there aren't more older folks in tech. I think a major reason is simple demographics. There weren't a lot of folks graduating with CS degrees in the 90's, and qui

I have a great deal of experience in running very large memory-mapped databases using LMDB. The default Linux settings dealing with memory mapped files are pretty horrible. The observed poor performance is directly related to not configuri

I used a subset of ASN.1 for a project, and it worked quite well. ASN.1 versioning in particular is a work of art.

I'm with you. In my professional career, I've had 2 bosses that never went to college. Never been an issue.

As someone that has tried to do it myself, and then hired a couple recruiters, that money is well justified. Think of all the engineers that hate recruiters. A recruiter has to talk to those folks every day.
