Looking at my desk right now, I have a device that uses USB-C (a Pixel 6A smartphone), one that uses micro-USB (a Surefire Sidekick flashlight), and one that uses mini-USB (a Sandisk Sansa Clip+ audio player). I have too many older pieces o

My only experience with it was in 1999, I took a distance-learning class to learn C++. The teacher would send us mail about assignments, reading that we needed to do, quizzes at the end of a unit, etc. We submitted our projects through that

lol, no. I've used LLMs to spit out example code, or to give a first-draft explanation of something that I can't find good documentation on. I don't even end up with snippets that I'd be comfortable copy-pasting into eit

They're trained on text that includes human interaction, and reactions to different tones of text. It makes sense to me that they'd react in a human-ish way as a consequence, whether or not the feelings are "real" as suc

Yes, polite, but direct. I'm just an occasional user, though. I haven't done tests back and forth to see whether I get better results by using a different tone in my messages, so I stick with what's comfortable for me persona

My first (and second) webpages, both Star Trek fanpages, were hosted on Geocities. The first was in the Area51 neighborhood, and the Stargate suburb within that. I'm not sure that I remember the "street number". The second wa

Changes due to seasons are an annual cycle. Climate is more about the longer-term (decades) weather patterns of a place, including the range of its typical seasonal differences. They aren't comparable the way that you're trying to

That was one of the cool things to see at the Living Computer Museum when I went a number of years ago. A lot of the machines they had out were more in the category of user hardware, but they had a room with older business machines, various

I think mine went into a computer that we donated to a school, or something. Around 2002 or 2003, my dad and I put together a bunch of working systems out of spare parts and donated them. Mine was the PCI version of the card. Crazy looking

I'm using a T460. The laptop it replaced was from 2016 too, so it's been smooth sailing. I just bought my brother a T480 though. He hasn't had it for long, but it seems to be working out for him. Fingers crossed that it conti

Seems like you're basically asking it to compile from an English description of "Hello World" to an optimized binary for various platforms. I guess I'd be more surprised to see it be capable of doing that, especially in

My first job in 2008 was working on a backup product that ran on a ton of different OSes and architectures (HP-UX on Itanium and PA-RISC, AIX on PowerPC, Solaris on SPARC and 32+64-bit X86, SCO Unix and Unixware, Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, Ma

When someone releases a game in a Windows version and a Linux version, the current Wine-based compatibility layers mean that the Windows one is more likely to run without issue than the native binary is. I built a Linux gaming desktop 5 yea

I remember playing with programs like this 25 years ago, printing out the results in as small of a font as the printer could handle. It was fun playing around with it to get something aesthetically pleasing.

Yep, it's a neat project, and keeps getting better. Pretty sure that I've been using it for over 20 years at this point. It was one of the things I put on my Wii, back when I was playing with homebrew on that.
