   LOL the place I work now has some passwords in the password manager that say "call the eng director for the 2fa" because the service only uses SMS 2FA. Like google voice or similar doesnt exist.

    I have been building a custom PDF generator for my Remarkable tablet using jsPDF. Something that has surprised me is how hard it is to keep the file size small with tools like this. Its fun and fast to generate things but when you get to 10

    There was a website where you entered little snippets of code IIRC to adjust how a cube moves with friction and then the examples move on to a car moving up a ramp. It was a very sneaky and intuitive way to learn about PID controllers. I th

    I am not claiming it was standard, only that it was used. You can hear it in old WWII footage.

    I bought an analog fridge thermometer and an alarming digital thermometer. The defrost cycle would set the alarm off but the analog thermometer would not move above ~40F So once it alarmed I watched the analog thermometer go up above 45F an

    I just replaced our samsung fridge after catching it being over 45F for over 24 hours for the second time in six months. Absolutely junk and dangerous. Could have made us sick if we hadn't paid attention to it.

    Not sure that is the best comparison because it removes the mechanical need for leverage, even with power steering. Now that we have more electric steer by wire... maybe.

    Random aside: I looked up an Acela ticket this morning. $1000 for a first class ticket from DC to BOS. 6.5 hours. Same flight first class with Delta this week is $850. Also 6 hours with layover. Blows my mind first class rail travel is as m

    I dream of a world where we have Go or something similar with the same / similar UX of Jupyter Notebooks. I keep an eye on Julia but I never make the leap to use it and still pickup Python (or Go).

    I picked up Go in 2012 as a Python dev in need to doing some bit twiddling over the wire for Modbus. I never shipped that code but it blew my mind how easy it was to just twiddle those bits and bytes and it just worked. A decade later and a
