my actual problem with books is that you can't change the font or font size, and you can't do dark mode. Maybe if I get cataract surgery it might not matter as much.

You know, this made me think of over-engineering. ...and that led me to believe that AI might be very capable to develop over-engineered audio equipment. Think of all the bells and whistles that could be added, that could be expressed in

I think this kind of thing is much more commonplace than you think. Never underestimate a young person and their phone. They not only use youtube or chatgpt to solve daily problems, but date, pay bills, and communicate with their friends u

I remember when I was young seeing a combine that had a radio and television in the cab. wow! Now things have wrapped back around, and nobody would want that, they want less tech and to use their phone, lol.

palo alto and santa clara don't count. They have well-run power companies, not pushing regulatory capture.

As a computer person, I hated math/physics/science because of the one-letter (greek) variable names. Of course some of that osmosizes back via lisp and APL.

Even more fun is pointers, especially when windows / macos were switching from 32-bits to 64-bits (in different ways).

I wonder if some of these headlines are impacted by the submit article character limit "12 too long" might lead to acronyms. would be nicer if they could say: Apple ignores 56 interoperability requests under the Digital Markets Ac

not modern, yet functional. I'll bet the A-10 and the ak-47 might parallel MS-DOS or the 8051.

This is a tough one because a macbook pro hooks you into the apple ecosystem and makes apple money. Let alone the macbook neo. This is like the really cheap televisions that harvest your data for profit. How can you compete/compare ag

you're implying that they could not have done better. I think they "shipped it" and washed their hands of it. But I think there should have been more iterations, until we got a little more ipv4+ and less ipv6.

Doesn't everyone? ads, microsoft account required, undefeatable telemetry, and all wrapped up in dark patterns and bad user interfaces (perennial microsoft).

Along not-that-similar lines, I used to have a lincoln kennedy penny. It came with a card full of abe lincoln vs john f kennedy coincidences. (I wonder if I still have it somewhere?) https://duckduckgo.com/?q=lincoln+kennedy

Things I don't like about amazon: - they take a huge cut, making them more expensive. I've heard some folks give 50% to amazon to sell stuff - they destroy or drive away brands, so you cannot shop for quality - "customers&qu

This is one of those things that is hard to do, but great to have done. It's hard to do with a codebase in flight with lots of people working on it. What I remember implementing this on projects was the messiness of: - incrementally g
