This is exciting because the current defacto standard for upgrading the graphics in a TI-99/4A is the F18A project, which is an FPGA based solution. It's really cool, but it's expensive and frequently unavailable. I am intere

Mexican dev salaries are really creeping up. $1MM MEX is no longer "pennies on the dollar" unless by pennies you mean "most of the pennies". So you want to hire top quality developers for cheap that are the US Central ti

100k isn't what it used to be. I recall the job site "TheLadders.com" opened in 2003 advertising "Only 100k+ jobs, only for 100k+ people". That's like $60,000 today.

I liked it. It was fun to watch stuff get smashed and paint explode all over the place. All that stuff gets squished into the iPad. Get it? I got it.

Does this paywalled article even contain a definition of "processed" in this context? I've never understood what that word means in the context of food. I have something in my kitchen called a "food processor". It s

Keep in mind that 150k USD can also be a terminal salary at 30 years of experience in most other places in the US. Most jobs are not FAANG or FAANG adjacent.

My friend pulled a similar prank on me a few years earlier than that. Involved different tech like BBS software, ZMODEM file transfer, and Sound Blaster command line utilities but same effect. I nearly died.

I have a new family member that's a teacher and she says she basically talks to a brick wall while every kid in class messes around on their phones. She's not allowed to do anything about it.

Chicago Public Schools spends $30,000 per student per year on some of the worst outcomes in all of education. It's clearly not sufficient to just "fund" education.

Does anyone make an EV with a user interface modeled after every car I've ever actually driven? I hated driving the Model 3. It was like an iPad on wheels. Does anything out there have normal turn signals, normal windshield wipers, a d

So I have to be ready to react to a mistake the car is making, not having any insight into the thought process of the car. I have to be a constantly vigilant backseat driver. Am I on the hook for accidents?

As a former Miata owner I always noticed that the price of a convertible roadster is inversely proportional to how often the top is down. Whenever I'd see something like a Z4 or better, the top would be up even on the absolutely most b
