Seinfeld is one of the greatest shows of all time. You’d seriously be depriving yourself by not watching it.

Are the rings only that prominent because of infrared? Would they look like that in visible light if you were close enough? Those look like they could compete with Saturn.

Millenials are like 40 now. When do they finally get the promotion and salary?

2005 was the year I noticed it was becoming irrelevant. I had traveled thousands of miles to stand in line to be the first to see new games, and while standing in those lines, friends back home would text me talking about the trailer they j

Someone should tell the stores that lock absolutely everything up that they don't need to do that anymore then. That would be really appreciated.

Oh cool. So the ADA doesn't apply to this industry huh.

Speed matters. So what if you just can't be fast? What if you have dyslexia? Then what are you supposed to do?

I’m wondering if this is something different, or if it’s a more intense level of the other thing. I’m able to pop my ears without any apparent tensioning of my jaw or a yawn reflex. But I can do it while also making the rushing sound or not

Interesting. I can “play my eardrums”, which I describe as the ability to consciously control something in my ears that causes a loud fluttering, ringing sound that is something like wind entering my ear canals combined with a bell. After s

One of my favorite vintage PCs is my PS/2 Model 30, and I had no idea it was available in a dual floppy configuration! It seems way too late to have been sold that way, but yup, checks out, that was the bare-bones configuration.

I wonder how many of the OpenAI employees are part of the "Effective Accelerationism" movement (often styled e/acc on X/Twitter). These people seem to think safety concerns get in the way of progress toward a utopian AGI

If you're fully entrenched in the Apple ecosystem, Keychain is the most seamless option. I don't use its "strong password" recommendation system, however, since it breaks on half the signup flows I try it on, sometimes b

The battery in my 2017 work-supplied MBP exploded, and they replaced it with a 2019, which has even slower single core performance. In this economy we're not buying any new machines, just stockpiling old ones from layoffs as reserves.

As someone who missed the boat on this, is learning about this just for historical purposes now, or is there still relevance to future employment? I just imagine the OpenAI eats everyone's lunch in regards to anything AI related, am I

This will never matter in, say, a site configuration dashboard where a set of options is generated quadratically from a couple small sets of data. There are some features that will never be used at any significant scale.

If people knew that people like you existed, they’d be terrified of ever asking for help on anything.

We won't be able to consider it until the start of the next fiscal year. Oh, we've been having some financial difficulties, maybe next year. Oh, you're laid off.

My career has been one long carrot and stick of promised promotions that never materialize, so this threat would have no effect on me.

I was strongly preferring to stay in battery mode. The car is advertised with a strong implication that it works this way. If it's not going to work that way, it's just a hybrid with a few configuration tweaks.

I rented a PHEV Chrysler Pacifica and I was disappointed that whenever it thought I was giving it too much throttle, it would kick itself out of EV mode and start the engine. There was no way to force it to use only the battery until deplet

It absolutely might be too late for a career change. If you're paid well, and have come to rely on your income, staying put is likely your only realistic option.

I recently got my IBM PS/2 286 on my home internet via an old Ethernet card and the mTCP software suite for MS-DOS. There’s something really special about telnetting into BBSes on hardware of this era.

When I see these TTL CPUs made from very few chips they leave me scratching my head. If it was this easy to build a fast 8 bit computer with a small number of the 7400-series logic chips that were available at the time, why was everyone so

The robots we've sent thus far seem far more limited than what humans could do with their own hands and standard tools and lab equipment. We wait decades to maybe get a tiny sample of a rock.

I have 4 tickets in this 2 week sprint. I lose a couple of productive days for scrum ceremonies and meetings. The last 2 or 3 days must be spent scrambling for code reviews and QA sign off. With the time that’s left I can make the software

In the first season I thought "Oh, this company is supposed to be Compaq?" but then realized Compaq was one of many companies that all got the exact same idea at the exact same time. After that realization I saw the characters and

On multiple occasions I have responded to a "perfect fit" type message on a tech stack mismatch, only to have it lead to a phone screen where everyone is confused why we're talking.

Nearly all the threads are 0 comments. I don’t think moderation is the problem. It really is hard to build an audience.

The Disney clip may not have any relevance to the AI content issues of the day, but it’s bad. Incredibly bad. Of course you would use CGI to create thousands of soldiers. But 5 extras in a gymnasium? That saved them what, $500? The more unn
