Nice, I recommend having them take a class to be effective. I recommend this short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWFFaKxsz_s The first 3 minutes and 20 seconds might be a bit tough, but the useful for most people s

Oh sure set the high bar ... now I need to consider this. Couldn't be something like 50 bucks ... Of course looking back my dad was giving us money for a number of years and with inflation ... arg I hate giving it away :-)

It is an opinion. Interestingly because of that opinion I am actually looking at the book. At least reading the Wiki summary.

I like the classic as it provides actionable information. Although knowing the date is nice, especially to indicate an application is dead end. But I rarely need that. When I first download it, and when I wonder ... hmm is this product ev

IMHO it is all part of the documentation to enable people to up ramp. What is missing from most documentation is simple Use Case. You need a video / tutorial that is JUST 'Wheres the starting point' Then one addressing what y

Ok I will give you a simple method to separate the 2 groups of nerds and hustlers. Now this is not fool proof, but is good for about 80% of the time. If they approach you - Hustler. If you HAVE to start the conversation - Nerd - you might

This seems like a very obvious solution. But of course I am ignorant on electricity generation and or the physics involved. I am hopeful someone will enlighten us.

To me 'Legacy code' means the person who wrote it (or most of it) is not fixing / changing it. It implies you cannot ask them WTF is this. Or more critically Why did you do this? Which of course is critical to avoid the &#x

I am so glad you asked that. The fear greed index appears to be the same value as the CNN one. The CNN one has a link to explain it. https://www.cnn.com/markets/fear-and-greed Being the pessimist I am I wonder when a

As a developer, my first step was to take an online class on how to prompt for chat gpt et el. My second class is on to go agentic AI (calling AI from a program). I recently attended a short presentation on RAG (ask Chat GPT). This filled

Question: what did you teach? Can you teach tech? Best answer I have, find some volunteer work that supports what you want to do. Do it for 6 months, add to resume. Possibly find an open source project to add to. Be sure to professional

Home use robot weed killer / puller. Does not need to be fast, but does should not need manual moving for each square foot. Although, if it was fast, I could drive it like a lawn mower speed that (even as slow as 1/4 pace) would

OMG I had no idea. Thanks will look into this. Not like I can do anything. But I feel bad for the people suffering.

I like that, because you have framed when to expect an answer. In addition, you need to write down the question, and to enforce your commitment, read it back to confirm. At the least if you do not read it back, email them what you think th

I kind of like the Perixx Periboard-512B. With real grown up keys.

The Perixx I have is the periduo 505. I find the chick-let style keys annoying. I am often hitting the wrong keys. As opposed to before hitting the wrong keys occasionally. Easy to be off a whole row or left and right.

Mine died a few years ago. I replaced it with one from 'perixx' but I kind of hate it. Not enough to get something else, because I have not found a better answer. I am excited to see if someone has a solution for you.

For honest reviews, there are a lot of issues. Back in the day PC Magazine used to have reviews that were not very honest. They would be sent product to test, that was clearly curated by the vendor to be the best of the best. Think PC co

If your objective is to get a gentile introduction to assembly, with no practical use: PDP-11 (on a simulator) or Motorola 68K. Both are very simple and straight forward. As opposed to many others that seem to live on confusion. To aid in
