I'm fascinated by this discussion because of how imprecise the terms "perfect," "absolute," "pseudo-absolute," etc. are. It's doubly interesting because we're describing things that happen in our

Not a playlist, but I've always hit up Song Key Finder[1] when trying to figure out what songs might fit together for mashup-type purposes. They rank the songs by popularity within their user community. [1]: https://www.song

Those Amcrest cameras are rebranded Dahua products with the logos changed. Right down to the firmware bugs and confusing UI. They’re actually great cameras for the money, but man do I loathe their quirks sometimes.

I’m trying to remember the name of a UI control that could be backed by something like this. It was a sequence of thumbnails laid out in a row like a film strip. (For all I know, that was what it was called.)

Say what you will about the Grumman LLV, but every one of them you see on the road today is at least 30 years old, and some could be pushing 40. (The similar-looking Ford-Utilimaster FFV is ~25 this year.) As uncomfortable as it must be to

Scenario A: Picture that a quick, tiny function is needed that can load data from struct members and operate on them. The structs are tiny but there are a whole lot of them, and the values of interest always start at offsets e.g. 0, 4, and

I’ve always felt it should be split among a geographically distributed team where support hours follow the sun. It really sucks to be awake at 3am, alone, groggy and unsupported and responsible for saving the world. If the company/prod

I sometimes think about power locks. I usually drive alone, and only lock/unlock the driver door. I had no problems flipping the little lock switch, and using the key outside was no problem because it’s right next to the door handle I’
