   My wife bought two. I couldn't convince her otherwise. They are a marketing company masquerading as a vacuum company, and she fell for it. They cost about 500% of the other vacuums they are comparable to. I saw the headline about Dy

   Moderators on HN decide all the time whether a post should be deleted or not. Why is this a problem if it's on Facebook or Twitter? I don't see why anybody even the president deserves a private platform. If he doesn't wan

   I've done this before [1], many years ago. At the time, I had never heard of setjmp or longjmp. I understood task switching as 'push all registers onto the stack, change stacks, pop all registers off the stack', and so that

   The idea of the cloud is to only pay for what you use. Your on-premise server is idle 99% of the time so why are you paying for a full server? If that's not true, it turns out it's quite expensive to run things in the cloud. If y

    I removed any mention of Oracle from my resume. I have a lot of experience with it, but I never want to work with it again.

    I give up and tell them I can't send a fax where I'm from. When they ask where I'm from, I tell them I'm from the year 2020.

    What production software are you trying? I bought a seinberg audio interface that came with cubase ai, so I've been playing with that. Cubase has come a long way - I remember when it was new software. Even before Cubase I remember pl

    I recall Slackware had something like this, where you could e.g. install the 'D' series if you were a software developer. Other than how the software is used (the workflow), how is this anymore than a single apt install command? T

    I have photic sneeze reflex, hypnic jerk, and TIL exploding head syndrome. I associate hypnic jerk with a sensation of falling, whereas exploding head syndrome is a loud bang and bright flash. They both make you jump. I didn't know
