Cool game, but you need more data. Would be interesting to pull from current events also.

Here's a thought - the thing that will ultimately doom XML, and perhaps JSON as well, will be the extra expense XML incurs when being tokenized for LLMs.

Admirable job. Just wondering - was the impetus for this anything to do with movie or TV prop making? It would certainly be terrific for rendering real time screens of '90s era data.

I bought a Mac in April, 1984. It was one of the first 50k Apple made and the first computer I owned. Inflation adjusted it is still the most expensive personal computer I have bought with my own money. I kept it and have it sitting on a sh

I've been using textbooks to learn things for over 50 years and during my development writing code many (most?) of those times was not in the context of a classroom but in the context of needing to understand something so I could write

Personally I think the availability of rental EVs has done a lot to dampen excitement about _owning_ an EV. It certainly did for me. Driving one is a lot of fun but using it outside about 100 miles of where you park it each night is fraught

Maybe because it's not really a 'career'? More like a temp job.

It seems to me this is similar to the way poker players observe 'tells' in the other players - cataloging innocuous observations to make highly specific inferences. I know people who are naturally observant and quite good at this.

The article is a moving tribute to the power of Reggio's vision and the brilliance of Glass' score. I was living in Santa Fe in the '70s and was at that first screening, it was the world premier, at the Lensic Theater. I stil

I don't understand all the comments here fretting about charging-back. It's one of the most effective consumer protective actions we still have in cases like this. I have experience in these matters from both sides of the transact

Accomplishing such a ban would be hard very to do. I'm taking here as an engineer working with a big company and a big data system. Conceptually the idea you could have a 'blacklist' of numbers you will refuse to serve seems

I'm not a lawyer but for an amount that small the only suing anyone would be doing is in small claims court. And for that amount the 'host' would have to do it themself as the settlement isn't even attorney's fees.

Did your library know you were donating them or did you just leave them by the door? The polite and ethical thing would be to call and ask if they accept such donations first. If they don't you're saddling them with the cost of di

I have seen more 'For rent' signs in the last 3 or 4 months than I have in the last 15 years I've been living here. No idea how that translates to rent prices though.

For code reviews: White Wine. Gewurztraminer, chenin blanc, off-dry rieslings. You want something that's clean on the palette and not sugary sweet. Chardonnay is far too congenial in this session - you're not necessarily here to

The two best bits of advice I got about writing code when I started were: 1) start off by saying what you're doing and 2) the is always an 'Else'. "If you can't say in words what your method/function/class

Around here (San Francisco) the primary use of this kind of wood is for decks. It stands up very well in the weather and it's lovely. Popular is used a lot here for this process. The color changes to a rich, dark color. I've been
