The line: "Usually, the prose is infused with arcane terminology and learned jargon, creating an aura of scholarly profundity. We can call this phenomenon obscurantist pseudophilosophy." struck me as especially hilarious in contex

I went through a similar phase, but I solved it with audio books. You might want to give it a try.

I would have expected them to have changed the number if that were the case.

Heh, The TS1000 was also my intro to programming. I still have the manual that came with it, which taught basic programming as well as explaining how the internals were laid out. I miss having good manuals.

You're in luck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zCSSd8QCVk It's actually pretty great. For all the wrong reasons, but that doesn't detract from its greatness.

"If they are too high I'm usually upfront that at that rate they'd be flat compensation wise for a number of years" I've heard that once before and it always puzzled me. Basically you're telling the candidate t

Yeah, it just that with the use case I was exposed to (payment processing) it seemed utterly pointless and overly complex when compared to the rest API. I don't want to query. I want to submit a transaction for processing dammit. Again

I'll be honest. I hate GraphQL. It probably makes sense in a world where everyone uses graphQL, but to me it felt like having to learn yet another query language to do what to me seems straightforward using a simple REST api. I may als

Once, while in the military on a three day exercise with little/no sleep I fell asleep while running in formation (returning from an exercise). I woke up three hours later when the instructors drug us out of our tents. I won't swe

I used noise removal in Audacity to take care of tape hiss in some old recordings of my step dad that I digitized and cleaned up for my mom. This was all public speaking, so the noise removal worked pretty well. Not sure if it would be appr

That's really interesting. My team's stack is the same except we use Azure SQl server instead of SQLite. I'd love to understand why you chose that. Feel free to hit my up at the address in my profile if you don't want to

None at all, sorry. I haven't had to deal directly with farming/ranching in 30 years. :-) I just grew up in the middle of nowhere rural Tennessee and I used to run a website for farmers. My suggestion would to talk to the folks at

There are easy connect PTO couplers. Of course you have to buy (and attach) adapters for all your gear, but it might be worth it to you.

That was the plan. Got to get the 220v run done first though. :-) Or find a cheap generator that will do 220.

Yeah. I HAVE done major auto repair in an apartment complexes parking lot, but a lot of buildings do not tolerate that sort of thing. I have also done an oil change in the parking lot of a local auto parts store, and they were totally cool

Not too late to teach yourself those skills! I didn't start getting into auto-mechanics until I was well past college. Planning on buying a cheap welder soon and teaching myself how to weld in the next 6 months (at age 50).

Fortunately, it is possible (even if our politicians can't do it) to completely disagree with someone and NOT be an asshole. You can argue AND still be respectful and polite to the person you are arguing with. You can vehemently disagr

This is super useful. I have a daughter who is a piano performance major and I spent ages getting a working two camera set up for her. I wish I had seen this then (or better thought of it myself). I expect her university will end up going f

Not that your wife can do anything about it, but... My daughter has been doing online school for two years now with a school system that has been online only for about 10 years. Their hack was to give the kids one assignment per day. A miss

I'm probably from an older generation than you (GenX), but the wife and I have four kids and we decided a long time ago that we didn't want them to grow up in a museum where they weren't allowed to touch things, play with thi

Based on the attempts of my parents and my in-laws to give my wife and I "valuable stuff", either it's going to goodwill now, or it is sitting unused and unloved in a garage. We cannot seem to get it through our parent's

What works for me, is to ask myself what is the next step and then try and focus exclusively on that. When my mind wanders three steps ahead, I mentally kick myself in the butt and remind myself to focus on the next thing only. It's a

The article and the infographic in question did not call those signs of whiteness, they are referred to as some aspects and assumptions of Whiteness and WHite Culture. Most of which cause me to wonder what kind of person wouldn't agree

People are already doing that. I have at least two inquiries per week from people wanting to either mow my lawn or clean my house.
