Pop some popcorn and watch the show: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/did-the-sun-rise-from... Other than that, I'm thinking about what kind of side hustle I could start and get going. I suppose we

Sadly, I haven't travelled enough to know where I'd really like to be. Oh sure, I've done research, but I've travelled enough to know that what looks good on paper isn't always as good in reality. Having said all

WTF?!?!?! This is Operations 101 stuff. Even crazier is the fact Tesla has energy management solutions such as AMOS that could be used to handle such an event. Wouldn't that have been great advertisement? The power went out, but SpaceX

I look at it like this: we don't understand how dogs think, either. We don't know if they're conscious the same way we are. We know they don't see colors the same way we do. We know they can hear sounds that we can'

This solution makes the AirTag bigger. Might be okay for a photo bag, it's quite cumbersome for car keys and dogs. Besides, your phone will warn you when the battery is getting low. I always keep a couple of 2032 batteries on hand and

Midwesterner here - I use y'all all the time and nobody says anything about it. I live in an area where "yunz" is more popular (not quite yins) and I just hate the sound of that word. So y'all it is!

Not satire. Google 'elon musk royal society.' Apparently, this has been an issue for a few months now. I had no idea.

Out of curiosity, who does assembly language programming these days? Back in the 90s the compilers had learned all our best tricks. Now with multiple instruction pipelines and out-of-order instruction processing and registers to be managed,

As I recall, the biggest problem from the last go-around was the models and implementation were two different sets of artifacts and therefore were guaranteed to diverge. If we move to a modern incarnation where the AI is generating the impl

This realization is what I see as the key difference between a junior developer and a senior developer. It's kind of fascinating that a junior developer became a founder. This kind of real-world learning experience is awesome and is on

Back in the late 80s and early 90s there was a craze called CASE - Computer-Aided Software Engineering. The idea was humans really suck at writing code, but we're really good at modeling and creating specifications. Tools like Ration

Apple has tons of user engagement data. You would think they would have a heatmap showing them where their customers are spending a lot of time trying to accomplish a task. I would focus Apple Intelligence, amongst other tools, to reduce th

I'd say it's a totally wrong take, but for a different reason. As a Cold War Kid, the reason I'd always heard for America's win was the Soviets were using base 3 computers while the US was using base 2. The base 3 system

I don't doubt that, in fact I rather expect that, but I'd be surprised if they were using it in a commercial context.

It may depend on what we mean by "dead." I'm thinking hobbyists may still use just about anything just to tinker with things, but I don't think that's particularly interesting in this context. What's more inter

AMD was licensed by Intel to produce x86 processors so that IBM would have a second source for their PCs. That licensing arrangement ended with the 386 (well, Intel ended it, AMD claimed it was still valid). AMD was forced to produce their

The Pentium FDIV Bug is what put AMD on the map. Until that time, AMD was struggling with getting traction in the lucrative market of corporate sales. AMD was seen as being the cheap, and inferior, alternative to Intel and was primarily use

Well, Intel had a strategy and a CEO. The CEO was forced out by the board, but we don't know why. All we've heard is the board wasn't happy with the direction Intel was taking. How long have they been unhappy? How much in

I disagree that NASA should be fully transparent about the investigation while the investigation is ongoing. NASA waited until they got findings and results and are now presenting that to the public. The article doesn't mention, but

Elon understands that after so many zeroes pile up in your account book, the money starts becoming useless unless it can be combined with power. If an opportunity presents itself where you can make a lot of money and obtain a lot of pol

The real question is how much money does he stand to gain as a result? Was this a good investment? I would imagine it's a very good investment. I think what people don't like about this is Elon has made it very visible that our go

When does it become armed? When several officers get beaten. Meanwhile, faith has no place in this discussion. Either you believe in the rule of law, or you don't. If you don't believe the law applies to everyone equally, regardle

This is the paragraph that stood out to me: Writing frameworks feels good, productive, and best of all: it’s risk-free. So before we start doing the hard work of actually having to write an application, why not spend some time considering

I'd gladly pay it if they brought back the flavor. Their food went bland after the listeria outbreak - which is sad, because I used to love Chipotle!
