Personally I spend a lot of time staring at code thinking “wtf was this person thinking when they did this…I know there was a reason but..what was it” (doubly so if I’m the one who wrote it). So I think you’re right, unless there’s a key bi

I was clear in my comment that I wasn’t advocating for that to be a feature. How is it that you learned to type before you learned to read?

Honestly I’m surprised that they cant just be remotely disabled. I’m not advocating for this feature by the way. I’m just surprised that it’s not a thing.

I also don’t think the technology is affordable enough. I had a couple of friends who were big into second life and always tried to get me to join in and I did but my machine was so sloooooooow and my connection was so choppy that it wasn’t

Way way back I wrote a small script for my blackberry that updated a page on my university account with my rough location. My wife was like that’s so creepy no one will ever want that. Then four square happened. Then everything else happene

And there’s the newest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator. People really love the vr mode and the videos I’ve seen (I’ve never played it) already look pretty darn realistic and engaging.

That’s one thing that I am so curious about. I’m just not sure what problems Facebook engineers have to deal with. I hear all these stories about the hiring process and people being asked to implement wildcard regex matching or something. T

My wife has a chronic, expensive, difficult to manage, and unpredictable health condition. Having to leave her to be in an office when I’ve been doing great work from home is a show stopper for me. And I’m always upfront about that with emp

100% agree. Before my current job I worked with tons of remote teams and it was great. Even now, the majority of my interactions are with people on the west coast or offshore teams in India. My boss is in the mid west and his boss is in the

That brings me to wonder...who has the most cash on hand at any given time and how much cash do they have? I'm really quite curious about that.

I'm not arguing that no one should focus on space and I'm certainly not arguing that no one should focus on science..it's the opposite in fact. It just seems to me that going to space is sort of a solved problem, and that now

I know that going into space is sexy and nerdy and cool and that it’s a difficult problem. What I don’t get is why so many people think about going to space and spend so much money on it when there are people in the US who drink water that

Is it me being jaded or is a billion or two dollars not really that much money anymore? I mean sure, if someone were to give me a billion dollars I'd be excited (pending dealing with taxes etc). But I mean..theres what a couple thousan

The guy should pivot in place, bend at the knees, grab the handles, stand, and then pivot in place. It’s like people decided to invent a power suit because they forgot how to use their feet.

I dunno most contractors like to get paid. I’m not sure but the Trump company does sort of have a history of not paying workers. I’m not arguing whether or not they should’ve. But it is kind of a _thing_

So you know in the Hunger Games when the guy was like “what if just once no one watched?” .. what if there were a truly massive protest (millions of people) who just said fuck it and didn’t pay their taxes and instead wrote in that they dem

Looking at the last code I wrote earlier today and the comments I have things like “this object contains active member records” because the object itself has a cryptic name that’s basically a GUID. Now I’m questioning would it be better to

I know nothing about hardware, basically. Do Apple’s new GPU cores come close to the capabilities of discrete GPUs like what are used for gaming/scientific applications? Or are those cards a whole different thing ?

The only thing that bothers me with my various Airs-pod is that they sometimes want to connect to other devices (or, more accurately, other devices want to connect to them)..for example I'll be on a call with my Airpods Max connected t

they _could_ project sound outward, using beam forming, such that the sound ricochets off of the walls and other surrounding objects and is directed onto the bones behind your ear. I'm not saying that would work, but it's an optio

I work with this guy who’s sort of an “automation” guy. He’s responsible for automating or at least partially automatic really complex processes. I’ve seen the guy automate away whole departments. Generally speaking my point is that he deli

I don’t really understand the economy. Here’s why: it’s entirely artificial. We, humans, make the rules. We control the input and if we don’t like the output we can just change that too. The market doesn’t actually exist. It’s just pieces o

If you don’t mind my asking, what would you say you spend most of your time doing in a week? For me it’s a lot of requirements gathering and sketching things out then developers go off and build it. For example next week I’ll be working wit
