How dare they accuse Intel of any kind of naming scheme at all. Everyone who’s anyone knows it’s an act of stochastic terrorism.

When you turn on a computer, it transfers code to software required to get the machine up and running reliably--the boot process. That used start in a chip called the BIOS. It's a 40-year old holdover from the early days of the IBM PC.

Not sure I agree? I made some famously (in my family) weird mistakes in writing when I was young. They were obvious dyslectic issues. Mostly that changed because I haven't shown any traits for years in reading & writing. I had an a

Any. Even if you're doing a blue collar job, understanding the fundamentals (or at least the specifics about a particular subfield) makes you "the guy" and adds some job security. As a programmer I often got ahead just becaus

I had slightly higher blood pressure than that last time I was given a colonoscopy lol. (TMI: probably due to childhood abuse.) They stopped immediately and it plummeted equally fast. Now they knock me out and it’s awesome.

So what language is ready to take its place in the thousands of new chips that emerge every year, the new operating systems, and millions of programs written in see every year?

Super fun but so much not for me. Fricking awesome if you're in the TV or movie business trying to get that effect right. Reminds me of the first time my artist kid used the term "pixel art", which in my memory brings back on

So now Roger Rabbit's creator has the rights back, which is awesome. There will never again be a movie version with as outrageous a cast as the original movie. Somehow they managed to get rights to the biggest characters from competing

Glorious. This is the first time in 40 years of programming that I've encountered the term "waka waka" for the "<>" pair. My google-fu failed me when I tried to look it up today, perhaps due to search pollutio

The dogs that win prizes often disturb me. I feel like there must be a bunch of inbreeding going on, and maybe for features that look interesting but aren't necessarily good for them. Is this concern misplaced? Not a dog show expert so

I am uneasy about it for no logical reason. I have an emotional attachment to pennies because as a not rich kid in the 60s, even finding a penny brightened my day. Back then they sold "penny candy", for example a roll of Smarties,
