Thanks for this and for the original post! Excited to look into it some more.

Man. I really want a pinball machine. But they’re just so expensive. Though I had kinda ruled out building a virtual pinball machine. This article has convinced me to reconsider. Can anyone recommend a guide? I’m a pinball newbie but not a

I feel like “putting wifi in my home” is similar to “putting bodies that emit heat in my home”. Neither of which implicitly grant law enforcement to come and observe either through the walls of my home. I am not a lawyer, nor am I familiar

Reading through the comments of other people having similar problems makes me question if this is at all related to the specific issue. But I think it's worth bringing up anyway: When I first started using PiHole, the default filters w

But how much of that agriculture should move elsewhere? I’ve read/heard that a bulk of the alfalfa grown in Utah is exported to other countries: https://www.sltrib.com/opinion/editorial/2022/12/04&#x

If I had to start up a new web-service right now I would reach for Java + Spring Boot. Boot gets you running fast, and since I use Java for my day job I’m very familiar with the ecosystem. I’ve been out of the loop for C# for a while (only

Right. The fact that they've somehow managed to make me the victim when I wasn't even involved is maddening. The bank/lender/etc is the victim here. But somehow I have to take the fall. Well, next time they should ask

ULIDs have made our MySql caches breathe a sigh of relief. One place we're avoiding ULIDs (and other counters) is in publicly-facing IDs. Preferring random to help keep them unguessable. (say what you will about security-through-obscur

I have weird feet. I've had foot drs gasp when they first see my feet. I love my Vibrams. They're the best shoes I've ever owned. And I'm pretty sure mine are a half-size too small :P But they're still better than

Oh. I stand corrected then. That’s terrible.

It runs fine offline. You can’t run it offline AND multiplayer, however. They took LAN away with the remaster.

It's for security. Checking against a list of banned URLs, etc. When you have user-submitted content, protecting your users from bad URLs is important. Also, I'm sure they're doing plenty of click tracking too :)

I absolutely agree. My point was more that using Saw Stop as an illustration of the broken system is a poor one. Because I think the patent on physical tech enabled a real disruption to the status-quo. Allowing "the little guy" to

I actually think that Sawstop (in general. Might be some details that are bogus) is a great example of the patent system working as intended. The inventor reached out to several saw makers to license his new invention. None of them took it

Eventually, sure. But the point is that ChatGPT claims to be. But then does nothing more tell a story and then say “You win!”

I've had a few moments with ChatGPT that are great anecdotes similar to your own: - Asked it to generate a MadLib for me to play that was no more than a paragraph long. It produced something that was several paragraphs wrong. I told it

Do you know a good place to shop for new-in-box pinball machines? A few weeks ago I poked around on eBay and Google. And mostly found cheap digital ones or other cabinets similar to the arcades you can get at Walmart.

I’ve used RabbitMq to do long running jobs. Jobs that take hours and hours to complete. Occasionally even 1-2 days. It did take some configuring to get it working. Between acking appropriately and the prefetch (qos perhaps? Can’t remember,

The smoke you see while working with solder is from the flux, not the lead. Lead doesn't vaporize at the temperatures soldering exposes it to. Just don't put the solder in your mouth and wash your hands. Here is one stack exchange

Agreed. I think this is where Java’s latest date/time libraries shine (heavily based on Joda time lib). It makes a solid distinction between Dates, times, instants, and zone dates/times. And Instant is a moment in time. Exposed as

I wonder if CC companies have a way of punishing companies for this. At least in my circles, the sense of security from having charge-backs is a huge reason a lot of people even use CCs. If Visa told Uber/Epic/etc "you can&#x

I feel like this can be applied to most fields. Do you need an IDE to write, for example, Java or C#? No. But it sure is nice! And you can do some pretty cool code analysis and refactoring with some good tools. Do you need a jointer, a plan

And that’s fair.. but worth pointing out I bought Diablo 2 Resurrected which I almost exclusively play online. Unless they release an expansion then I’m done paying them money. I think there’s some places where SaaS makes a lot of sense. An
