> "people could die"? These are just tweets. Like a few short sentences. The world is a big place. I'm sure someone has died once because of some event connected to a tweet, but it can't happen very often. Right? Or a

I realize that the article wants to deify her, but I think we need to be honest that a big part of the job is implementing the kind of censorship that was never supposed to be part of the Internet.

This is interesting news. I wonder if the EMF leaking from other chips can divulge keys?

How big are the performance gains? I've got a big block of legacy code so I'm not as interested in the new coding features. But if it brings better performance I'll install it.

Just 75%? A friend was working for one of those AI startups. They wanted him to download and effectively steal documents for training their LLM. When he pointed out that the TOS explicitly forbade mass downloading, they fired him immediatel

EPIC hasn't been the same since they kicked out Marc Rotenberg. Sad to say.

Which might be said to increase privacy. I suppose there's something to the point about combating spam. But surely there are other ways to do this, right?

This kind of uncoordinated leaking is a deeper problem. Many share the last four digits of a SS#. Okay. But often the first five are easy to guess from the birthday and the birth state. The first few digits tell the state where the number w

He's being sarcastic about the slow progress. They can barely factor small numbers like this and that's only after assuming that the answer will be 3*7.

At one recent gig, everything was fun until the company got big enough to need an HR scold. Ugh. We were told that a ping pong table was forbidden because of "health and safety issues". Needless to say, I left soon after.

I'm having great luck with SQLite. Most of the content is cached in ram so there aren't many hits on the db.

Looks just as manipulated as view counts on YouTube or like counts on social media. Sad, really.

A friend of mine likes to point out that Formula 1 cars are very light and the drivers aren't emasculated. But somehow this detail doesn't make it to the car designers in Detroit.

Exactly. What does this person think the Wikipedia articles are based upon? There's supposed to be a real source!

I agree. Why throw away perfectly good work out of some bizarre idea about "notability?" What's notable now is now what will be notable in the future. Stop the destruction! End this dumb rule and make Wikipedia truly open to

While YouTube is now commonplace enough that I could see an author use it naturally without compensation, I'm sure that payment happens. How often? Most books don't sell enough copies to make it worth their while. I do know some l

One of my companies switched to Yubi pass keys. They were super cool -- until I tried to log in on a computer with only USB-A ports. My key is USB-C. I suppose I need to get an adapter now.

I like the idea of universities, but the modern versions are just lost in some cloud. My company definitely does skills-based hiring and we're actively looking to hire people without a standard college degree. If they can show they&#x2

On one of the earlier flights with wifi, I found that my Google docs were saving correctly even though I didn't pay for the wifi upcharge. The router wasn't blocking those ports. It seems like this has changed recently. Too bad.

I suppose the ambient temperature makes a big difference. Shoot, I've been winter camping and even propane won't work because it's too cold. That's why the stove companies make special cartridges for winter camping.

I suppose it is slightly misleading, but it still could be true for many intents and purposes. For instance, a fire marshal once explained that kerosene had a much higher temperature of evaporation than gasoline. You could put a cigarette o

Is that really connected to the loss of staff? I get the impression that many of the advertisers dropped Twitter for political reasons not because some API wasn't as rock solid as it used to be.

Many of the Metro rides in DC are $5 or more. Some people are saying that it's cheaper to drive to work and pay for parking -- something that is also jamming the roads. One study found that drive times are 20% longer than before COVID

Why is this news? When I watched "Miami Vice" recently, the premise was that the protagonist was sort of a shabby, underpaid civil servant and so he couldn't even afford to live on land. This was the 1980s version of Miami be

I'm sorry to say that I've personally witnessed some people in the next lab commit fraud. It was investigated and someone was fired, but I can believe that it is all too common.
