Having been in the industry for a couple decades, and having worked at both, they're not all that different. Some groups are going to be better than others in the same company. Some companies are floating on venture money today, and mi

It's easy to throw shade when Bloomberg writes an article that puts the blame on "a staffer". Having worked near some of these systems, the engineering and process are actually quite good. How many companies publish their pri

"Just use Unix time!" Some problems have a surprising amount of inherent complexity. Java has tried a few times to solve date values, and the results are sometimes unusably complicated. I don't know what the answer is... an e

I frequently point out that $ThingWeSayIsntAi isn't as good at something as a person who is good at it, but it is rapidly becoming better than a person who isn't good at it. Coming from decades of systems pretending to be remotely

I used to drive a RWD BMW in the snow, and it seems lost on people that all cars have four wheel braking. All you need are decent snow tires.

Using browser crypto to create a document is the right thing to do, but you might want a JavaScript decryption library to improve portability and lifespan. I would check that it’s capable of decrypting the payload when you’re making a docum

My prescription has always been for one in the morning and half in the afternoon. Mindful timing seems to provide decent coverage. Sometimes I'll take less, like over the weekend or on vacation. But again, people who drink coffee tend

Now I can procrastinate on twice as many things! (It is important to realize that medication doesn't make you a different person.) I am still on it, and I did ask to slightly increase my dosage after 12 months. I'm often worried t

You do need to lay off the coffee for a bit though. At first I stopped altogether, then went back to some decaf, now I'm back to drinking some regular, but always careful about how much. Also, decongestant medication, though Adder-all

I don’t know the exact implementation details of CLOS, but I feel that it can be easily replicated in C by adding the needed metadata in the structure and doing the needed type checking in the functions. And thus Objective-C was reb

It's always satisfying to be certain, but the meaning of words does shift over time, and sometimes words have multiple origins. Assuming that 70s or 80s programmers knew anything about printing presses is tenuous. Given the long assump

Lol, show me your source on how many households have re-usable forks

It isn't more than 33% as efficient as a fork, but honestly you don't need to shovel that often. There's usually a spoon as well, which is the undisputed champion of scooping.

Disposable chopsticks are a bit of soft wood or bamboo. Your processed and bleached napkin probably has a higher environmental impact. Compare that to a plastic fork, or even a metal fork that accidentally ends up in the trash. That said, m

You can shovel with chopsticks a little by pushing the pad of your thumb between them. The tension keeps the points a little apart and works like a two pronged fork.

These are basically training chopsticks. If you find yourself using them a lot, you'll find it easier and more satisfying to use actual chopsticks. Chopsticks are cheap, easy to clean, versatile, able to be made from materials like bam
