Nothing against Bluesky, but I think we are all a little jaded after seeing decades of the "embrace, extend, extinguish" pattern.

When someone asks me what a software engineer's day is like I give them the following description: "Remember back to high school math class. Now imagine 8 hours of high school math class back-to-back-to-back. Now add in "pop-

What gets missed in this discussion is that John Deere and other large machine manufactures offset the purchase price of these machines with the expected cost of maintenance for the lifetime of the machine. This lets business owners (in thi

What we need is a nationalism of the electricity grid and power plants. A federally owned and operated electric grid solves this issue.

From my experience, exciting projects get assigned to people willing to work 50+ hour weeks and be on call nights and weekends if something breaks because these exciting new products are market-share grabs. If you have shown resistance to w

That is not entirely true. Using scene-chunking to multi-thread the encode means that the video buffer can not be transferred between scenes making the start of each scene visually worse in video streaming situations where the bit-rate is c

Cool but I'd much rather see someone sell a little server box where all I would need to do is plug it into my router and open up a port. IE: If we are going to decentralize with Mastodon-style software lets actually decentralize the ha

ScPrime and Storj use the blockchain to reduce micro-payment fees to data centers for data storage and bandwidth. Sure this could be done via traditional banking arrangements but the transaction fees would take a major bite out of the data

I also do not like browsing for content on Netflix because whenever I pause on a title it starts playing trailer with sound when what I really want to do is look at the average user rating and read the premise blurb.

Best way to encode video is to use a scene detect algorithm to chunk up the video into multiple parts, configure your encoder to encode those parts with a single CPU thread, and spin off one thread per scene to your CPU's max amount of

This seems like victim blaming. Removing the app from the play store seems like much too harsh of a punishment for a simple procedural oversight. To me it seems like a more appropriate response would have been to give Briar a 5 day window t

If you do this the first thing you should do is drive it to a car dealership and trade it in.

I doubt this is the case. More than likely Apple changed one of their IPhone API calls without notice and so this TOS change is a legal stopgap until the AirBNB devs can refactor the code to account for this unexpected API change.

Odd. In all my math and physics classes the homework counted for less than 5% which basically made it all optional. After the assignment was done all answers were posted somewhere.

At least in my area, it feels unsafe to drive the speed limit on the interstate because you will be run off the road by impatient truck drivers.
