The original startup simulator used cropped images of real people, and I could see in the git history where people had asked to have their photos removed, so for the remake I decided to use AI for the headshots. Each was generated with the

Allowing owners to choose when to install updates would address many issues. Most updates are uneventful, but I’d prefer to install them when I’m at home in my driveway rather than while road-tripping in a rural area, 90 miles from the near

Some NCR cash registers used this trick: they shipped with all the hardware included, but jumper blocks determined what percentage of the hardware the customer had paid for. As the customer’s business grew, they could purchase additional ca

The motion picture industry’s problem isn’t piracy, it’s just that they keep targeting movies at 0.02% of the population. If they want to sell more movies they ought to target a bigger demographic.

I recently bought a SIG P320, and a week later, I started reading articles about it self discharging. =P It’s not like it happens all the time, but it seems that if the safety lever spring’s thickness is off by a thousandth of an inch, and

Jamie Dimon's "office" is a 2,500 sq. ft. apartment on Park Avenue in New York. It's paid for by the company, and he lives there with his wife during the week. It's so hypocritical that the guy pushing hardest for a

It sounds to me like the university is using the threat of expulsion to steal or coerce you into giving over your site. I think you just got the best IRL education ever.

This is one of those games that would be great to have the source code for. I’ve seen dozens of people try to do rewrites or reverse engineer the code, but this one got further than most. The author of the original Allycat died a couple dec

That is too bad, Teleport is how I learned a lot of the crypto APIs in Golang. It also provided me with a glimpse into part of openssh which was never very well thought out - signed keys. Since I was working in an environment where developm

When I did low latency everyone was offloading TCP to dedicated hardware. They would shut down every single process on the server and bind the trading trading app to the CPUs during trading hours to ensure nothing interrupted. Electrons tra

I'm hoping that one day ChatGTP will be advanced enough to ignore advertisements for me. Oh what will the world do if they have to go see a doctor to get an effective toenail fungus cure rather than try the four hundred clickbait remed

The problem with hashicorp IMO is that all of their pricing is apparently targeted at hedge funds and oil sheiks. I would like to buy support from them but I don’t have $30k/month to do that. I would like to move to a paid tier but tha

Having your database exposed on the public internet so a third party service like this can read it directly is a very bad idea IMO. I get what your going for but the end here is some mom and pop getting their database compromised.

Deutsche Bank was one of the first places I worked at, closer to its heyday, I absolutely loved it. But it has been in decline for years, and has a lot of management issues, and fiefdoms. One of my favorite stories to retell is my wife had

I think you have that backwards - Elon never wanted Twitter, he just wanted to see his name in some headlines and make people run around pulling their hair for a bit. However he messed up and put himself in a position where he had to buy Tw

Don't let Youtube be the golden copy of your video. They can, and often do, kill your account at any time without notice or explanation and you will have no recourse. Keep the golden copy of all your video someplace reliable like S3 an

Usenet didn't fail at all, it just went out of fashion after Google killed the usenet archive. Honestly, I think if we applied everything we've learned about http over the past thirty years and applied it to an updated nntp protoc

This is a really awesome list - I'm proud to have seen all but two of them. But I would also note that the 70s gave us both Star Wars ('77) and Alien ('79). Of the two of them I actually think Alien is the most significant be

My biggest fear about remote work is the trend will reverse and I'll be at a huge disadvantage trying to negotiate a new position. Though everything I've read seems to indicate the trend is here to stay. I read that Jamie Dimon&#x

I had a boss who moved a guy from Russia to the US just so he could fire him. He was gone ten days after he arrived and all the paperwork was done. I guess that worker protections in Russia were really strong at the time, the guy was untouc

Write the stripe CEO, that will get routed to someone who can help. Front line support people are pretty useless except for the most routine functions.

Everybody is hoping they can cash out at pre-pandemic prices before it all comes crashing down. The real estate valuations are mostly wishful thinking at this point. Only question is how long the bluff plays out.

The article says IBM has laid of 5,000 and has hired 7,000 - sounds to me like typical IBM shenanigans to replace expensive employees with cheap ones. When I was there the gimmick was that you either relocated to a third world country and t

Have you priced housing in middle of nowhere lately? I would be more then happy to live an hour off the interstate and have a couple acres of trees for neighbors. No problems with maintaining a well, having a septic system, and a propane ta
