    I have an AI generated podcast that tries to unearth some of the negative spin that develops around these amazing achievements. No surprise there was a spike in misinformation this…

    It makes a kind of intuitive sense to me. Given I have no real understanding of the topic. Perfect click bait to get me to feel smart waxing intellectual on the toilet. It’s intere…

    To this point I wonder how full autonomy will impact this. A truck that drives itself and doesn't have to stop (besides to charge) will easily make the case for a freight or autono…

    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Saved me a bunch of frustrating searches.

    This makes me irrationally upset. First, because it exists. Second, because it blows my mind when people do things like this for fun & bubbles while I struggle to find simple bugs …

    "The Feeling of Power" by Asimov feels like an appropriate mention here.

    Agree. Trump seems to live enough in the open that anything you 'discover' may be inconvenient but no worse than the things he: a) has hand waved in the past, b) is happy to mainta…

    Maybe the most exciting thing I've heard so far from Build 2020. Getting Closer to my dream install: * WSL 2 * VS Code * .NET 5 * Windows Terminal * Package Manager * Edge All that…

    Seems it's less a 'party' and more a networking event where I'm sure your competitors are not invited. Also less 'your own dime' and more a business expense that helps Bezos skirt …

    Aren't you conflating the lexicon of data management with specific implementations of a relational database management system (RDBMS)? Sorry, but your response sounds snarky and re…

    This does feel like Musk's software background shining through: * Fail Fast. * Red. Green. Refactor.

    Thanks a lot for this quick summary. Computer science can be such a semantic jungle.

    Apologies. Macbook Pro 13. I'm not an Apple person so all the funny distinctions get lost on me sometimes.

    I tend to rely on michael Scriven's take from _Primary Philosophy_. He suggests (I believe) that aesthetics is one of the few remaining pure philosophical ideas. That is that it ha…

    I'm not an Apple fan but the Macbook 13 8/128 is a solid buy. Competitively priced against the other industry leaders (XPS, Surface, X1, etc). The only reason I don't own one is be…

    The semantics these days. Trade "success" for "progress"....but then also replace "accident" with "test result". Works both ways, so does the hyper-sensitivity. We are silly animal…

    Couldn't get through the video. Dude is so smug it hurts. He is the Steven Seagal of cyber security. I got to the part in the video where he asks "Is the question whether I broke t…

    I have no plans on trusting my child with a phone/tablet for a _very_ long time. I mean, the basic income model for _all_ major online companies is to increase engagement no matter…

    All of this paved the way for Nadella. I count it as a net gain.

    On the surface I think it really pricks you but it would be like buying an iPhone and wondering why you have to pay for a song subscription when the phone has the hardware to play …

    I'm in the US, not sure if you are. I think I had a similar experience. Didn't get into programming until much later in life and kicked every wall once I realized I love it. People…

    I think it's exactly this. We have something similar in RVA called "Open High School" https://www.rvaschools.net/OHS And apparently it's doing very well and is sought after. What a…

    I wonder of 'trickle down economics' works when the money is injected more closely to where it's supposed to trickle from? While I don't think Bank of America has a large percentag…

    100% this. We're never going to built a perfect sand castle. IMHO - There are many managerial short comings in software development that lead to abuse of legacy design. OOP by desi…
