yeah, when I first stumbled on to the internet it was all about the protocols and specific implementations didn't matter. Then later IE dominated the web and hurt interoperability,…

I don't get migraines very often (once a year maybe), but the first aura was very strange not knowing what it was. For me they start out as a bright point of light then spreads out…

> The US (and most rich countries) have way too much domestic dairy farm capacity. As a result, there is lots of govt subsidies paid to dairy farmers. I think you might have cause …

Maybe they mixed up usenet by doing what I used to do back then - use gmane so I could follow various mailing lists via NNTP for better thread tracking and not filling up my inbox.…

My Lenovo Thunderbolt 3 docks wakes up reliably, the problem is that it keeps randomly nodding off for a second or so causing the monitor to lose signal and have to sleep/wake itse…

> Can AI have mental breakdowns? I recall Microsoft's Sidney having a hilarious one regarding the date or something. Anyone have a link to that?

That wasn't anywhere near your point. Your point was that "the left" would praise Boko Haram. You backed it up with a link to a story that was neither about Boko Haram, was about b…

Unless by "the left" you mean some solitary idiot (or troll) on tiktok who just went to college. In the west Boko Haram's goal seem closer to groups on the right than anyone on "th…

>If the terrorists were very smart, they'd realize that their religion is stupid, that their leaders were mostly corrupt (or themselves stupid), and they'd also probably find somet…

Especially in the hard rock grindcore genre.

The properly calibrated unit is a Volkswagen Beetle.

It isn't wrong exactly. JS is famous for generally just trying to do something semi random instead of giving you a typing error. That's the difference between "having a typing erro…

Also, the quote didn't really apply in the 80s. Getting a game running on a C64, Spectrum, Amiga, ST or Apple II didn't involve understanding the computer. That autoexec crap was u…

Vibes? There's a fallacy named after McNamara trying to break it down to numerical metrics. Vibes probably would've served them better. I think they had much more intelligence and …

20yrs ago, for me migrating off p4 onto svn was such a relief and feeling really "freeing" in a way I haven't felt often.

My attitude is Fuck Optimisation, it's just so exhausting and boring.

I'm guessing you meant 10k m^2 (ie 1 hectare) rather than 10km ^2 (10,000 hectares if I mathed correctly)

I much preferred Diamond Age to Snow Crash. It's been a while though, so can't fully remember why - but I think Snow Crash tried to be too cute or something and kinda seemed disjoi…

I also had one of their intro books before having a computer available. But it had a paper based simulator of the program counter and variables so you could run through without a c…

Same with me. As a 12yr old I failed learning Z80 on my spectrum with the one book I could find. I had a bunch of other Usborne BASIC books, but their machine code book(s) would've…

Python containing type hints doesn't get transpiled the way typescript does. The transpiling rewrites the TS to varying degrees depending on the target and the extra TS features be…

I'm on my third job since COVID. None have dedicated desks, and this ranges across startups, corporates and large govt agencies. Every job I had before COVID back to when I started…

Yeah, thats 20 Opus 4.7 prompts.

It recently went up to 15x in our org.
