My last Windows machine is for games. Hopefully I'll be able to get a Steam machine for an easy exit. If a game doesn't run on it, I won't buy or play it.

Before making the first shot, turn around and face backwards. Shoot back and to the left toward the barrier. After the ball ricochets, it should hit the downward-angled barrier on …

I'm referring to the tag that Youtube is going to assign automatically.

Only if you view the label as accurate, which you really, really should not.

This isn't possible on Youtube right now. The automatic tools for detecting LLM-generated content have far too many false positives. And obviously no one is going to pay an army of…

You're correct; it's a misuse of the term. Better terms would be embargo, quarantine, or just delay.

I'm staring at the EOL of Windows 10, which I use on my game machine. I'll happily get one of the cubes for my next box. I'd like this to be the end of my Windows usage.

This is so much nonsense. Contracts and interfaces have little to do with OOP. If you don't like inheritance, then talk about OOP. It's fine. Many people, including myself, don't l…

Humans are the worst programmers, except for all other programmers.

"Earhart planned to have human navigators on board with her, but she’d be the first female pilot to accomplish the feat." - What an odd statement. Could "male" have been replaced b…

Innovators like Jobs are incredibly rare. We're lucky he chose someone who would not only preserve the company, but stave off the worst of the enshittification that has eaten Micro…

The article says that it is "intricate and difficult", and "has only one path leading to the center, and each junction or fork never allows you to find an alternative route, but al…

That's downright ironic.

ZZ if you're musically inclined.

I had a unit tests for a Java LocalDate that was being increased by one year. It checked whether the month and day were the same, and failed because the current day (29) didn't equ…

I thought it was a good reference. In both cases, the manufacturer placed illicit, hidden code that that could (and probably should) get it in trouble with the law.

I think the issue is that they tried to separate the input into a list of tokens, like ["5", "nine"], and work from there, which doesn't work on something like "oneight".

I don't understand the reluctance to hire a system administrator. If you have two or more technical folks, at least one of them should be a sysadmin (or "devops" if you prefer). Pr…

e^i*tau = 1 is pretty elegant, too.
