I came in hoping for inspiration, got punched in the face by reality instead. It's a good read, just know what you are in for.

I was going to leave a remark about "wow, Class 10000 cleanroom?!" Then I decided to look it up. Turns out, the larger that number is, the LESS clean it is! https://www.mecart-clea…

"surprise" of the day: scientists can also be greedy for money and fame

spy vs spy, round n

finally, all the UFO videos can be clear!

And the next round of spy vs spy begin... AI generated content vs detecting it... just like the age old email spam problem.

I heard it, didn't your ears play it for you? I also heard my old 2400 modem connecting, which is rather odd...

I wish there was study based on whether multi-vitamins help for those of us who are professional sitters (eg, in tech, so we sit on our ass all day), and who most of the time do NO…

I remember spending all the money in the world I had on a USR Courier HST, and that world changing moment the HST connected... ahh, good memories.

It's one thing to "support" it, it's another to make components actually available to make repairs. I remember some people testing out a direct screen swap between two identical ip…

i think it does, i accidentally locked my phone, when i went back, did a refresh, and it loaded the last game after an initial "slide to unlock" screen

Me: "ah ha! I got it, rotation!" Game: "level 2: moar fingers required" Me: "damn you fingers! y u get in each other's way all the time??" Frustrating, but intriguing.

So when every country in the world started printing money like it's going out of style in the prime of COVID years, to help stimulate the economy, they effectively wrote the first …

We use to jokingly say that whatever the estimate is, the actual time it takes is twice as long, and increase the unit. So if the estimate is 2 weeks, it's gonna take 4 months. Sur…

ah! nice! sorry about that, I will admit (although I think you already know), that I didn't initially read the contents of your page :)

PSA: if you want to see how the site loads directly from the machine (eg, bypass cloudflare), just give it any random query string param. Such as: http://serentty.com/?t=13432 or h…

So are soldiers from both sides, either on foot or in vehicles in full radiation suits??? If not, aren't they at severe risk of radiation poisoning (in addition to rapid on set lea…

Awesome, thank you. Lovely counterpart to jq :)

I've asked this question a number of times in interviews. Sadly, not one person has ever talked about debouncing. I think I would've instantly hired the person, if they talked abou…

I think it isn't so much about what traffic to a static site will do to a server, but rather what the experience is for the end user. The tie in to CDNs help reduce load time for y…

so I take it the battery is user replacable? That's my worry with most of these electronics, the product can be fine, but if the battery is welded in place, then it becomes a huge …

I've been with HelloFresh for a year and a half. Before joining, I could only make the most basic meals, spaghetti, grilled cheese. Now, I feel like the training with HelloFresh an…

Sure it's fun and stuff, but it is literally stuff like this that makes higher ups think "Why are you taking so long for a form? I can have an AI do it for me!" And then you have t…

As soon as I saw ATARI, I thought this has gotta be an April fools day joke, then I saw it wasn't posted on the 1st, then I was confused...
