This is absolutely true. If anything, interactive debuggers are a crutch and actual logging is the real way of debugging. You really can't debug all sorts of things in an interacti…

Maybe you can sell it to the people that bought the Enron trademark and they can sell it as a gag gift.

Sir we are at launch, TURN YOUR KEY.

Who'd want to steal from that cesspool anyway? Same for reddit, I can't imagine getting reddit memes spit at me from ChatGPT. But yeah, I bet both of them are being used quite libe…

I'm a huge fan of theaters. There's a local art theater (non-profit) that had a tier of support that allowed for free tickets to any movie. The price was $1500/yr, and you could wr…

"Musk, who has been engaged in a high-profile feud with US President Donald Trump, on Thursday threatened to decommission the Dragon before later saying the spacecraft would stay i…

The difference is just a minus sign!

And the classic accelerometer installed backward which doomed the Genesis mission sample return, although some bits were successfully recovered, the parachute never deployed.

All about that bass, all about that bass.

This is why I never let my "smart" TVs contact the internet anymore.

Even that isn't really true, since you don't pay taxes on Roth IRAs, and a normal IRA is taxed based on the total amount distributed (since you didn't pay taxes on the amount put i…

It'd be hard to figure out. A lot of hedge funds run on mark-to-market accounting, which basically taxes the unrealized gains as gains every year, as opposed to keeping track of th…

Having a single developer allows fewer offices with their windows completely covered with newspaper. Plus, there's one person doing everything, which can be a lot better than two w…

Small world! I worked on Yellow Door / Golden Gate automation for releasing 360 titles and patches to prod, and the beta group / KDC service code.

Instead of using AI to summarize body cameras, why not just release the body camera footage along with the police report? This is almost never done, usually you have to wait for di…

Between not wanting to be seen and sun protection, I'm tempted to go full Burka (even though I'm not religious).

What's funny is the metallic confetti would inevitably have a serial number on it that they could trace to who bought it. Taser rounds already have this built in.

I'm always amazed how we think a plant or animal has gone extinct, only to find it decades or centuries later. Life finds a way, and we're terrible at seeing it!

As someone with optic nerve degeneration, if anyone who works here is looking for a CS person to help, let me know. I'll be watching this (pun intended) with great interest.

https://fincen.gov/boi you go here and follow the instructions. One of the easiest things to do, I did it myself.

Yeah just watched the Rock a few nights ago (on my new giant TV) and the movie holds up, but the VX gas does not make you blister up like they show in the movie, nor does it just n…

I had the pleasure of interviewing with Sphinx a few weeks ago, and I just want to say these guys are the real deal, would highly recommend interviewing with them if you are intere…

I've always loved that scene in particular, I know exactly the one you're talking about.

I was doing this style of interviewing more than 10 years ago. I didn't think it was cool enough to invent some kind of name though. It's just a way to get people started on the ta…
