My personal answer to this is logging very little during normal operation and then logging a lot during errors. Depending on the maturity of the system “a lot” might mean the entir…

Excellent dedication to the pun!

Mostly noun recall. I can mentally picture and describe thing or person X, but when I'm having the problem it could possibly take me 30 minutes to figure out the name of X without …

I prefer the density of the original, but your addition of "Today", "Yesterday", "Wednesday"... buttons is excellent. That is much more useful than the infinite scroll on the vanil…

I've started enjoying older printed books again. There's solace knowing that it was at least made by a person.

Taking methylcobalamin B12 supplements essentially fixed my memory problems. Early on I tried out the cyanocobalamin type and got absolutely nothing from it. If I stop taking the s…

I believe the opposite. The issue is that destroying requires much less effort than creating.

I was talking about clients and servers in the classic setup, not for cloud gaming. My parent was talking about game ping and I was pointing out that cloud services are even more s…

The latency between peripheral input and visual feedback is much more important than the latency between a game client and server. The servers have all sorts of mitigation strategi…

Keyboards are an endless money pit for me. Every year or so I’ll randomly get dissatisfied with my setup and seek to somehow upgrade it. At some point I’ll have to admit that it’s …

I’d be 100% on-board if they changed this from a list of URL’s they define to a list I define. Web extensions sound great until you realize how much power you’re handing to arbitra…

This is the same logic in avoiding link-only answers on Stack Overflow. They’re both good rules.

For apples-to-apples, you’d look at Denver. We’re talking about the state’s 4th largest city which is 65 miles away from the capital and otherwise in the middle of nowhere. It’s ex…

Sounds like they’re the ones who implemented the bad code in the first place, as a honeypot. That just extortion with extra steps.

I am from Colorado and went to school in Fort Collins. It maybe be small nationally, but it’s probably the 4th biggest tech area in CO after Denver, DTC, and Colorado Springs. Cost…

Consider that without modern efficiency gains there would be significantly fewer people alive today, and that you might not be in the “extra” portion that we do have now. Is that a…

The FONY (ie SONY) logo in Akira is really important to me. It’s a flawless pun, a fake brand, and does it in only 4 characters!

I made a drastic improvement in my mindset with regards to media backlogs when I realized that they they exist to entertain me and that my whims are the only thing that matters. I …

Blast from the past! I’m not sure where I saw it originally but clearly remember liking it.

This is something society needs to deal with. If not for groups like them eventually the media will be lost. IMO there should be a rule that if something isn’t for sale by the righ…

Don’t forget games played on a 2d plane but rendered with 3d models and cameras! Those are also called 2.5D

This is my exact worry with things like chat gpt polluting the scrapable internet. The feedback loop might eventually ruin whatever value the models currently have by filling them …

I’ve recently gotten over this sentiment with my electronics. When I was a kid, each device was an irreplaceable gift from a parent or represented the investment of a long time sav…
