It looks bad on the insurance paperwork.

Cool. How many did they add?

Yeah...AGI isn't going to successfully replace Chris. But you know what this shit will do? It'll teach people that any information that they share about what they're doing or how t…

Failures in production remain expensive.

This...has been a feature on security cameras for at least a decade.

There's a fine line here when dealing with customers. Sometimes it works well to answer the exact question, if you can, and follow up with "Can you tell me a bit why you're asking …

It's ok to reject for any number of (or no) reasons. Nobody needs to feel like a jerk for taking a project in the direction they want.

This seems...fine? I know when I run into bugs in a project I depend on, I'll usually run it down and fix it myself, because I need it fixed. Writing it up the bug along with the P…

Well, this is disappointing. They were my goto site for keyboards. :/

That sorta surprised me. Once I could identify a connector type from a schematic, it was almost never a huge problem getting them in small (1 to 5 piece) quantities. It's mostly a …

Interesting...1999 is probably a bit early for that Bosch to be running one of the usual ECU update protocols like UDS. It sounds like it's in the bootloader and looking for a vali…

ECU software development is sort of my day job. If you're going to go down this path, I seriously recommend getting the specialized plugs and connectors and making your own wiring …

Ok, fellow old hacker here. I have a similar problem and I found that a lot of the hand pain was from mouse/trackpad usage. My hands have been a lot happier since going to a trackb…

Non-technical founder? Can you line up investors or customers based on your pitch? That's pretty much the acid test.

They didn't go anywhere. Lots of excellent starship/space opera novels out there with more coming out each year. There's just lots there stuff too. :)

Nice! Old me and my old bike are sticking to 200kms this year. :)

Who wants to be on-call for someone else's buggy vibe-coded app? Sign me right up for that...

Very much this.

Yeah...I know some delta pilots and apparently the inflight computers were sometimes spending more time playing chess than flying the plane...

Alas, AI generated code is usually more tech debt.

Is my remote experiences strange or do other remote workers not have some sort of chat where people ask if you've got a minute and drop in a video conference link if they need a qu…

I've had to cook from scratch for many years because I've lived with people with various food restrictions and sometimes that's just the easiest way to do things. That said, you re…
