You can't expect a company to support you in directly hurting them. This reminds me of a guy I know that sued his bank regarding a loan, but he used a terrible lawyer. The bank pre…

Not that not being able to open a ticket is not actually an implemented feature from GitHub; they simply added this issue template to let you know that you shouldn't open one: *DO …

At some point I think it will be required for police bodycams and any security footage used in court to have this technology built in.

I know Korea is a fast-changing place, but while I was there I was taught and often observed that the value of "ppalli ppalli" (hurry hurry) was often applied to mean that a job wa…

Anyone else amused by the date on the picture being 1 day from the beginning of the Unix epoch?

Having a to-do app that really pushes you to break down tasks into tiny pieces actually sounds really nice. I think that's the biggest takeaway for me here. The receipt print might…

Most of his complaints are understandable, but my goodness please just share the PPT slides, and the lecture notes, too, if they are appropriate for distribution! It's standard pra…

Most of the voices give "I'm sorry, I can't assist with that request" when I try to input Japanese. They all work for German and Spanish, though.

It's kind of ingenuous to take RFK's views on drug rehabilitation options and re-state them as if people are being sent to re-education/concentration camps. That said, I do find th…

>Remember, they live literally in another world. One of my favorite sociology books is about rich people practically living in a different country, Richistan .

It's been a while since I tried, but my experience trying to manually set up GPUs was atrocious, and with investigation generally ending at the closed-source NVidia drivers it's ea…

In my mind, addressing the huge lag on Switch between input and display would more than make up for any lost FPS. I want responsive controls.

Doesn't work if you have lazy-eye, unfortunately! I generally just see whatever my stronger eye sees. It might be a good exercise to improve my weaker eye's sight, though.

That's actually a great idea! Something like the companies that take care of getting refunds for flight tickets when the flight is delayed too long (in Germany you are legally enti…

I would love to be able to manage my actual calendar with this. By which I mean, I want a seamless bridge with google calendar, iCal, etc. that also lets me view, edit, source-cont…

What do you use for the other controls? Start, select, exit, confirm... I have an older L-Tek and I really wish I had one with all nine step buttons (for other dance games) plus co…

In my opinion, when an assignment is flagged as potential plagiarism, that should be a signal that the student needs to be interviewed about the work to make sure that they actuall…

I would love to see this updated with information on building a realtime Linux (which is now officially supported). I have in mind some hand-held devices that would be a lot more i…

I don't know why, but AI-generated images have a very particular look; here I pick up on a certain bokeh blurring and huge, shiny eyes. The peacock actually reminds me of the AI gi…

I bought our wedding rings back in 2011, and I was very annoyed to find that the synthetic diamonds were better quality but always came with some sort of laser engraving to mark th…

Boy I would love something like this for electronic parts datasheets.

Also, I feel really old explaining that.

You can tell by looking at a VHS tape if it's been rewound or not; there are two little windows that let you see the tape reels, and all of the black stuff should be in the left wi…

100 bucks says Louis Rossmann will rant about this tonight.

Doesn't dust usually cling to surfaces due to static electricity and, in some settings, presence of grease in the dust?
