My last car had a key fob that could do that up to about a half mile away; cell signal irrelevant. It's just a 2-way remote start system. I miss it. The fob even reported the cab t…

Someone on another Amazon related thread mentioned that 50% leave after 2 years and 80% leave after 4. If you do the math on their TC to see how it actually works out from month to…

Perhaps tell them the story of the 10x carpenter. Obviously, the one who uses the most wood wins! ;) If told right, they should easily figure out why LoC is a horrible metric.

Even without rDNS, they're almost certain to know of at least one DNS name that goes with the IP address you're connecting to. Even if not, they can label/categorize/group it by IS…

I used to wonder the same about Chrome. Try using a Chromebook with less than 4GiB RAM. You can handle 2 simultaneous tabs/apps---if you choose them well. It's due to this behavior…

Build an ecosystem, not an experiment. Build an ecosystem, not a science project. Build an ecosystem, not a microbiome.

Seems like it should be. That's pretty much the status quo with how Azure Synapse works. You put your Parquet file out on storage, and query it (via Spark or Pandas).

Remember back in the day when we used to use the word "algorithm", instead of "AI"?

Reminds me of this short comedy bit from Richard Jeni ("Stop eating, you fat bastard"): https://youtu.be/V7GnOyd_z1w

Those are similar to my own thoughts. I like also having them talk about their favorite recent achievements. > I can quickly train a person to have knowledge in some domain, This p…

Any sources on that bit about chronic ibuprofen usage? I'm aware of the GI issues (stomach lining actually), and not the others. I'm a long chronic user (daily for years now), and …

^THIS^ ...And what comes when people are under the cloak of anonymity, or otherwise feel there will be no negative consequences to whatever they choose to do.

My opinion is that it's rooted in the anonymity people feel on the 'Net. There are no, if little consequences to being a jerk online---not nearly like in "real life". The other pro…

Expenses always rise to meet income.

I think he touched on that in the article. The masses are trusting the centralized API, not the blockchain. His NFT exists in the chain, but not the API, so it effectively doesn't …

Get a RokuTV. There's ONE ad on part of the home screen, and it's not animated. The OS doesn't feel bloated or slow at all. It ain't perfect, of course, but I'd never get a Vizio, …

I'm in a similar boat with the "Google Now" feed on Android. When I say "not interested", it fails to note that as expected, and I see the same news "story" pop up (usually differe…

Both meeting A and B start at 2pm and end at 3pm. After you're done with that corner case, you may find it better to determine if they don't overlap and negate that.

What I do is negate a check that determines if they don't overlap. Done.

We've decided we're going to call them MetaFace. :)

Whenever a FAANG company gives this excuse, it makes one wonder how these people consistently make it through their hiring gauntlet.

I read the title and first expected some satire like this: Imagine you're being taken on a "backstage tour" of the Internet. They open the door, turn on the lights, and as the dist…

Or the joke: Those who can't do, teach. And those who can't teach? Infosec.
