I realized early on that sometimes management thinks that if you don't look stressed than your not taking it seriously enough. Phrases like "I don't feel that you have a sense of u…

I have a old keyboard (Ensoniq SQ1-Plus) where the battery doesn't work right (even when changed) and I was going to put ML Studio on a Raspberry Pi or Mini PC with a USB MIDI devi…

With me (I have ADHD), I would never be able to listen to an audiobook alone, I would zone out and day dream one paragraph in. But If I'm playing a game on my phone, I can listen a…

Not sure where I first heard this, but I say it to my team all the time: "Programming is thinking, not typing"

The only thing I liked when I did use Facebook was the "wall". To be able to post on a friend's wall semi- publically where their friends can see it. Most other Facebook clones hav…

This may be pure conjecture, but my first thought is always that it might be a marketing ploy by the AI companies to make their products seem more advanced than they really are.

I would imagine, in this example, that the fact that you put in the numbers yourself gives you a mental map of where the numbers are and how they relate to each other, that having …

It felt the same way when AOL bought Time Warner.

I don't have a reliable source, but I've heard that the original script had the machines use us for our processing power, not our energy, but that the studio thought it sounded too…

I used to use XSLT all the time, but I had forgotten all about and haven't used it in years. It was perfect to do a quick SQL query with "for xml auto" and then add an XSLT stylesh…

I also do the text file thing. I use EditPad Pro. The only additional thing I've done is create syntax coloring in any file named 'tasks-*.txt'. I added simple things like: - Color…

This is the same thing the media did with "hacker".

My phone NEVER connects properly and if I want to use it for streaming, I have to spend 2-3 minutes connecting it every time. This has always been the case. Past 3 cards, past 6 ph…

I don't think the author was referring to thinking or consciousness itself, but things like the processes within cells and the replication of DNA.

A related thing that happens a lot is when the demo is way slower than it was when you were testing it. But at least this one can be explained by screen sharing applications adding…

It should be noted that this wasn't free - as you said, you had to sit through a 30 minute ad before participating.

Something happens when you tune your business only to the things you can measure. I still (or at least try to still) have this naive opinion that if you make a good product, the mo…
