I just finished reading this book, which came out this year. Lightning Beneath the Sea: The Race to Wire the World and the Dawn of the Information Age by James M. Tabor (Author) Ab…

Code review - it's now baked in to Claude Code and Codex CLI.

If you look closely at the author list, you can see that some of the same names still hang out here, which is pretty cool. It's also fun just to look at the article titles to see w…

Interestingly enough, Envirolink's web search engine had bibliometric search ranking in 1996. It only searched a small subset of the web - mostly around environment advocacy. I bui…

I tried the onboarding, but I think it timed out on the Analyzing screen because it couldn't find any issues in my Sentry environment. So I couldn't get too much further. EDIT: It …

It's still around!

SOAP was actually pretty easy to use, once it settled out. For the most part, everyone used some kind of SDK that translated WSDL (Web Services Description Language) specifications…

I'm building this over at https://zapcircle.com/ - it's still a work in progress, but it's all open source. The idea behind it was that Behavior-Driven Development might be a great…

This was a great article! I saw "To Fly!" for the first time at the Smithsonian Air and Space Dulles location (Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center) on their IMAX screen two years ago. Defi…

I'm having the LLM work with human-readable behaviors for each component. You can have the LLM take those behaviors and create a Mermaid diagram, for instance.

It seems a little counterintuitive, but you can ask an LLM to improve a prompt. They are quite good at it.

San Francisco is both a city and a county, unlike San Jose. In addition, you can't directly compare municipal budgets without taking into account enterprise departments that are me…

That's kind of what they were trying to do with the 320 and 540. I worked on their e-commerce store, you could configure and buy and ship one from the web site in 1999-2000. The pr…

I worked out of the SGI campus before it got sold to Google, and I remember the on-site cafe there was amazing. I don't know how much Google changed about it, I've never been. As a…

Austin was supposed to be the next big tech hub since at least the late 90's and the dot-com boom/bust. I don't think the Oracle headquarters change makes a huge difference, but I …

I worked on the SGI campus as a consultant/vendor to them in 1999/2000 during the dot.com boom. I really wanted one of those 1600SW flat screens (everything was CRT back then), but…

I met Paul in 1999 after a show they did in Austin with Crystal Method and Lo Fidelity All-Stars. I was a nerdy 20 year old who had no business hanging out with a bunch of EDM supe…

Something like the GitHub certification? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/collections/o1njfe825p602p

You could checkout Nixpacks - https://nixpacks.com/docs/getting-started - if you want a solution to build images as part of a CI/CD pipeline.

If you dig into those numbers, they lost 3.8 million subscribers in India due to losing streaming rights for cricket matches. I don't think that's a reasonable lens to be looking a…

I'm probably the target market for this, and I think it's going to have a hard time selling. I currently pay for XBox Game Pass Ultimate at $15/month. That comes with 400 games, al…

You could try FreeCodeCamp - it's a different style of learning, but it might be useful for you. There are some sections on HTML and CSS, or you can jump straight into Bootstrap: h…

Houston Public Library membership is open to all Texas residents. Their web site is currently not working for me, but I would assume it will be back up and running shortly.

I think the biggest problem you might face for getting money out of it by self publishing is that it doesn't have a clear audience - at least from the way you describe it. It sound…
