For the last several months I've been looking for ways to try and control Codex. Sometimes I'm at my computer, sometimes I'm on the road, but I want it to be working while I'm away…

I was trying to root out Creative Cloud a few weeks back and it just refused to go away. Turns out there's a separate cleaner tool that you have to download to uninstall Creative C…

I think that part of the problem is a want versus a need. I don't particularly care if me and my wife don't sit together. We see each other all the time. But I don't want to have m…

There have been some interesting projects, like PHP on .NET [0] They have a version of Wordpress compiled into a NuGet package for Asp.Net Core [1] [0] https://www.peachpie.io [1] …

I would consider the documented performance targets [0] for a standard Azure Blob account to be very good. We're talking 60 Gbps in/120 Gbps out, with 20,000 requests per second as…

You can select exactly which monitors along with changing the order of monitors. It does require editing the file directly though. https://www.nextofwindows.com/how-to-remote-deskt…

These activities remind me a lot of playing SimCopter. Nothing quite beets the anxiety of getting shot at by some baddies in the city I built while trying to drop a rope ladder on …

Absolutely! I remember adding a bunch of rail to my cities just so I could do more train rescues or catching robbers on the trains. It was huge fun at the time…

Louis Rossmann works there now, and he has put out a number of videos about them over the past few months. The first couple of minutes of this video gives a nice overview: https://…

I’ve used it to write out 45 minute long lesson plans, help write complicated text message where all I’ve got is a bunch of points to make, I’ve had it correct my Portuguese since …

Maybe not, but they do look at that one because a bunch of books are totally in favor, and a bunch are either against it or ignore it, so coming up with a definitive answer was a r…

Nice, I’d love to have participated in their testing processes. They obviously treated it like a science and questioned a ton of institutional wisdom, and the results were fantasti…

Yeah, it was an investment for sure. But it has allowed us to save a ton of time every day (e.g. save 30 minute on the autolyse), make tweaks to our recipes to match our processes,…

Oh, I do software by trade. The bakery is because it started as a family business that I helped get off the ground. My background is in B2B payments and construction software. Even…

Commercial baker here. One place where this kind of math gets really weird is when the recipe uses multiple kinds of flours. We make a loaf that uses three kinds of flour, so this …

One of my favorite ways to show off enumerables to someone is with an endless list. It really makes someone think when I show an IEnumerable instance that contains every prime numb…

Yeah, which is probably why they cost thousands of dollars :( They do get programmed to compensate for the specific hearing loss of the individual, but if there was an easy way to …

Apple AirPods can behave a bit like a hearing aid. You can use the Live Listen feature on an iPhone to get an idea [0]. I’ve got a modern set of hearing aids that I actually ordere…

I took apart a 650,000 BTU oven burner this morning for cleaning, and had to clean out the oven exhaust damper that was starting to get build-up. Soon I’ll be at my desk programmin…

We bought the Concept2 SkiErg and Rower a while back specifically because they were used in gyms in the area and held up to daily abuse well. The quality is fantastic considering w…

My bank tried to add typing heuristics on the password box years ago. It wouldn’t lock you out, but you had to go through extra verification steps if you failed. I failed the test …

At the bakery I run we have to make a small number of extras of each product to account for issues (e.g. malformed roll, dropped on the floor while packing, sliced incorrectly, etc…

No one said we are exploiting our workers. That's just an assumption being made because it is not possible to pay everyone huge wages. And I am aware that labor creates value, but …
