Very neat. I work for a small manufacturer and wanted to implement LED signage like i had at my old gig: show machine speed, job info, etc. But the signs we used before were serial…

Incredible! Thanks for sharing

Wow, Journeyman project brings back memories. I got this game for Christmas and wasn’t really bright enough to get through the whole thing at 7 but it was a really interesting game…

What a wonderful project. Bookmarked for the next time I need something nice in the terminal :) Way to go, team.

Yeah, totally. He only printed things a few times a year and by then inkjets usually dry and print poorly. I don't fault him but it's interesting to these strange market forces in …

Just an anecdote: my grandfather passed away a few years ago and he was always into new technology. After he passed when we were cleaning up his home we found no fewer than 11 inkj…

As someone who is literally starting an IT department from scratch, this is a really exciting list for me to dig into. There are old favorites like 'mythical man month' that I'm ge…

I took a position to help stand up an IT department for a local manufacturer. In the next year or two we'll be bringing on some more staff to help maintain day-to-day operations an…

I work in an organization with a lot of internal line-of-business apps for manufacturing. While there might be hundreds or thousands of users, the problem just doesn't really warra…

I love daft punk and had countless nights in college studying, gaming, and coding to their albums. I will continue to love their music but totally understand wanting to move onto s…

The Nasa person they have helping narrate what's going on is so genuinely happy the landing went well. It made me kinda tear up. It's infectious just how excited all these people a…

I know nothing about this tech but could you copy a whole drive bit by bit onto another drive and keep the original while “using up” attempts on a donor drive?

Pretty bold claim that 2080TIs are going to sell for $250 in a month, lol. Certainly the market for them will take a beating compared to new prices now. But I can't imagine it coll…

As a developer for some sleepy enterprise apps, I am very impressed at how companies like Zoom, Microsoft, and such can scale to handle this increased load so gracefully. I'm guess…

I work for a very large player in the print industry (which is transitioning to 'multichannel marketing solutions provider'). I feel like my company has done the best they can (giv…

Basically, yes. Here's an excellent Planet Money article I heard yesterday going over this issue: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/13/815307821/planet-money-why-th... At least in the US…

trickle down economics and the myth of tax cuts automatically generating enough economic growth are just that: myths, that have been debunked. I'm just heading out the door, so I a…

I live in the midwest and there's a Frys up by Chicago. I drove up there during the holidays in hopes I might be able to snag my wife a nice monitor off the floor. I was absolutely…

This is fascinating. I work for a large enterprise that has basically written its own ERP from scratch. There's a lot of rough edges but it's very tailored for our workflow and pro…

I am doing a short 'primer' for my developer colleagues on GraphQL, this came up just in time. Thanks for the terrific resource!

As someone who works in manufacturing, I can't count the number of times I've been told to "just make it work". And, in reality, sometimes that truly is the best option in the imme…

I just watched a fascinating video on 18th century cooking where this same kind of fish (cod) is prepared: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdzAt6e1l-c I thought the step where they…

Evil? I think you might mean "microsofts priorities don't align with my own".

Man, people are salty about this. I've been a long-time .net developer and the changes in the last few years have felt really refreshing, even as someone deeply in the microsoft ec…
