Awesome! I hope you'll post some write up or something on how you did it!

I really wish they'd repurpose public libraries for this.

It only takes one student to lose an arm, face, life and their parents will sue the school into oblivion and start PAPT (parents against power tools) or something "for the kids!" I…

I have, it's called Visual Studio Code and I ditched my old native editor(s) for it. I'd even suggest that the fact that it's JS based has significantly changed the tech world beca…

Google Maps allows you declare your allegiance. You can mark a business as LGBTQ+ friendly (why should I have to declare that and it not just be assumed?). https://blog.google/outr…

MUJI used to have lots of that (20-25yrs ago). Shelves made from cardboard tubes, etc... You could tell, one bump and it would be destroyed. I think they got rid of most of them.

> #1 Understand the system: Read the manual, read everything in depth, know the fundamentals, know the road map, understand your tools, and look up the details. Maybe I'm mis-under…

Mario has "slot machines" in, even today

I've been on the internet as long as you and from my POV it changed a ton. The biggest changes to me are (1) social media via smartphones - letting everyone trivially post to every…

exceptions in C++ are a foot gun. Even the top C++ gurus/leaders know this and are trying to find some new solution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=os7cqJ5qlzo

> Easy way to use libraries This is both a blessing and a curse. Seeing the rust docs require 561 crates makes it clear that rust/cargo is headed down the same path as node/npm Dow…

I agree there hasn't been a super strong reason to upgrade in the last 10 years. I just disagree with "I will never need to buy a new computer again". I suspect at some point the n…

"640k is all you need!" There is always new tech. Local LLMs and other high processing intensive things might be a thing people want. Not directly, but it may enable things they wa…

The top end of OutRut type tech was Power Drift and Rail Chase https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ngUCwEVtlI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQd3FFT7pnc

Sounds like COM/DCOM from ~1995. Every API had a public interface including a description. You could open the DCOM Inspector, browse all the APIs, and see the type signature of eve…

What's giving me burnout is work from home. I got much of my social needs met by working at work with people I liked. We'd talk. We'd go to lunch. We'd meet up after work and on we…

Very cool. I know this is not a related solution but just want to remind people that Google maps has a 3D mode. I do wonder if they are planning to get rid of it because they are b…

Types are not enough to solve this issue https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2005/05/11/making-wrong-code-...

At the company I work at, IMO, their DEI initiatives are counter productive so they claim "we support DEI", but in actual practice they're making the problem worse not better. It m…

not looking at how bad the new LG remote is but my all time favorite remote is the Apple remote from like 2010ish. This one : https://discussions.apple.com/content/attachment/94960…

I've never heard any solar physicist refer to "Sun". I have heard "the Sun" and "Our Sun". "The Boss said please take the day off" "Our Boss is nice" "Jill is the boss" "The Sun is…

I went to them 25 years ago as well. I get the same thing from the organized promoted ones as I got from the old ones. I didn't need it to be "underground". I just needed the peopl…

what is the definition of a rave at this point? Large crowds of people dancing in or outdoors to techno music is still a HUGE thing. There's video of tons of them on youtube. If of…

I know lots of people that eat 1 pound of dried mango, usually sugared but often not.
