When I'm using BlueCruise, I can't look at a sign beside the road without beeping warning me to keep my eyes on the road. There are few roads where BlueCruise even remains active f…

Both Ra and There Is No Antimemetics Department by the same author are absolutely top-tier works.

I don't follow the last point in your argument. Isn't 4 equivalent to, 'no civilization will invent casual interstellar travel/spread to the stars'? And isn't that hypothesis extre…

Absolutely right-- the warning is only necessary if they're not hashing the password before templating the string prior to storage.

Don't hash the password on the client. That just changes the password to the hash of the password. Parameterize the SQL on the server instead of concatenating strings.

The Rebol language appears to have 59 data types. http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/datatypes.html

1. _Material_ licensing fees for use of protected content. NYT will have grounds for punitive damages (over 100K per work per infringing use), enough money to make OpenAI and even …

Oddly enough, I _was_ serious about this, and it _does_ work. Doesn't have to be too obvious, either, with practice.

Compared to virtually every other link that comes up in any product review search, Wirecutter stories still do stand out for having clearly been written by actual human beings with…

There used to be a Microsoft store in the big mall near me. It turned into a babysitting service for parents who dropped their kids off to play with the Xbox.

At this point, I hope that Apple says absolutely nothing about a headset, not even a word, at WWDC and answers every question with the same "We don't comment on unreleased products…

That's a first for me -- sudden unexpected conspiracy-themed vpn ad in the middle of a an interesting build

1Password deleted more of my accounts than that when it crashed the v8 upgrade. SK

This is not hard to read. The main novelty is pattern matching itself, which is making its way into languages that are used (java, javascript, etc) from languages that are interest…

To put it another way, irresponsible use of content without permission is a serious risk that generative AI startups are embracing without bothering to understand.

It's _way_ more obvious, and idiotic, than you're making it sound. For instance, someone sounds like he's replying to a question in the meeting, except they're talking about [ERP a…
