    Nice. There are a few instances of this online, but you could (should) extend it by adding country, gender etc to give a more accurate and sense of foreboding mortality. The averag…

    Perhaps... it can be toxic if you dip into the comments sometimes... Otherwise the content and links are the stuff of gold!

    I always feel sad reading about the passing of folks who, frankly, were complete trail-blazers! Mike Included. The first time I came across a Star Wars cabinet, I was hooked. I rem…

    OP here. I posted this as I'm continually troubled by tech recruitment - I think it's fundamentally broken and has been for years now. I'm verging on writing a long post on it, but…

    I don't know about anyone else, but that box of assorted pastries/doughnuts should been rapidly consumed after hearing the news!

    It depends on how much you need to love or are shaped by a job. 'Live to work' or 'work to live'.

    An interesting article and discussion points. Like all theatres of tech, there are great companies and terrible companies to work for. The terrible (big) ones usually pay very well…

    There are a lot of weeds to get into on the subject of philosophy here and demonstrated by the comments. However, Dennett contributed a lot in terms of thinking and arguments... We…

    Thanks. Interesting... I had always thought it was written by Emerson having had it in printed form for more than 20 years. It appears as though it was misattributed by others orig…

    Off the top of my head: Make the plexiglass removable (lift to remove/drop to fix in place) OR in a groove at the bottom, fasteners at the top. This would remove any issues with in…

    This made me think of Ralph Waldo Emerson's poem "What is success": To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the app…

    Damn. I was hoping to be the fastest gun in the west on this one!

    It's 'oldskool' _ although, frankly, if someone can't find it on a keyboard, they should be condemned to a life full of auto-correct errors.

    I wonder just how many images of the eclipse were taken and then uploaded as a result... I witnessed one years ago and was completely awe-struck by it - or more, how tiny we all ar…

    There's a lot of chaff in the comments, but put bluntly - you aren't going to find a good tech co-founder randomly, online or through some hypothetically attractive matching servic…

    There's a simple irony in it all. AI's perceived value is based upon and built from human creativity - remove it (and its evolution) and it will end in grey/brown sludge.

    This is a great project! Just forwarded to 7 people to help them work through LLMs. Kudos.

    So this is the discus event? Curious to see the shot put equivalent - old UPS units nestled into ones neck before launch?

    This article has made me feel decidedly old, given that I've used all of the repositories listed at one time or another. Of all words I could utter to induce fear and an instant pa…

    Regardless of all the exacting comments, this is one of the most astonishing accounts and content on a topic I've seen for years; beautifully delivered and interactive to boot.

    I couldn't agree more - they are exceptional. One of the best bits about them other than the flavour, is that I think something like one in 10 or 12 peppers is hot. Pepper roulette…
