A slight tangent here is a technical deep dive on Voyager 1 fixing a memory corruption error in 2023 by hand 15 billion miles away. Blows my mind of the reverse engineering done to…

100 percent can relate on the relentless curiosity of a child. I was dumbfounded yesterday by this question -> if cars go at high speed, and breaks stop it suddenly, how come the f…

This is supercool. But I have a tangential question. I see projects like this built on top of OSM for different use cases. Does this data gets contributed back to OSM. A lot of the…

Looks like my approach is as old school as it gets. For complex piece of work, the only way to be in flow for me is when I'm driving the engagement. I start with a high level requi…

Assuming you live in a crazy big house (1000 m2), it cleaned your house 74000 times. Given S5 was released 8 years ago, even approximating it to 10, that's 20 times a day. I can im…

Its not, if you dont trust Anthropic, I hope you trust Daniel Steinberg of curl, who has said AI has gotten really good at detecting bugs and vulnerabilities. Here is his LinkedIN …

So Mozilla is not part of this consortium, i'm guessing for deliberate reasons to make safari and chrome the default browsers. I don't think Firefox can survive the upcoming attack…

@dang maybe a candidate for reposting as the original posting did not get much traction

Best way to deal with this is take them to small claims court. If enough people do this, They have to send representations that will cost them enough to stop such nonsense.

Micropayments gives me flexibility that subscription doesn't. I'm happy to pay $5 a month just to read Matt Levin. I'm not paying $40 for Bloomberg subscription. It also gives publ…

Whenever technically more capable folks diss the growth of a non technical person into bigger roles, I'm obligated to post this Steve Jobs video being asked about Java. https://www…
