Old Ryobi, or new Ryobi? Serious question, as I understand the ex-Japanese market rights were sold to a Chinese corp over two decades ago, and the in-Japanese consumer device marke…

The way I learned it was: "99 bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code... Fix one bug, compile it again, 101 bugs in the code!" (To the tune of 99 Bottles Of Beer)

"Your new models are great, but uh... How exactly am I supposed to use them?" That is, given a lot of users' contexts, the way they can and the way they want to use these models ar…

I believe it's much to do with blue light emitted by screens: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9424753/

You've probably got a certain level of trust or delegated authority, but you want input and you're giving your leadership the opportunity to steer the decision if they feel they ne…

They literally gamified it? Amazing.

> they are the most repairable. That's a really weird way to spell "incumbency and network effects". In fairness, you're not wrong, but that seems to be a very specific framing tha…

Yes, perhaps they do allow for greater flexibility, but that's complex and difficult to do well/reliably, and doing it well/reliably requires signal analysis gear and software mode…

"I'm just asking questions!" Probably for a number of reasons, starting from our desire as a society to ensure they are as broadly applied as possible, which is in turn driven by o…

Probably not in the way that you might mean it, but for me (Xoogler, 2010 - 2023) internalizing bazel means: "Hey, where's your tool's code in $MONOREPO?" " " Cool: g4d my-citc-cli…

Wild to see the usenet/uuencoding model reproduced on the web w/ jpegs.

That's a feature, not a bug /s

Probably both, to respond to the risk tolerances of any given org.

It's been interesting to review my portfolio, such as it is, against this situation, and see that I'm down relatively little. Not because I've bet against anything per se, but I ma…

I'm reminded of people inside Google arguing with Vic Gundotra to drop the Real ID requirement for Plus :(

> There are outcomes where the US government seizes the company. Not super likely, not impossible. Are there historical examples in the US specifically where we've nationalized a b…

I can't speak to their quality, but every time I see their name, I wonder about how they're received in England: Americans might generally be unaware, but "smeg" as a name doesn't …

Some of us have hands (and wrists and arms) that are dealing with RSI. Keyboard use reduction is very important in these cases. Greg Priest Dorman [0][1] had other physical issues …

Various European cities come to mind: Narrow streets are something of a trope in certain movies/genres.
