This. I had a huge problem with static shocking my desk in the dry winter air, causing my monitor to blank out for a few seconds. A small, quiet ultrasonic humidifier completely eliminated the problem. On a side note, distilled water is hig

Yep, there is always the human factor. Leave a USB drive in a parking lot, someone will insert it. You don't even need an obvious drive anymore, a malicious cable will suffice.

I miss the days when the big security concern was quantum breaking contemporary encryption. Air gaps and local stacks are overdue for a comeback.

I'd forgotten about PageMaker. I was on my college newspaper staff and we used it for layout. It was a small college in the rural midwest, so the local newspaper ran our copies. They didn't use digital tools, so we printed our con

Thanks for sharing - I hadn't seen that video. I'm a fan of Technology Connections on YT. I've sent his Nyquist-Shannon video to several friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWjdWCePgvA

I experienced ChatGPT confidently giving incorrect answers about the Schwarzchild radius of the black hole at the center of our galaxy, Saggitarius A-star. Both when asked about "the Scharzchild radius of a black hole with 4 million so

> AI projects, like much of digital technology, need to be regulated far more heavily than they currently are. The ideology of “permissionless innovation” so cherished by tech leaders is antidemocratic to its core. People like David Golu

I agree. A live chat support option, appropriately staffed, is often the most expedient way to get help. I work configuring contact center software. Chat agents are often more experienced, "tech savvy", and less overloaded than ph

This is the crux of the issue. If society places value on more future taxpayers, it needs to create the environment where more people want to create future taxpayers. We would have "probably" been fine having a couple kids, but in

Man, I miss webrings. I could rabbit-hole down a group of sites about a particular interest for hours.

I read 4 months of severance, plus 2 weeks per year of service (likely up to a maximum?), 6 months of health insurance paid, plus job placement services from a 3rd-party vendor. That's more than fair.

Funny... my roommates and I used "just" for comedic effect in college. I was stuck writing an algorithm and asked my more-experienced roommate for help. He briefly scanned my code and said, "well, you kind of just... code it.

If Elon can get enough publishers on board I'd gladly pay more than $8/mo. Maybe offer a tiered system. Or better yet, choose-your-own. $8/mo: Choose 2 $12/mo: Choose 4 $15/mo: Choose 6 etc. Then people vote with th

That one still kills me. By Carmack's comment, surprised him too.

Same conclusion here. Pushing 500+ watts through surface-mount solder joints is pure negligence.

At my last company, we had 12 identical Facebook apps working as service-to-service messaging integrations. They chose to have 12 apps due to data sovereignty reasons, separating implementations in different regions. For each permission we

I live near Carmel, Indiana, the roundabout capital of the US. Small ones, large ones, figure 8's, figure... double-peanut-looking things with elevated crossovers near interstate junctions. They work well and keep traffic moving. But t

Having an absolute shit-show for a healthcare and education system falls under "not perfect". I'll freely admit a good many Americans (even most) would be better off living in Europe. But there are many of us that just can&#x

France has similar restrictions. French courts tried to restrict eBay from selling Nazi memorabilia to French citizens. I don't like it. Which is why I choose to continue living in the US. It's not perfect by any stretch but peopl

All I can say is "welcome to hell". I had a job managing ~13 Facebook Apps and permissions, which I left in August for greener pastures. The opportunity not to work with Facebook (or WhatsApp or Instagram) was a huge reason.

I've seen several job postings requiring 10 years' experience with the cloud platform I work with. It released in 2015. I always go by the "75% rule" - if I meet 75% of requirements they ask for, I apply. You never know

Unintended by the legislators, maybe, but I'd wager this punitive reaction by Facebook is very intentional. Many EU businesses are going to have their commerce and customer service flows break 9 days before Christmas. It will be intere
