This brought out an audible chuckle from me. Definitely stealing this and sharing this site with a few co-workers who are heavily into manga/anime. Thanks for the laugh.

You're not far off. Anecdotal but I shared the Anthropic demo video and a few articles in a company slack and a lot of PM's/admin folks that are only tangentially aware of LLM powered use cases at this point shared that senti

Very cute and charming, random offensive content from anonymous users not withstanding. I was pleasantly surprised that zooming with the browser works relatively well to help make things a bit clearer and easier to rid. I had to squint pret

Hatchet was one of my favorite books growing up. I believe the first time I read it I was in 4th grade if that helps you gage (it was pretty common in 4th and 5th grades if I recall correctly). That said, my mother was a librarian and didn&

Refreshing the page consistently is amusing. Next feature might be to add a slider and animate the degradation over time for each visit like a time lapse!

I've only heard it used as a synonym to "jittery" or hyper-active in my region of the states (mid-west). Good to know it's considered offensive in places, not that I really use the word. I had a colleague in school that

Was going to post the same. I can't go a week without listening to Bill, Chick or Hiromi at some point. There is a YouTube video of dualing pianos with Chick and Hiromi, it's one of my most watched. They are both just out of this

I mostly agree but I also think AWS is probably more in the public consciousness than most people would think (in the US anyway). They have TV advertisement slots with NFL for crying out loud. That said, most people probably don't actu

This is the first thing that came to my mind reading the headline as well. I'm sure Apple has a head start on R&D and of course they are an amazing organization with plenty of resources but overcoming the engineering challenges req

To be fair, Red Dead has it's fair share of bugs as well, especially on release. I agree with you in that I don't think I've ever played a large open world game that didn't have a lot of bugs and I'm not an overly o

The other point that could go along with this is that often, based on constraints like cost and time, most people can develop a more stable solution using tools they know vs tools that are new to them. It takes time and often working throug

Great article, generating consistent design docs that are both useful and not too time-consuming to create is something I am constantly working on. One thing I struggle with is finding examples of what others are doing in the industry. Does

"...20 tons of fuel per hour..." holy cow. Pretty impressive statistics all around, apparently the A380 uses closer to 12.5 tons per hour to put it in perspective.

Casio comes to mind when coming up with EL devices for example. The classic G-shock I have on my wrist right now touts a "Electro Luminescent Backlight", though I rarely use the light.

Thanks for mentioning this. R-Type is one of my all time favorites, can't wait to give it a read.

This my first time seeing Hledger let alone the Emacs integration so thanks for posting this. I've previously used and.co for tracking work, costs and invoicing for some simple contract work but the idea of having a plain text alternat

I wouldn't be so sure. In the article linked they mention that J. Christopher Giancarlo, chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, stated "The SEC is devoting a significant portion of its resources to the ICO market...

Chip and signature is the norm in brick and mortar stores in the USA. Even then, many purchases will not require a signature unless the transaction is over a certain amount, typically $50. Many card issuers were too nervous to go full chip

Most enterprise's on .NET are windows shops. There is very little incentive in my opinion to run .NET core when you're a windows shop as it doesn't provide any real-world benefits/features yet that are beyond what you ge

According to the patent, the drones would not fly back up to the airship but rather they would fly to collection center on land, be loaded into a smaller ship with other supplies and then flown back to the large airship. Presumably with the

Well to be fair, I think many people consider the snacks (soda, popcorn, candy) to be part of the movie going experience so it's hard to resist the urge to splurge. You're not wrong but there is a lot of years of marketing and per

Totally anecdotal but I had the same experience. Playing Pokemon Go prompted me to go on a nostalgia-fest and purchase red and green on VC for my 3DS. I wouldn't be surprised if the core game sales are seeing an uptick from the interes

This is closer to the core issue in my opinion. Wal-Mart and Home Depot do not want to support processing EMV Debit cards as credit. Most debit processing rails require PIN data to process the transaction. Running a debit card using the sig

I love the project categories. "Monetizing children" is a personal favorite.

You're correct. From my understanding, most issuers have determined that Chip and Signature is secure enough for the US market provided they support DDA. Both of my EMV cards do not even provide a way to create a PIN for them. It will

This would only be an issue for those that don't authorize with the issuer immediately when the card is read. The issuer would know the service code read by the pin pad and should be able to determine that it is incorrect based on the
