I recently took "the compound effect" out at the library. It was one of the worst pieces of "success grifter" bullshit I've read (audiobook) in over 10 years. A steaming pile of trash from the founder of "Succe

I wrote a layoff database for Nortel Networks from ~1998 to 2001. The way I got my notice of termination was while I was running some tests on the production database and needed a "negative" so I searched for a userid that was not

It makes me wonder if it would be possible to build a chip-manufacturing plant for any reasonable amount of money to produce these chips that don't need to be 7nm GPU powerhouses, but like the old clunker chips that can't get atte

The hot tub bikini thing pretty strictly confirms to the twitch terms of service. If not necessarily the "spirit" ... but at the end of the day, these women are right. They're literally not hurting anyone. IMO the best soluti

You're just so right! I'm expecting to take on a roughly 14 week study course to fit the work required into the time I have after I've put my son to bed and around my day job. Oh yeah ... and that podcast I started about pro

So it took a few days for what you said to sink in. And there were a few other information sources that combined together to bring me to the conclusion that you're right. I've actually started writing a self-study course on passin

There is a better way. We're (mostly) hackers for bleep's sake. You don't think that this is something that we can disrupt? The only reason we accept it as the status quo is that people accept it and say "this is the

I think it is fair to say that no matter how much we go back and forth on this, we are never going to agree. The gulf between what you perceive and what I saw is far too great a chasm to cross. If we carried on, it'd probably get heate
