Honestly, it's remarkable how often they hold (or held, now that it's unpopular) people down in just that way. There's a few other not-nice ways to disable someone. Usually they don't die. Designing a protocol is not su

In terms of passwords, I just have them written down in a file that I print out in a desk drawer and keep a copy of in my email.

It isn't like Windows is a toy I admit. My view is that it's the result of decades worth of customer demands (scarcely any of which I need) and a tendency to feature creep to do major releases. The cruft in a thing like that is r

Did I miss the part of the article that mentioned the average size of houses over time? The increasing code requirements over time?

regarding George Floyd's history as a pregnant women stomach stickin' bad man, dunno if that counts. As a practical matter, I'd say it's more along the lines of just how do you control a crazy acting person without hurti

Gotta ask how old are you? I do remember a Playboy when it came out in 1971. The Willy Rey issue (girl on the stock certificate). Nice looking. Not only were Playboys pretty rare, but they were a different kettle of fish than any modern a

Here's what I miss, and it mostly just shows my age, and that's truly huge screens. Modern flat panels are so large/cheap that they're a no-brainer in place of most modern theatres. OTOH, the peripheral vision-spanning

Exactly. There's a bunch of opportunities for understanding by looking at different political units, but it's all lost in the posturing.

oh, bummer. So you'd need a clean tool chain too.

It's funny that leather boots are probably the easiest US-made thing to find (or Mexican-made). Maybe it's the lack of pieces that you find in a modern silly looking athletic shoe. It would be interesting to quantify the impact o

Weird, never heard of it. Does it overlap with Discreet or Softimage stuff?

Ooh. Maybe a sedan delivery wagon (two door, front seat only). I think there may have been some Chevelles like that.

Oh well, I figured that a PowerPC Notebook was for hobbyists. What I would find fascinating is to think about languages and OSs for FPGA and try to break loose from the utterly boring C/Unix/68k,x86,MIPS,blah paradigm. Having som

I figure someone might as well go whole-hog on that and build a PC with just a big ol' FPGA.

For me, programming for free would be painful at a cellular level. Better to learn the piano or how to do portrait art.

Thanks, I'll check it out. In order to really reach people with vision issues, it seems like places like Bank of America (just an example) need to do a good job of Alexa skills. Dunno how you deal with security. As a side note, it&#x2

I don't know a thing about how this works, but if it's a collision problem it sounds like these entry points need the equivalent of a GUID.

I can think of a brilliant use case, but it's the only one I can think of offhand. For the disabled, particularly blind people, it would be great to have interactive voice stuff if that whole ecosystem were really fleshed out. Some of
