Having worked at multiple large companies more often than not the truth is there are 5 levels of approval for every tweet that goes out and writing a single blog post can take months. The smart companies out source their gorilla marketing t

I was at the same dose of concerta for a decade. I just recently increased to the next dosage. At this rate I'll top out of dosage sometime around when I retire. It really isn't on my list of concerns.

Part of diagnostic criteria is how long something lasts. If you have a really good week you aren't going to get diagnosed with mania. If you have a really good month where you quit your job, move to Italy, and try to start a new job ca

Yeah goodie bags are totally a thing. Really well thought out goodie bags are a treat, they follow the theme of the party and they have memorable (even if low priced) gifts. Most goodie bags are filled with disposable toys that break after

I've already granted it permissions to do everything outside the sandbox. It still starts off in the sandbox anyway. :/

My favorite part (codex thing) is how it runs all commands twice, every time. Once on a sandbox, realizes nothing works in its sandbox, then again outside the sandbox. Fucking hell.

All non-trivial code terra has generated for me has had at least one serious bug in it. Typically caught by a review from myself or Sol. But I wouldn't trust lower tier models for end to end solutions.

My program failed those people out hard and early. Two of the freshman classes were weed out classes and they did their job well.

I listen to lots of music. Music controls are super useful to me. I mainly own my watch for notifications and calendar reminders. Timers, again every day. To each their own.

I went to a 2nd tier state school in the early mid 2000s. For our senior project class, one group of students successfully incorporated as a startup and sold their project to the city as a SaSS app, and my group ended up open sourcing our c

I got bit by this with redis a couple years ago. The default install on my VPS's distro had it open to the world by default, and it even configured UFW for me (gee thanks!) No password, owned within seconds of install. :/

It is safe to assume anything Darren Korb works on has an amazing OST. Heck even the games that aren't that good (of which there is arguably only 1) have an amazing OST.

Pretty sure my choosing to work for companies ran by stable sane people is responsible for the complete lack of drug fueled orgy invites on my calendar. Actually the one drugs + stripper party I was invited to was so damn sad and pathetic I

50% of a gas burner's power goes into the air. Every test done comparing residential gas vs induction burners has shown induction burners heat up pots and pans faster than gas. Induction puts ~98% of the energy right into your pan. (Ba

Induction is faster than gas. I had an issue when I first got induction where I'd warp my pans because I turned the stove up to max and the metal would get so hot so fast the bottom of the pan would bend. Oops. Lesson learned.

Counterpoint - my dirt cheap entry level induction cooktop has been incredibly reliable. We cook intensely with it almost every day and have done so for years. Do I wish it was smarter? Sure. Is it faster to heat water than my old gas stove

The upper end is all about coding. If I have terra on extra high write code, Sol will find a plethora of bugs and rip the code apart. Anything else? Sure use a cheaper model.

A byte is quite real. On old machines you could open them up and literally point to where bytes were physically stored in memory. Now days of course the chips are small so you have to point to where the multiple gigabyte chips are at. But t
