Sometimes I wonder if I am in a bubble. This has not been my experience at all. A few examples: We have a sailboat and it has a turbo diesel engine, which is unusual (for a sailboat). Purely mechanical and I understand small diesel engines

When these tools were set up, on every code change you had to run these tools and deal with the output of anything it thought was a memory bug - part of the dev cycle before you could commit your code. Did you have to scan the code looking

And I can assure you that there were a number of MS research developed tools for finding memory bugs that have been used for decades at MS. There was never a don’t look / don’t fix policy while I was there. Quite the contrary.

I stumbled into this same workflow idea. I hadn't really used anything other that Chat GPT Sol (medium) and when I wanted to start using code agents, I just asked GPT how to start. This evolved into having GPT do the brainstorming and

Except the steel armature inside can turn to hidden rust and if you do something and crack the ferro hull they can be a total loss. A lot were home built so finding a quality build is another issue. There’s a reason insurance won’t touch th

I wrote software for a company that did legal forms on a PC - used by those same users that mastered WordPerfect for DOS. Those users typically had lower powered PCs even as Windows was slowly gaining traction in the market. Lawyers were sl

I was just there this week and it has of course changed a lot. I was also there in either 73 or 74 as a kid - the visitor center has also grown a lot since then. Well worth the visit (and you really need two days to see everything - we spen

I was recently in a friend’s Tesla model 3 for the first time and all the buttons on the doors simply had a dash “-“ on them. No information about what they were for at all. Same dash for opening the windows and the opening the door. But no

Having witnessed a large commercial ship going 15 kts run over a smaller 30 foot sailboat I can assure you it was not “pushed aside” unless by aside you mean pushed under.

Except, what happens when apps get removed from the iOS App Store and moved to another store for distribution? If people want to continue or need to use those apps then they would have to use these other app stores. What if those apps moved

I have a pretty vivid memory of reading an article in the late 70’s or 80’s in a computer magazine (BYTE?) of a hardware/software project to digitize piano rolls. They were digitizing original Gershwin (he created a lot of piano rolls)

Anecdotal I know but my app converts from free trials at 4x iOS vs Android. Has done so for years and years. Same app, same price, same audience (North American boaters). Similar free trial numbers too. Niche app that sells at a higher pric

For better or worst, Fb has become the de facto place for cruising sailors to share information about different regions of the world. Tips, alerts, advice, questions, etc. I sail the world and there is no other place for groups quite as goo

I recently searched for LFP bikes and found basically none. Would love to have one though as keeping one on a boat I would only feel safe with a high quality LFP at the capacity needed.

I really like this and I think it is off to a good start. But I also think there will be interesting/hard corner cases (such as offline/reparse point files - I logged a request for that in Discord). I don't think it needs to

This is an idea that I’ve long wanted to explore. It’s along the lines of using the GEFS weather model, where the standard deviation model output parameter can be used to predict how settled a model run is. Anything you can share? I would l

Fun fact: the DOS version of the Cakewalk music software in the late 80's had a scripting language (CAL) that was very loosely based on Lisp. The author (Greg Hendershott) later went on to write a lot about Lisp.

That would be good. Easy enough to filter Intel vs AMD that way as well as a particular CPU.

And where were these rebranded Sumo's? We only saw Sumo's this year for $4-5/lb nearly everywhere we looked. Were these rebranded things really Sumo's or did they just look like Sumo's. I did see something that look

We’ve been living with credit freezes for over 10 years now, ever since a bunch of fraud incidents (thanks leaky IRS). Only ever have to deal with it when we need credit (rarely), putting in for a temporary lift. Bonus is we get zero refina
