I remember in the old days of the discovery channel or maybe it was the learning channel they had surgery videos. Very interesting, very gory.

Seems about right, in the sense that these advertising companies are just fine dealing with scammers / taking their money … but there are corners of the same company that also have reasons to not allow that behavior and it becomes a ci

Meanwhile random griefer types work the Google system just fine. For whatever reason some randos altering business hours and posting mass quantities of weird maps reviews, closed updates stay up. Meanwhile on YouTube when I’m not getting

My understanding from articles, they had scientists hard at work trying to get their machine to work and the issues that were essentially maintenance (you really couldn’t have a testing machine like this that didn’t require expensive /

I’ve had “Boss I can fix this in one line of code.” situations, but nobody of 6 people wanted to make the call despite involving themselves excessively. So nothing got done. So the temperature on the issue went up. So management whose failu

We have been building them for decades without problems at the scale we’re talking about them now. There’s a few in my area that have huge green space around them as per local government and I’d love to live near them…. You got big open gr

I’ve had more than one client tell me they want to collect drivers license images for various reasons. Somewhere in the inane executive brain world there are some folks who seem to see some unspecified value in collecting driver’s license i

It’s wild. It’s one of those “Do we have to tell you people to not do this?!?!?”

A coworker of mine once answered the wrong cell phone and said the wrong company name. (He was working for a competitor as well as our company.) Another turned his computer that “wouldn’t behave” into IT, full of porn.

I’ll take it a step further and say I think the current music player-isms UX is just not easy to use and gets in my way of enjoying music…

Yeah I’m inclined to agree. Even with choices of services and their choices on the internet… it’s just not a priority for most users in a way that matters.

Being able to ask the dumb questions but then get focused on something more technical is so nice. Get examples on demand. It helps me pickup and understand new things pretty fast.

Yup. I take the time to review and adjust my code… regardless the source. It works. Well most of the time but either way that’s on me.

They don't really care about any of that. The NRA has been a slush fund for it's leadership for a while.

It just seems somewhat more efficient to take all the computing storage, memory processes, processors, or at least all the money that go into it… the in one spot. If you’re running a big task or small, everything scales to the appropriate s

I’ve wanted the idea of a home server or even home “mainframe” and some terminals for me and family forever but the idea never takes off….

I don’t blame them, even if you cut a deal the president sees something on social media and comes back for more tariffs.

It’s not common as far as overall jobs go. The weird exceptions and stories get more attention online, make them seem more frequent than they are. I’ve never worked anywhere or been interviewed at a place that asked this absurd schedule o

Is $8m …. a lot to make something big happen here? I’m unsure how many devs and how much gets done with $8m.

It makes no sense that front line patrol officers would have access to those cameras. They're not detectives, and that much access should have flagged him to high heaven.

I certainly sympathize that folks love the hardware but more often as I work I want to simplify and just avoid accessories that require anything like this. Having said that very cool project / nice of those folks to do it.

I feel like smartphones are just evolutionary items now, there will be ups and downs in terms of upgrades and that's it. With google the added question though is, are they losing interest again?

I'm not convinced that people who want to work from home are magically motivated differently by work and to do work than others... They're human, better and worse, like everyone else.

Yeah it is not a remote good / office bad thing. I work remote when and how I want, it's great. But there's days and even weeks where "I just want to go in" and that's helpful with meetings, work, socialization

My government is just dumb as a box of rocks. It's like they heard of the ICC from a facebook meme and develop policy around that.
