This week I helped a colleague with a bug. He used an LLM to sort it out before telling me about it. I'm old fashioned, so I looked at the code, saw that it used an old lib and then I searched online for a newer version. Lo and behold,

This sort of thing should be labelled. Just as food has warnings (too much sugar, too much salt, etc), so electronics should be labelled: "requires online registration" and "captures conversations" and "scans your n

Someone at work said something along the lines of "so AI is going to write the documents and then people will use AI to summarise them". I think this is a good opportunity to rationalise bureaucracy but I fear we will only mindles

When I first found out about Tcl/Tk, it was used to give a GUI to programs written in C. I've used Tk with Tcl and many times with Perl too.

It's not only that it was text based, but that it failed in all sorts of ways. I had a particularly bad afternoon in early 2000s when I tried to install Linux on various machines (4 or 5, each one with different hardware) and failed wi

Sure, but somebody has to be home if the gas company wants to look at it.

That is weird. Why is it inside your apartment? Does someone have to check the meter regularly? Anyway, great job.

You've got the nostalgia and the technical limitations which are always an interesting challenge. It's no wonder some people who grew on these things and went on to have IT careers want to play with them.

I reckon Apple buyers are more interested in the OS than in the hardware, in general.

I recently found a letter written by a great-aunt of mine hidden inside a book. It is written in German, which I know a little, but her handwriting was too difficult for me. So I searched around and found this site: https:/&#x2F

I tried to warn them that they were hosting a phishing site once and they weren't very receptive. Otherwise, I hosted a site with them for years and all went well.

The UN sustainability index once listed Cuba as the only sustainable economy. Another year it was Ecuador. Cuba might be eligible again because of the embargo. My point is that you can't convince folks in rich countries to be truly sus

But I have to say that if you have a very cheap solution for 25% of your use cases you should definitely use it. What you can't do is neglect the other 75%.

I used one these things in Portugal a few years ago. They are definitely not thought for women.

These things are going to be sent by mail. You could just have the postal service charge a few extra cents.

That's one (very serious issue) but there are many others. Pornhub is a company, has an address, pays taxes, and has a history of problems.

Which site would you qualify as a "good" actor? It's an honest question. Is there such a thing as ethical porn or are there only sites that pay taxes and those that don't?

There's a mall near my house that has a food hall that has become an informal co-working space. At one point, the coffee shop had a coffee day pass. Before my team got a back to office order we had weekly meetings there. Considering ho

As awful as Amazon has become, I still use it for the same reason I started using it many years ago: books. It's the one place I can find all the books my kids need for school. You search with an ISBN and always find exactly what you w

That's just not going to happen. You have to go out in the rain or heat, pay for parking, maybe not find what you want, pay 30% more than online, so online still has advantages. What baffles me is that e-commerce sites all tend to get
