Ah this has reminded me of dejanews.com the usenet archive. Before the days of Stack Overflow that was absolute gold for looking up an error message or code issue. If I remember rightly Google bought the data when they shutdown and incorpor

I decided years ago to limit myself to just one box of cables... So then I ended up having to keep finding a bigger and bigger box to switch them to. One thing that bothers me though (or an excuse my brain uses to justify it maybe) is that

I'd consider myself quite positive about AI but when someone asked me I put my P(doom) at 10% too. I think there's a much bigger chance it saves us all as well though and makes life brilliant for everyone - P(yay). I really think

These days in my experience most people don't use a sidechain signal, just chop out, or filter, enough of the first base note so that it doesn't clash with the kick. People still refer to it as "sidechain" just because h

This has reminded me of the awe felt by 12 year old me when someone showed me that you could use a hole punch to make a hole in the corner of a single sided 3.5" disk to double the capacity. Adult me is now going to go look into how or

It feels to me as though LLMs should (eventually?) really shine at these kinds of tasks where the intent is already defined in code of some sort and the challenge of the task is lots of detailed legwork that humans find hard, more because i

I was thinking that the current chatbot showdown reminds me of the time before Google won the search wars. There were sites like this that had several search engines side by side in frames so you could compare the results returned from all

Its been very interesting to watch all of this play out. FTX going under feels somehow bigger than Gox, bigger than the DAO. Gox looked like it was held together by bits of string, the DAO was always something new and had the potential to b

I have a beast of a desktop PC but still find myself getting into console games far more than PC games. I think when I'm at my desk there's always this nagging feeling telling me I could be doing something more productive (code, m

Ah this looks great. My Dad would buy and sell second hand BBCs and my whole family were well into all of the Repton 3 games. I remember loving discovering the level editor too and proudly making my own themed set of levels which I think sc

MUD2, the next incarnation of the MUD by Bartle and Trubshaw mentioned in the article is still running and free to play (I believe), http://mud2.com/ . I played it on and off from 1994 to 1999 or so. If your character was ki

I use black by default across all our projects now and I'm all for it, but it does seem kind of ironic that whilst the main selling point of black is to take away these kind of code style discussions there seem to have been way more of

I'll just piggy back this comment to add that there's a whole world of milk alternatives too if you're worried about the ethics and don't like soy. I'm not keen on soy but use coconut milk. Others I know prefer almo

Google Container Engine supports cluster autoscaling to automatically add nodes with load. It's listed as a beta feature though. I've tried most of the Docker orchestration offerings and Container Engine seems by far the nicest. S

docker-compose is really straightforward to get running, even moreso with docker-machine, and it gives you dev/prod parity, but the downside is that there's not a built in way to do zero downtime deploys.

Systop of Overdose BBS, sometime around 1993/94. I was 13 or 14 years old. From a look at a list of software on Wikipedia I think we were running Remote Access ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RemoteAccess ). I remem

I can relate to this. My Dad loved computer hardware. He grew up in Mauritius with not much, and I think the concept of getting rid of things which weren't broken was alien to him. He lived alone, and when he passed away a couple of ye
