Very neat. I work for a small manufacturer and wanted to implement LED signage like i had at my old gig: show machine speed, job info, etc. But the signs we used before were serial with ethernet converters that were pretty fragile and as th

Wow, Journeyman project brings back memories. I got this game for Christmas and wasn’t really bright enough to get through the whole thing at 7 but it was a really interesting game that I’d forgotten about until now.

Yeah, totally. He only printed things a few times a year and by then inkjets usually dry and print poorly. I don't fault him but it's interesting to these strange market forces in my life. As an aside, my grandfather was a terrifi

Just an anecdote: my grandfather passed away a few years ago and he was always into new technology. After he passed when we were cleaning up his home we found no fewer than 11 inkjet printers in his basement. Every time one stopped working

As someone who is literally starting an IT department from scratch, this is a really exciting list for me to dig into. There are old favorites like 'mythical man month' that I'm generally aware of, though never actually read

I work in an organization with a lot of internal line-of-business apps for manufacturing. While there might be hundreds or thousands of users, the problem just doesn't really warrant the extra steps that microservices requires to reall

I love daft punk and had countless nights in college studying, gaming, and coding to their albums. I will continue to love their music but totally understand wanting to move onto something new after almost 30 years :) Best of luck to them i

The Nasa person they have helping narrate what's going on is so genuinely happy the landing went well. It made me kinda tear up. It's infectious just how excited all these people are about this project. Also, I was a bit worried h

I know nothing about this tech but could you copy a whole drive bit by bit onto another drive and keep the original while “using up” attempts on a donor drive?

Pretty bold claim that 2080TIs are going to sell for $250 in a month, lol. Certainly the market for them will take a beating compared to new prices now. But I can't imagine it collapsing like that purely based on the supply. How many p

As a developer for some sleepy enterprise apps, I am very impressed at how companies like Zoom, Microsoft, and such can scale to handle this increased load so gracefully. I'm guessing this is just their website and not their actual app

Basically, yes. Here's an excellent Planet Money article I heard yesterday going over this issue: https://www.npr.org/2020/03/13/815307821/planet-money-why-th... At least in the US, there's a p

trickle down economics and the myth of tax cuts automatically generating enough economic growth are just that: myths, that have been debunked. I'm just heading out the door, so I apologize for this being a very lazy reply. But

I live in the midwest and there's a Frys up by Chicago. I drove up there during the holidays in hopes I might be able to snag my wife a nice monitor off the floor. I was absolutely gutted to see the state of the store. It's immens

This is fascinating. I work for a large enterprise that has basically written its own ERP from scratch. There's a lot of rough edges but it's very tailored for our workflow and processes. I've toyed with the idea of what I&#x

As someone who works in manufacturing, I can't count the number of times I've been told to "just make it work". And, in reality, sometimes that truly is the best option in the immediate term to get a system working so yo

Man, people are salty about this. I've been a long-time .net developer and the changes in the last few years have felt really refreshing, even as someone deeply in the microsoft ecosystem. .Net announcements seemed to feel like monolit

I've work for a company that does these from time to time and they've always been optional. For big milestones, there are typically quite a few people who are genuinely excited and it's nice to see photos like these posted in
