Don't use web security cameras to stop crime. Every service wants your personal information. Every service charges a subscription. The crime will still happen. Use a physically protected motion action video recorder. No web. The burgla

It's the holy grail for text adventures :) Funny article, and there is probably a similar post in an ILoveKerning site.

Yup. "Computer to computer should not be seen without a device in between (unless playing ROTT with your housemates)" 35 years ago maybe :) I had serial and parallel socket, and routerless networking happening on my home systems :

Exposure therapy does not work for everyone in all areas. Sometimes not at all. Also, see the debate around discussing traumatic events in therapy immediately versus waiting a year. Throwing people in the deep end doesn't always result

Zoloft for me (Sertraline) years ago. Was on for a few years and came off cold-turkey when it didn't seem to help any more. My life outside my head was crazy enough. My mind then matched it. I don't regret taking it, but it is a r

Looks like she is still trying to make money. So the cult didn't work out. I left a cult. If she wants to use the word for sympathy, talk about the really bad ones. Start with Nebraska and work back from there. Sympathy farmer.

That's mixing human memory with root access. Worse than AI :) I have lost more to mistakes than bugs over 30 years.

I guess you could map it to the right-hand M key?

I don't add people to my network to reduce the noise. I don't pay but get "requests" for software development that are not personally directed, so I delete those. Any job advertisement I am notified about is closed by th

I wish I could reply to the "I pooped" linkedin output. "Tongue firmly in cheek" is horrifying.

Surprisingly it does. It allows private property and the ability to progress with effort and mutual respect. Got a better alternative?

Since we are commenting in a tech website about chocolate bars, I'll say this. I bought one or more every day for years during my childhood from about 7 years old to 12 years old. Must have walked and rode my bike enough to stay fit. I

Any muscle, back and joint pain should first be met with mild strengthening, mild weight loss and mild exercise. It's like turning your computer off and on. Mostly the problems go away. Then check for other things :) Keep remembering t

No way! I played the original (too much) while doing computer science at uni in the early 1990s. My friends were either playing the Dune RTS or mmorpgs, depending on their leaning. A lot of the limited available computing power went into pl

Sounds like they tweaked an AI to get a minimal subset of accurate outcomes and started waving their hands for anything more complicated, realistic and ultimately generally useful. The larger problem-space is still an NP-complete problem. I

Sensible thought. I very much hope there is a glut of one-three year old ram and GPUs on the market in about one year when the AI market "cools" and the ear-marked components return to the market. The banks that lent the AI indust

Marked me down? That was a joke about how quotes are misattributed on the internet. (I am the following person) But if you are good at your job because you see faults before humour and it happens as a personal trait, then good on you. Found

I had a colour-blindness test when I worked at an abattoir. My job was to find odd things on a one third section of a side of beef as it went past and cut it off. 1500 or so per day. The test showed numbers created with blobs of close colou

For a while, I programmed while walking on a mini-laptop. Nice walking paths where I lived. I was on a hobby project and wanted to spend any minute on it. It wasn't pretty. I kept trying to design a contraption I could wear on my shoul

As a software developer, when I used to smoke, I would go outside for 5-10 minutes and talk shit with other regulars who had nothing to do with my work. It was a break that would fix my fading focus (probably for more than one reason :) I c

I used to do it walking to school when I was about 10. Nearly got hit by cars quite a bit.
