The biggest problem is fans. They want to re-experience what they had when they first saw it, then get mad when the movies don't live up to their past experience. I was 7 when Star Wars came out. I had all the toys. I saw the movie a d

It can catch things that I might miss or might be misinterpreted. I sometime miss simple things, like like repeated words, that an AI point out. Is a spell checker considered "AI"? Is Grammerly? Okay, maybe Grammerly from 5 years

The sequel series was one of my favorite sets of books. It’s markedly different from Rendezvous, but I found them an enjoyable read. It was contrived at points, but the series had my favorite ending for a character.

There is a concept of “the burden or knowledge”, in that doctors know the worst thing that could happen, so they recommend the most cautious approach. My son had stomach pain one time when he was young. We took him to urgent care because it

I feel the same way about using the Internet or books to code. I'd rather just have the source code so that I'm not dependent on anything other then my own brain.

I bought the first edition when it came out. I was just 3 years into my SW development career and it provided a lot of good advise. I bought the second edition and enjoyed it, but the first edition had a special place in my heart.

Is your complaint that it has errors? I mean look at what it can do. This is a freaking computer generating things from scratch based on a prompt. Two years ago, technology like this was so much worse and could only generate basic images an

I’ve been a Fastmail user for years, having left Gmail. It works great and have nothing be but praise for them. I use my own domain with them so if I decide to leave it’s not an issue worrying about updating people with my new email.

What's to prevent HIV from evolving past the protection? Strains of gonorrhea (a bacteria) has evolved to get around antibiotics. Won't that happen with HIV? Or is a virus not able to adapt?

40-plus years ago, I would take my dads bow and arrows, stand in the front yard, and shoot arrows straight up in the air. Not too high up, but high enough for me to toss the bow aside and catch the arrow in my hands when it came back down.

20-some odd years ago I added the initial bookmarking feature to Rockbox. None the MP3 players at the time targeted audiobook users so it wasn't a feature you could find on the market. With Rockbox, I just added it. Good times.
