This sort of thing has been going on for some time. Disney's Fantasia has been excised for many years. They held off on having it available in any consumer format (aka VHS) and when it was, there was one scene in…
haven't read the whole comment thread but wanted to mention this: as an "aphant" (never knew that was a word) I get really vivid visuals on certain psychedelic drugs like psilocybin or DMT. Not so much acid, however.
Funny thing: today at work, I was curious. Windows utility? try a few of the handles in the article. Couple hours later, i get pinged in Teams by someone in the security group who, who was flagged for my activity. No…
Piling on a moment to write to a real hero... In the 1980s/1990s I was a VAX/VMS person and your book was a hit in our LUG because it included REAL DCL CODE. I've frequently quoted your "if it isn't logged, it didn't…
I melt milk jugs and other HDPE plastics into musical claves and drum sticks as an answer to "recycling plastic is kind of bs". It melts at 350 degrees and can be done in a toaster oven in the garage or even the kitchen…
Tried again and it's showing my state. Thank you for looking.
I'm getting only Wisconsin no matter what state I choose. I have not created an account yet, would that make it actually work?
I like the idea, and I would like to use it. It still requres me to be conscious enough to add a new tool to it. I'd love to see something like a "discover" option that attempts to scan what things I have added to…
It's worth mentioning here that a lot of people who HAVEN'T lost their jobs are taking pay cuts just because cost of living increases aren't always there. If you're a contractor, often the contract is just extended and…

I won't live long enough to care, but it seems like we are setting up for a Y2100 problem. The Y2k issue was understandable and justifiable - when a lot of the systems were built, the dominant carrier of data was an 80…
reminds me that my first taste of the internet was the days where you pretty much had t have a university account. I used a friend's, and was blown away by what I found on Usenet
I got the black Kickstarter-only version. I got interested in coding in C again. My (now) ex broke up with me over this thing on the mistaken notion that I was messing with her somehow electronically. I got told i had…
Born in 1961 and these articles don't touch on one thing that I remember when I was a kid: you only needed 5 numbers to dial if you were calling someone else in the same thing. This was the case at my grandparents in…
It's arguable that today the "friction" might be a feature.
a couple years after AOL came online and... well changed it quite a bit.
Hey what if we sent ai bots to talk to each other on Usenet?
I also came to the same realization about the same age a few years ago. There is an article making the rounds that refers to a mathematical proof of shoelace tying last couple weeks that talks about this…
I have one of these stuck on my phone that I listen to occasionally and I giggle a lot when they mention their lifestyle consultant Martha Stewart.
Example of this is that one of these recordings, listed as "Kmart 1973 Reel To Reel" has an address of 3020 East Grand Blvd in Detroit. Motown's original studio was on West Grand Blvd. It's intriguing to consider who…
I worked for Oracle in their Broomfield, Colorado campus. There was an alcove off a hallway that had bookshelves and a library that had been apparently inherited from StorageTek, an acquisition of Sun Microsystems…
same with New York Times... and Wall Street Journal... and Financial Times... and The Economist... and many others. I've wondered what it would take to pre-emptively edit HN so i don't even see those links.
"tech work" is more than just programmers. Highly paid programmers might not be the initial target market, but roles like front line tech support, quality assurance roles would benefit from collectively pushing back on…
a lot of the skills that one needs for a job that we're arguing is beyond the AIs, like software architect or writing anything with real thought in it, implies that we humans are smarter and we can just do the more…
Tying my shoes: My knots would always come out, so i got into the habit of tying the loops together. A few years ago, in my mid 50's I realized that I was tying a granny not rather than a square not. I made the…
