My biggest problem is thinking instead of building. I’ve had and still have some great ideas, and that’s all they amounted to thus far. When I’ve started to build, I get stuck spending a lot of time to produce very…
Removing or anonymizing PII in a large system not already designed for PII removal or one you don’t have resources to manage can be painful. Companies of all sizes can have a lot of PII and code that’s not GDPR…
If it’s about releasing information on schedule that’s verifiably created with a datetime stamp and maybe also by user, then it’s not really about predictions, it’s more than that. It could be used for any info, and…
What did you use for programming games? I wrote games for the Apple ][ in basic and created some with The Arcade Machine, but my Apple Machine Language book was largely unread, due to my impatience. Someone at the time…
I used to have the original version on a 3.5” floppy that I kept even when I could no longer play it. I also got to play Beyond Dark Castle[1] at one point- also a great game. (Tangential: I was in a user group that may…
The goal in football/soccer is a bit larger than in hockey. If you’re going to bring that up, we could talk about the hows and whys of the NBA not allowing goaltending. Have you ever noticed that one player just can’t…
When and how do you transition from thinking/marketing/etc. to building? And how do you handle situations where: (1) you know you must ship, but it’s not good enough? (2) you know you must think/market/etc., but you’re…
Is this how Mickey Mouse is so freaking big IRL and has been around since the early 20th century? Nevermind; that’s probably not the type of mouse model you were talking about.
I took a poll with a kid who said they thought an emoji email domain wasn’t smart. Up until that point, I’d been sold on it also.
No, like an XXL bedsheet, perhaps made of dark matter, maybe 1800 thread count.
It might not be as empty as it looks. Maybe it’s just got a really big dark sheet over it. Astronomers don’t consider the possibility of ginormous dark sheets in space.
I can barely read the text in the referenced page because of the fonts used in the body and in the diagram, and it seems like it’d benefit from screenshots; that is unfortunate, because it sounds like it could be fun.
Reading the title makes me think of “Who does number two work for?”[1] which in turn sums up my work in development; I yell at the data and push it into the toilet, while the guy in the other stall encourages me to do…
And I know Wifi is electromagnetic radiation, so there must be some phonon interaction somehow.
What I said was true. Whether it was digital or not can be a subtle difference. I never said that vinyl is only analog or that that is the reason for the difference in sound between vinyl and other formats, because it’s…
Cassettes have good bass and midrange. Vinyl is great and more defined. CDs have too much treble and anything digital can’t really produce the same waveforms exactly.
Backups are a reliability tool, yes. A backup on its own is of little worth if unused. When a backup is used to re-enable something, then the amount of time disabled may be decreased. When it is, this is reliability- we…
Does “Craft using an inertial mass reduction device”[1] use the same concept as described?: I don’t know if there’s a difference between this and the Alcubierre drive. Perhaps the tic-tacs were prototypes, given the…
MOVA stands for “multiple object versionless architecture”, which is something I’d imagine any experienced full-stack developer should be able to handle- if it were real.
I wonder about Cloudflare. It seems like the Windows Vista of its genre. It’s big, pretty, and possibly doomed to be replaced. Tesla is fine. It may as well have been a publicity stunt for them. “For a limited time, you…
You don’t have to quit to travel the world.
I was sure this post would be about SPARQL; the web as a distributed DB is genius, but a new query language with tuples and specialized servers weren’t the answer I’d imagined.
I have a reliability and risk avoidance mindset, but I’ve had to stand back because my mental gas tank for trying to keep things going is near empty. I’ve really struggled working with others that either are both…
Not so fast. I’ve not yet seen a broken bridge with two cars suspended by chains.
Not on purpose at least. In early evolution of Drive when I was using Google for backups with their client, which was called something else that I’ve forgotten, one day when I tried to delete or overwrite something, it…
