I'm older now but been playing games since I was younger. In the years of playing games, I can't place why certain games gave me motion sickness while others didn't. One of the worst games I played was Silent Hill on…
I recall Flickr before was free up to a certain resolution, at the time it was something very low like 800 pixels or less than 2mb. During Marissa's CEO days, they pushed Flickr and introduced the unlimited storage for…
I honestly see the company as a startup in idea. They couldn't afford to build a proper deep sea sub so they used the idea of new tech in the form of carbon fiber (which I'm assuming is way cheaper to form vs a titanium…
The sad part to ponder is most likely the team on the ship knew the sub was gone right when the communications was lost but kept the information to themselves.
I believe this is the way many companies are going, even if they don't need to reduce the headcount, they can scoop up hungry workers cycling them out for average performers. I keep sharing that many companies have not…
I'm not sure if this is the same as the DJ apps that remove vocals and other instruments but there seems to be a surge of apps that have this feature. It's impressive how well some of these work and I believe they are…
I used to be a huge fan of Evernote, but a few things made me look at other solutions. One issue is the capturing of code was automatically formatted and I was burned a few times keeping my code snippets for reference.…
I learned a bit of Perl from authors who focused only in Perl, great videos and books that allowed me to understand Perl how it worked differently from Python (at the time was taking over learning media). But using Perl…
I personally cannot tell, if I was mixing vinyl I honestly would never have known about this. But using a digital vinyl system like Serato which displayed the bpm as 100.0, it's very apparent the tracks will fluctuate.…
I can speak on this owning a pair of Technics 1200 mk2 I bought new in 1995 and a pair of Reloop RP8000mk2 I bought two years ago. What might be confusing is many DJ turntables are made by the same company now, and are…
Wasn't most of the Amazon issue on fake items related to the UPC barcode issue they ran into with books? I recall they only stored the UPC code of items and pulled from their own stock or resellers (who had fake copies…
One of the big wake up calls I had during that time was a friend telling me about Webvan. At the time I was younger and not investing so the conservation was mostly around how great the food was, cheaper than up scale…
Given the amount modern GPU's are requiring that doesn't seem such a rare occurrence. During some game sessions, my 3080 will max out the capacity of my consumer UPS and ponder if a loose pin on the power connectors…
Just speculating but I would guess that's a reason for asking people back in the office. If you're getting paid the same amount as an engineer in the Bay Area but living South Dakota, I'm sure this causes some alarm for…
Negative Reaction is a great episode!
I rediscovered Columbo a number of years back and playing the original series is my way of having background noise while working. But every time I watch the same episode, I deepen my understanding of asking questions…
I agree, I never seen the first fret displayed to the right. You can rotate the fretboard at the bottom right.
LinkedIn is my guess, the social media platform with the most reshares and least amount of new content. Everything I see is just a reshare of the same CEO message, or "hustle life" post. I would expect to find posts…
Having dabbled in film photography during high school and college, I'm amazed at the quality of these images and also being in color. The processing for color was much more difficult (last I checked) since you couldn't…
The name needs to change but also the attitude that as engineers, we build complex systems and assume everyone has the knowledge how to use it. A few world wide outages I've been a part of was caused by a task runner…
Thank you, I wasn't aware it's that easy. I have gotten around the saving issue with the desktop clients, they work decently well. I also love the tree view which many note apps seem to move away from.
I've been using Tiddlywiki for my technical notes. Before I was using Evernote and Notion, both would format my code blocks and it was just easier to use Tiddlywiki with a desktop app for saving. But my concern with…
The biggest reason why I held off on the camera was missing the fisheye lens, once that became a common feature, I was pretty much sold going with the phone over a camera.
I started with SLR's in high school photography and loved how you could see just what the camera was doing. Using the Pentax K1000 with a 50mm 2.0 lens (at the time was a super cheap combo kit) just inspired me to…
I love the idea of alternative reality and what if the vacuum tubes were never invented, the same with the transistor. Would we have huge steam engines running building sized mechanical computers to calculate simple…
