Why cellphone is like a Tamagotchi nowadays?
*BlimBlom* please notice me!
At one random time a lady voice said in my pocket: "GPS signal lost."
What is going on, my dear Tamagotchi?10 -
I have an analogy for what is a SinglePageApplication.
Think browser as a highly tuned racing horse. With decades of expertiese, professionals have developed methods to make it fast and efficient. It'll take you where ever you want.
SPA on the other hand is a weird looking creature.
It's made of a donkey, stacked with all kinds of extra stuff. Donkey is slow by nature and because of this extra payload it's now so heavy that it can barely move on it's own, so you need a heavy lorry to move it around. Because donkey is derived from a horse, it has it's built in features. If you give it a carrot, it will refresh it self. You don't like horsies and it's not allowed to be horse-like so you have to build obstacles to counter these features.
Now after all this pain and not gaining anything, you have an SPA and you can fantasie that it has superpowers and it can do what ever you want. If you put flame stickers on it, you can even pretend that it's a go-cart.1 -
There's this tech-wannabe guy who sends me random electronic related questions at the middle of the night. I don't have a gosh darn clue about what's he even up to.
He takes a muzzy photo of his computer screen, not a proper screenshot, and asks for "Will this schematic work if I leave this and that part off of it? Cuz I don't currently have those at my shelf."
Same for sharing a link, take a photo of it.3 -
When will be the moment in time when the majority of internet content is generated by artificial intelligence rather than humans?
Let us call this 'AI Domination of Content' as the AIDoC-era.7 -
I love it when a safety feature meets an edge case.
I was driving along the highway, with adaptive cruise control on. There were cars in front of me and also behind me.
The car ahead of me set his turn indicator to the right and was decelerating for the exit ramp.
All good, heart rate 60bpm, there was plenty of space to get passed...
Suddenly, my car was like "PANIC, PANIC, EMERGENCY, BRAKE BRAKE BRAKE!!" And some automagic emergency brake triggered.
And I was like, "WHAAATT THEE FUUU...."
You cannot make these random emergency stops when a car is trailing your ass at high speed.
Yeah, it was something with the radar and the car fluctuating in front but anyway, nice feature.5 -
I hate IT. I hate just about anything that relates to computers.
It's all nothing but debugging.
SSH from linux, works great.
SSH from windows, even with plain password, permission denied. Blaah...
Why this shit won't just work?7
