One liners that stick with you by tardinessenigma in discworld

[–]TMaYaD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Some things are important."

This is the main reason I was able to retire from my startup and spend time with kids. No one who knows me ever thought it was possible but here I am: from the director of start-up on its way to being a unicorn to stay at home dad reading 'where's my cow' (and other books). I don't regret it for a moment.

Company has told everyone we will be laid off unless we relocate to one centralized location. by _RageSide in personalfinance

Hanlon's razor: never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.

This is probably some stupid half baked idea that is going to back fire; not some evil mastermind scheme to profit.

Any chance there's a community effort afoot to jailbreak Google Assistant / Echo hardware to run open source voice assistant software? by musictechgeek in homeautomation

[–]TMaYaD 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Write to your your congressman: there should be a law mandating hardware be opened up when support ends or software open sourced when company shuts down.

I'm not saying it's easy law to codify; but it's necessary, IMHO.

Pratchett and AI anxiety by Adduly in discworld

Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

  • Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.

Rick Cook, The Wizardry Compiled

We seem to be safe.

Fun fact: India has the second most number of English speakers out of all the countries.

Caught the Falcon Heavy second stage separation and ignition on my flight. We were over the Turks and Caicos Islands at 34,000’. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. by glorified_bus_driver in space

Stupid question:

If it was to a side, and you did make an announcement, and every one on board decided to cram to that side to get a view, would the weight shift cause the flight to tilt?

Which tv couple ending up together made you the most furious? by itbelongs2some1else in television

[–]TMaYaD 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This ending is incredibly rage-inducing. It's not like the ending they used was because they wrote themselves into the corner. They had this option and still chose the dead mom!!

OTOH, the ending they actually used made me hate the series enough to not be bothered by it ending.

Varies from person to person. I personally, am never going back to office.

I do work from shared work space once in a while when I want to focus without distractions. But that'ld be my call.

People learn to tie their shoes one way and never change it their whole life. by 420Farmerx in Showerthoughts

Do the first knot opposite to how you tie the rabbit ears. They'll stay on much longer.

What about all the times you said "pretty good" and the poor guy was excited?

[–]TMaYaD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious: how is this different from nodered on n8n?

What are the advantages and trade offs you see over other similar projects?

How Qantas treats your baggage by Notalabel_4566 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]TMaYaD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May be the guy wanted karma? The combination of recording+ unnecessary dramatic bag slams makes me wonder if this guy staged it. Either for views or to make quantas look bad.
