I know I brought up an idea that would automatically adjust the volume lower. It got turned down.

I am afraid to inform you that you have built a compiler. I know you wanted a “simple prototype” that would just add that one feature to your programming model. What did I just read?

Well, I have actually been there a few times. And recently.
It goes like: "Hey, I got this non-specific task for users who somewhat know what to do. They got a pool of data to play with, and when they figure out what they want to do, they can bloody well do it themselves."
And one month later, I got a scripting engine that needs to take care of all the foolish stuff the users can dream up.
My last iteration of this type, ended up with a solution where the users could write extensions in C#

As software developers, we’ve all come across those annoying, not-so-useful error messages when using some library or framework: "Couldn’t parse config file", "Lacking permission for this operation", etc. "Error: Operation completed successfully. Code [object Object]"

The International Space Station is now more than two decades old. And while primary construction of the orbiting laboratory ended a little more than a decade ago, before the retirement of NASA's space shuttle, the station has continued to evolve with smaller modules and an ever-changing array of visiting spacecraft. "We are unlikely to see a space vehicle in orbit as large or as capable in our lifetimes." And I didn't think I could get any more depressed during a pandemic ...

For the past few months, I have been working on a project called CAMLBOY, a Game Boy emulator written in OCaml that runs in the browser. Man, this would make a great article on CodeProject.

As it turns out, though, we can absolutely avoid the gray dead zone. In this blog post, we're going to learn about why this happens, and how we can use color theory to create rich, vivid, thoroughly-alive gradients. I really, really like Mr. Comeau's "Me" avatar.

PCI Express 5.0 has only just started arriving on the consumer side, but the specification for PCIe 6.0 has just been finalized. The PCI Special Interest Group has published the final specs for PCIe 6.0, doubling the bandwidth over the 5.0 version up to a theoretical maximum bidirectional speed of 256GBps on an x16 slot (128GBps in a single direction). And it feels like we’ve just barely settled in with PCe 4.0 devices!

A federal judge says the US Federal Trade Commission can proceed with an antitrust lawsuit against Meta, formerly known as Facebook, after dismissing the suit last year. In the real world they sue you for owning Park Place and Boardwalk.

But they wouldn't sue you for owning both Mediterranean and Baltic Avenues...
Wait, would that mean Disney is illegal......

Aside from the plethora of scummy privacy practices Facebook uses to track your every move on its myriad platforms, the company’s also come up with plenty of sneaky ways to keep tabs on you off its sites as well. In Soviet Mozilla, browser tracks site tracking you!

Hmmm, tracking the trackers...now there's an untapped market. Or maybe it's already been done.
|
|
|
|

On Firefox, I have the plug-in Ghostery, which blocks these tracking cookies.

I pretty much only use Firefox for FB. Track away! Well, it does include the FB container module.

Firefox said: What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for companies like you.

With 2021 having come to an end, now is the time to look back at the big events & trends in the world of web scraping, and try to project what will 2022 look like for web scraping. I wish someone would have told me web scraping was uncool. Now I'm uncool.

In the words of Oversimplified:Oversimplified: DUDE!
Uncool.

Recruiters are once again anticipating a challenging year when it comes to hiring tech talent as demand for software developers soars. They said they wan someone who knows at least 3 languages and has at least 5 repositories on GitHub so I wrote and pushed my "hello world" projects in Python, Java, and C#.

Without reading the article, given what I see in recruitment and contracting power:
C, C++, some Assembly is always appreciated;
Some microcontroller (Infineon and ST are two good candidates);
SPICE procedure;
A working understanding of basic digital and analog electronics, better if coupled with some mechanical knowledge.

In a medical first, doctors transplanted a pig heart into a patient in a last-ditch effort to save his life and a Maryland hospital said Monday that he’s doing well three days after the highly experimental surgery. I want the eyes of a hawk and the strength of a bear!
