My favorite description of this sort of setup is "coded by vandals".
Yes, yes they do. And they have high-pressure air wars and they short batteries through paper clips chains to see how hot they can get them. Kids still do stupid things, honest. -a mentor of an unspecified FRC team
Not a Steam game, but an amazing programming puzzle game that I keep looking for a modern version of. Year: 2001 Title: Colobot Link: https://colobot.info/ My description: Use code to direct wheeled, hover and flying…
"Back then", just being nearby and showing interest was often all that was needed. I remember wandering into the engineering computer lab my first day of college and being asked if I wanted an account by someone only a…

Or you can make it go away completely with: https://zoom.us/profile/setting and search for 'apps'. Turn off "Zoom Apps Quick Launch Button" and I believe that makes the dock go away, too.
I think the key would be knowing what flavor of Unix they were on. `bsd man learn` gets me to that page.
Every instance of the flag will be created with a random view and rotation of the planet! (But none will have New Zealand, of course.) (Or it’s some cool cloth display that shows a rotating version in realtime.)
I look forward to seeing what flag Musk plants when he lands. Given that some countries are dropping metal flags on the arctic seabed just to claim the mineral rights, I’m sure it’ll be a source of much drama.
Love that one! My first thought was “we’ve already got one, you see; it’s very nice.” When I decided to start flying flags a few years back, I got one of these. Good conversation starter with the neighbors. (And my…
My daughter checked the existence of the tooth fairy by not telling us when she lost a tooth and putting it under her pillow. The pride on her face when she informed of of the results of her experiment the next morning…
It’s quite discouraging to stumble upon a well-written bug report that matches exactly an issue I’m having and see that it’s been “sent away”. I’m not getting angry, per se, but more disappointed and concerned that the…

I agree with your assessment. “Experience is what lets you recognize a mistake when you’re in the process of making it a second time.”
I settled on https://textbelt.com/ since it was cheap, a curl one-liner to use and didn't require me to install something new on my phone. % long-running-job.sh ; sms "the job is done"
To be honest, I thought this was an “ask HN”, not an actual article. Thanks for saving me the click. I’d be interested to hear what other people here could come up with. What’s the metric? Financial gain? Damage done?…
Interesting. My third thought was “Huh, perhaps we’ll be eating less beef until the inevitable price shock and hoarding passes.” (First thought was for the poor IT folks stuck in this mess and the second was remembering…
I remember a friend complaining that he had to work over the weekend when they hit 10,000. That 5th digit screwed up all their column formatting. Technical debit is ever present, unfortunately.

Delightful writeup. Two bits that stood out for me: - The incremental nature of exploration of this type. Often, the results are shown without the messy bits like "then I made it just teleport the piece to a specific…

I think the key bit is where "my" is in that second sentence. At the time, the main server (or your hosting service) would, indeed, have the full list of messages for all the groups they carried, with a lookback of a…
I wear a watch to bed, but then again, I did even before watches got clever. These days, I like it for the sleep tracking and knowing I can get alerted or have my alarm go off without waking my spouse.
I’ll assume that they’re VPN’ing into work and their IT doesn’t allow split tunneling. As a result, all traffic has to flow into the VPN concentrator as a bottleneck.
