This is fairly close to my revelation as well. I don't run "heavier duty programming" as OP says local anyhow. VSCode runs wonderfully, battery lasts forever and I run anything beyond trivial in some cloud instance.…
Gentoo was the "gateway drug" that got me moved over from FreeBSD. I loved FreeBSD ports and Portage scratched that itch with a Linux kernel. Eventually the need for less excitement and a little more predictability…
It just floors me that today you can order up a custom PCB for a few dollars if you are willing to wait a few weeks. What a world.
This is my situation as well. If you travel a lot, having something light Flightaware giving you more detailed information about what is really happening with your flight or airport is wonderful and starting a feed was…
If the trash was sorted so we buried "caches" of plastic separate from chemicals, cardboard, electronics, etc I think there is some short term sense here. My issue with landfills is that mixing all that stuff into a big…
The only movie to give me nightmares and sleepless nights. The Day After had little impact on me but Threads was on a whole different level. For some reason I also still remember a scene from…
Way back when Adams also posted occasionally on his own Usenet group. When he did the answers were often very similar. I got the distinct impression of someone who had found something he was very good at but not…
I was one of these. However I now understand that the pricing nuances reflected a reality that I appreciate. We used DDB in a way that was not the best fit and the cost was a reflection of this.
Accepted pull requests to open source projects run by someone else. If PRs look even decent that will almost guarantee an interview with me for a young dev. It will guarantee me a look at just about anyone.
I agree. The majority of the reactions here to Foundation seem exactly the way I felt so many years ago to the Starship Troopers movie. I hated seeing it in the theater with a passion and it was because I was one of the…
This is myself as well. HN is a kind of a National Geographic of technology to me.
Years ago I made a single reply to askhistorians that survived and got a handful of upvotes. Nothing special and yet the one reply I have any pride in.
I am curious about the silicon oil. I assume this is a solution for places where there is not a lot of rubbing/use? Some searching did not turn up any indication this was a common use nor permanent.
I agree. Been using Zoom for Ubuntu and it "just works".
Mine too. Tom Swift and the Bookmobile that brought them changed my life. It also had a few of the "new" Tom Swift adventures and I later learned there was an "old" series that start with Tom Swift and his Wireless…
A wonderful single screen space in my home town was converted into a pool hall. You picked up the balls and paid for the table at the ticket booth and they reused the theater seats on a raised platform along the tables…
I really believe you know someone that could use the compost. I have three other families feeding mine.
True. In-VPC has extra costs.
