Funny you should mention Fidelity - I have their "full view" thing set up so I can see my accounts at other banks and brokerages on one screen. Late last year I did a wire transfer from my bank to a brokerage, and the brokerage c

Reminds me of that old trick: Pay me $100 and I'll cast a spell to get you accepted to university. Your money back if it doesn't work.

Here's what I got: ifconfig | ?{$_ -like "eth0 *"} | %{($_ -Split " ")[-1]} In other words, find the line that starts with "eth0 ", then return the last column using " " as a delimiter.

Last I heard (and I haven't had direct visibility into this since about 7 years ago) aliases are preserved between versions for backwards compatibility, but you shouldn't use abbreviated parameter names in scripts because there&#x

Let me channel Snover really quick: Imagine you need to get the MAC address of a network adapter in Bash. One way to do it would be... ifconfig eth0 | grep -o -E '([[:xdigit:]]{1,2}:){5}[[:xdigit:]]{1,2}' ...another...

Two things to consider: That guy is the corporate vice president for developer services, so he probably had to run that response by Legal before committing like that. Also unless this is a really exceptional year, there probably wasn'

I thought the fragments of faux brickwork and wainscoting you can see on the back wall were interesting. It implies that the tradition of protecting walls with wainscoting was well enough established 2000 years ago that you could put up a

Back when I was printing medieval manuscripts for personal use, I just made a jig with a hole every 1.5 inches, then used it to drill holes in the edge of a stack of pages. Zip tie each hole, clip the end off, and put a strip of packing ta

The last time I remember using a tape to save a program was in 1983. That's the year my dad bought the Peripheral Expansion System for our TI/99-4a, which came with a single-sided 5.25 inch floppy drive.

I think the fun started winding down at Sun after the crash in 2000, so he's probably talking at least 25 years ago.

I've always wondered whether the orientation of the memory chips in your computer made a difference for cosmic ray errors. That is to say, if their face is to the sky vs. their edge, will it affect the error rate?

You sound like you know a bit about TI-99s, so let me ask you this: Do you have any idea why they made the lower case character set be small upper case letters instead of real lowercase like the Apple II or C64? A couple of years ago I did

I had a bit of a breakthrough a couple of years ago playing with a Microsoft USB camera. (Not that it's specific to MS but that's what brand it was.) Anyway, when I took the plastic shell off the outside, the lens was mounted on

Like any other industry, I assume the value of these things ebbs and flows. If you look at recycling in the US when China decided not to accept our waste, I bet a lot of companies found themselves stuck with tons of material that suddenly

On the one hand, it doesn't seem right for the government to use this as a moneymaking opportunity at the expense of other "entrepreneurs" but on the other hand the official pipeline probably adheres to some standards they wo

Did you get a sense for whether the higher denomination coins like €1 and €2 are getting impacted as much as lower ones? I'm trying to think of a reason that this effect would be coin-specific and not just, for instance, a function of

"Blame" helps, too. All the bigger projects are in Visual Studio Online, so if you wanted to know, for instance, the latest contributors to WMI, it's just a few clicks away.

If you're going to that sort of length, maybe just filter DNS requests from the TV to whitelist Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, etc. but block everything else. A custom router might go one step further and only whitelist outbound traf

This is very unhelpful - I'm not really in a position to code review Microsoft's implementation and compare it to this document. I was hoping for something more like some high level details from the author of AppGet.

I used to keep a full-sized PC (in a case made to look like a retro stereo) in my entertainment center, but when the motherboard died a couple of years ago, I got on Amazon and bought a fanless mini PC with an SSD and Windows 10 Home preins

Curious, but have you (or anyone else reading this) tried out working as a developer online? I've got this nagging dream of moving to Kentucky, buying 20 acres and a mansion for $250K, and finishing out my career working online in my

I'm not even sure the land line wiring in my house is functional at this point, to be honest. You could always get a VOIP adapter and plug your old phone into it, though.

If we go down this path too far, you're going to get a shock when you read the wiki page on "Aryan" for the first time.
