I guess that's true to a point, but Boyd was singularly focused on ACM, maybe even obsessed with it. Which is understandable given his background. I guess it's fortunate that technology continued to advance to the point where the

The F-18 and F-15 prototypes were competing for the same job. F-15 won and MD managed to salvage their investment and sell the YF-17 to the Navy as the F-18. The F-16 was the card up Boyd's sleeve that nobody saw coming but couldn&#x2

Col. Boyd must be spinning in his grave! One of my favorite books: https://www.amazon.com/Boyd-Fighter-Pilot-Who-Changed/dp/031... There's a lot about what's wrong with aircraft procurement in this book

This is a great exercise -- well done! What I try to convey to my students: * We write programs to solve problems. * The program is a model of the real-world problem. * The better our model is, the easier it is to solve the problem. * Objec

I'm happy to see so many people advocating Syncthing... Nothing like rolling your own!

I did the same thing. I use Syncthing for a bunch of thing and it really works well. I'm in the process of rebuilding my offsite backup machine with it. I make a local backup of all my digital pictures and will soon use Syncthing to

Dropbox lost me (100% Linux user) when they decided that ext4 was the only file system they supported. I've very happily moved over to Syncthing. For a small installation you could use a VPS at Digital Ocean or Vultr. You could even g

As a longtime Linux user I felt snubbed for when Dropbbox decided that ext4 was the only file system that they were going to support. God forbid that Red Hat decide that XFS was the default file system in RHEL7 and Dropbox couldn't mak

I recommend this to my students frequently. I teach an intro to programming class to college students who have no experience. Inevitably, some try to use PyCharm and they just get lost in it! I tell them it's like learning to drive i

How's the vibration? I've been a fixed-wing pilot for many years. I recently sold my share in a 182 and have considered a gyro for many of the reasons listed here. All the YouTube videos I've seen look like the thing is go

In the case of an engine failure, a helicopter trades its potential energy (altitude) to kinetic energy by allowing the passing air (as it 'falls') to spin the rotors. This is the helicopter's equivalent of gliding, more or

It's not that great. You can find much better training materials for beginners all over the place.

One more reason to flush this turd. It worked well for me until it started flagging some very non-commercial use (family IT support) as commercial. I actually tried to use their process to unflag myself. Gave up and am happy with AnyDesk

I hope this project has matured since I last tried it (18 months ago). As wOutert mentioned, the installation process is difficult and not for the faint of heart. Sure, most folks reading this here could manage it, but we're not norma

Exactly. Netgate has long said that they won't touch it until it's production-ready; they keep pointing to the warning messages in WireGuard saying that it's beta and when the time is right, they'll consider it. I'm

But you don't get that great UI. I'm the world's biggest Linux cheerleader; one thing you never hear is that almost every 'modern' Linux has a hypervisor built-in (KVM/QEMU) to it. PVE is basically Debian with

I can't say enough good things about PVE! I started managing VMware in 2003 and ESXi is a wonderful product. I was running ESXi at home on the free license which only gives you eight vCPUs (if I remember correctly). After hitting th

I'm submitting this for completely selfish reasons! I've been a DynDNS user since 2012 and maybe earlier. No offense to Oracle, but I'd rather not continue my dynamic DNS services with them. What's everyone else using?
