I'm disappointed the cli version seems to be getting short shrift in the push to monetize. I'd be far more likely to want to use this from the cli or from another tool, than in a browser.

The virtual environment part isn't really very fragmented at all -- I believe all of those use virtualenv/venv under the hood for that and just add layers of additional features for package and/or interpreter management. (tha

The logging works ok while off bluetooth...but be aware that _any_ changes are basically impossible in that state. Even basic watch functionality like changing the time or setting an alarm require a bluetooth link, the software, and an inte

Isn't the author just asking for a shared hosting plan? That used to be the default thing that everyone started with. (well, unless you had a shell account with a `public_html` already) They aren't the trendy new thing, but they&#

I actually always thought librarything was strictly better than good reads as a list building/management tool. It has suffered from a similar lack of improvements recently, and I was never impressed with their "social" featur

One could also question whether they used the lure of a bounty to keep someone quiet while they let customers (aka advertisers) continue to benefit for an extra 9 months at the expense of the users. I guess you'd have to consider Faceb

Separate address spaces mean that one process won't accidentally stomp on or read from other processes' memory, not that they can't if they choose to. A debugger is the canonical example of something that's sole purpos

Ok, it sounds like what you were trying to do wasn't routing, but circuit-switching the rs232 lines. As an alternative, PPP gives you a routed TCP/IP connection over a serial line...you offload routing onto the network layer and y

I remember those days...I lived in a small town that didn't have a local ISP for a long time, so stayed on AOL for dialup because of their local dialup number. I'd used the AOL client from another machine and then set up NAT beh

What are you trying to accomplish by using or emulating modems vs just a serial line? Your best bet would probably be getting a terminal server style multiport serial card and just do PPP over serial from the client devices. The modem is an

That may be true if you can eliminate human drivers from the picture. I'd be shocked, though, to see numbers that support this being feasible at that kind of scale on public access roads. And that just brings you back to needing some

AFAIK that's only true if you're using crostini. I think older machines that don't get crostini support also won't get docker support with the standard kernel, so not a solution if you want/need to stay with crouton

But those issues are all totally orthogonal to my point. You can argue that someone doesn't need something, that it's the wrong level of abstraction, or that it's not an appropriate interview question. I even agree to some de
