I didn't work on this project, but I've been involved with similar ones. There is a process for getting a change into version control. Each change needs to have a (virtual) paper trail: motivation, risk analysis, sign-offs &c

In one of the MD boarder counties (Montgomery maybe?) it at least used to (and may still) be illegal to posses even sparklers or fountains. And they were serious about enforcing it. Cops would stake out VA fireworks stands and radio in li

Thanks, I was thinking "that looks a lot like a slipped sheet-bend," but could tell that something wasn't quite right.

Neither my parents nor my wife's parents have their desktop connected to their router. The cable modem isn't even in the same room as the desktop. [edit] If it matters, my mom no longer has a desktop (she uses a docked laptop now

I didn't know what ESP was; from some googling, it appears to notify you when someone is aiming at you?

A 5 port 2.5GbE switch would upgrade this to 5 total ports (4x 2.5GbE), and costs less than $100. If you only need 1GbE then it's even cheaper. Outside of home-labs, it's rare for me to see any devices connected to the LAN side

https://thecontrollab.com/ Note that the footprint of the store is very small, and CRTs are very large, so "no room" doesn't mean they have a lot. Presumably if they were flying off the shelves though, they

Just a week ago, I called up the local games store to ask if they wanted my 19" CRT (for free) and they said they didn't have room for any more CRTs, so I'm going to take it to e-waste.

I've not read Dostoevsky, but there is a similar issue in Japanese literature. The same person might be referred to in as many as 4 different ways, and on top of that you are supposed to infer who the speaker is by the mode of address

FWIW, I just switched to FUTO yesterday and (out of the box at least) it doesn't support this. With gboard, that works great, but with FUTO it does not. I looked in the "Swipe Typing" options and there doesn't seem to b

Compared to gas cars: Kia K4 hatchback is $26k with a lot more creature-comforts. Gets 34mpg, so if $6/gal gas is here to stay that's $0.17 per mile of fuel costs. My EV gets almost exactly 4miles/kW average and I pay $0.21
