I couldn't find the details on their site, but do you know whether the 3.5mm audio jack is 3 or 4 pole? I've found that most KVMs have the 3 pole jack, meaning it just supports audio out, but I need 4-pole so my headset microphone

Hell, for a basement prices, you can still scrounge up the older pre-mx variants such as the RFG-30 and PS2e (which is an RFG-30 and hand piece IIRC). I picked up an older RFG-30 with handle for $80 USD off ebay about 2-3 yrs ago. An old fr

Not everyone has good managers. $JOB-2, admittedly about 4 years ago now, the good manager with a background in software left for a better opportunity and was replaced by someone who's background was management. With no insight into th

In plenty of cases, administration may require academics to publish in journals considered "prestigious". Before a shakeup at my undergrad, that was the case. If you published in something the Chair didn't think was of merit,

Compared to the current state across nearly all academic fields, that is leaps and bounds more open. Outside of narrow fields, it was often the case that you would need to cough up an amount in the thousands to publish as open-access. Check

As an American and a Texan, range bloat can definitely be a thing, but urban densities vary wildly in the US. My daily commute is on average ~30 miles round trip. But if I add a stop or two, that can quickly slew to 50-60 miles if I have to

Author is creating a simulation of natural river meandering over time, and generating maps of that behavior in a style reminiscent of that used in a report by the US Army Corp of Engineers in 1944.

I also love JetBrains' vim implementation. Have you found a way to perform a text reflow (`gq`) in JetBrains? I don't know if I've just overlooked a config somewhere, or if it's just not part of the standard JetBrains su

I knew some professors in college that had the DX and that was exactly why they used it. They could download a bunch of newly published papers/references frequently and only have to carry the DX. You'd see them roaming about the c

No, it's a grab for money. Releasing an iOS app requires Apple hardware, X-code, and an Apple developer license which is $100/yr. Where as developing a PWA can be done on any hardware, and would be natively cross-platform. An offl

Ideal solution would be to make the control system a separate user serviceable module. For example, a smallish cartridge with perhaps a board-edge connector that can be swapped out from underneath/rear with all "digital" conn

The American Astronomical Society has taken a pretty powerful stance against the predatory journal publishing practice. They are pushing their own field-recognized journals that are partially open-access (12mo blackout window, then fully op

A massive majority of the time it's because the name once held meaning and had a strong reputation. In plenty of cases this still holds, even if the pricing model has turned predatory. Plenty of people review for an article due to the

The journals I'm familiar with require both. The reader pays for access (or more commonly their university/research org/public library/employer pays for it), and often is only available in bundles, such as multiple unrel

Generally no. There are maintenance and upkeep tasks to mitigate/prevent them. Though if your bin gets out of balance then yeah, you'll get fruit flies or other pests. If you already have a rodent issue, then this will definitely

What does the ceramic bin bring to the table? I have a worm bin at home that I made using garden fabric and three shallow rubbermaid totes with air holes, and they did great for a number of years.

In my opinion, that's the only positive to using OSX. Wish they didn't use an old as hell version of Bash. For my Linux work, I code to Bash 4, and I've been bit a few times when my scripts won't run on my laptop due tha

Huh... I have the exact opposite feeling. I've used a MBPr for work the last two years, and I absolutely hate it. I've pushed to get a good solid Lenovo, but that's been repeatedly rejected as they like the convenience of the

This is exactly what I've done for the last 5 years or so. I'm currently running a T460 I picked up almost two years ago for under $500 and is now running Xubuntu 18.04. My wife's running an X1 Yoga gen 2 that I picked up for

True, but it should be possible to say the average cost is $10,000 according to the last N similar operations. In the event of something abnormal occurring, you might require an extra $25,000 for this and that, and if the shit hits the fan,

From my conversations with ex-googlers, it's exactly this. Like you and OP suggested, promotions and bonuses are heavily tied to launching new things. Being on the team that launches the next new shiny moves you up the ladder. However,
