This reminds me of supermarket clerks running IBM 3270 apps one handed. As long as the UI is straight forward, it doesn’t need to be pretty or slick. It just needs to be second nature.

I live downtown, and I’m leaving. It feels like Portland is being held hostage by itself.

Absolute worst compared to what? Have you tried packaging software on Windows? If you have something better in mind, please implement it. It’d get used.

You're talking apples and oranges. The LX2160A is an "edge computing part", with a bunch of RAM and I/O bandwidth, and enough cores to do something with it. Its not a workstation or a jellybean controller part.

Did anyone write "extreme" portability? You can pick a ton of random architectures (e.g. PowerPC) that aren't common, but aren't extreme. The bugs that they find can be useful, and I evaluate them when I get them.

Do you never stop and think “why is our code base busted in this person’s environment?” I mean, it could just be that the bug filer just hasn’t done their due diligence on upgrading (why won’t win 3.11 play crysis). It also could be that yo

Do you disagree with their personal experience? Does it not match yours? Their experience matches mine. It’s one of the reasons I appreciate projects like Net and OpenBSD, who actively keep old hardware around. They find bugs, by actuall

I have fond memories of camping near Diablo as a kid. It’s a beautiful area, and being in the shadow of the nuclear power plant kept me on edge. Regardless of any narrative, I’m curious about the actual negative impact Diablo ever really h

... and then you run a script that depends on `/bin/bash` .. but uses a feature (e.g. coproc, associative arrays) from a version less than a decade old. And then you go and update your PATH and shebang lines to call out `/us

Horses for courses. I’ve been staunchly pro Apple since my //e and I’ve recently gotten off of OS X completely. Most of my usage is dependent on developing server/SaaS tooling, and Apple’s dev support is so behind, that it’s

Do you feel the same way about Nancy Pelosi telling people to “come to Chinatown” during the start of the pandemic?

How many people doing exclusively remote work would be driving an F-150 otherwise? From where I’m sitting, west coast, construction and public works projects are up during the pandemic, not down.

I don't think you understand the severity of what antifa was doing in downtown Portland.

They were professional fireworks. They were exploding at street and building level multiple times last year. The most recent was downtown on New Years.

Interesting. As a side note, I’ve gotten into the best shape of my life from grappling/jiu jitsu. That is usually 5 minute high-intensity rounds, with a 30 second break, and a new training partner.

If they were a company offering services of transport, they might do that (e.g. ads on a side of a bus). Alternatively this could be your next great side hustle: live ad and t-shirt marketing in the gig economy.
