The main slip printers I use are the Addmaster 7100 and 7200... they're the same printer but use different cartridges. You can find them cheap on ebay, or at least you could. They speak their own little dialect that as far as I know is

Also... the way I work with it is pretty simple... just three perl scripts... tsta, tpau, and tend. They take a single argument... just a single string I call a tag. Usually something like a jira ticket id, but it could be something more de

Oh man... the popularity of the tailwind css framework. I have big-o Opinions on that, but screw it, if it helps people get things done quickly, then I'm all for it. The semantic xml/html dweebs set us back a solid decade.

The TL;DR is that it's a physical kanban board mixed with a time clock. I place them on a ticket rack hanging on the wall above my monitor. It like the ones you see at restaurants... extruded aluminum... filled with marbles... slot on

I actually use my printers thank you very much. Even bought one of those bank teller slip printer things and a few boxes check-sized slips. I use them for time tracking and todo list. I didn't go totally crazy, though, and stopped befo

I hate that it works so well these days. I have my antenna right out ground level between the house and trees. Absolute worst case scenario, and it's been rock solid in everything but the heaviest of rain storms for almost a year now.

The layout of news sites peaked with cnn.com back in the 1998 to 2002 timeframe. It's been downhill ever since.

First of all, no. Second of all, still no. I'd rather trust the norks with my data.

Pretty sure this is going to end up as a big prank by The Yes Men.

Maybe I missed the point, but this read like Big Think Thought Leadership that would make a good TED talk but not much else. I'll just put it on the big pile over there.

So what you're saying is that you can put a stop to crap like this by slinging a C&D their way?

Perverse profit motive like them not losing a big expensive aircraft, or having a massive loss of confidence in the airline to keep customers safe that causes them to go bankrupt?

But dude... just think of all the optimal personalized mattres sales they can do with that data. I mean, people that use the bathroom at 3:57pm for seven minutes are 0.00138% more likely to buy a new mattress within the next six months. The

Maybe make that intelligence per token per relative unit of hardware per watt. If you're burning 30 tons of coal to be 0.0000000001% better than the 5 tons of coal option because you're throwing more hardware at it, well, it'
