I worked on a project (15+ years ago) that used Jython to put a web front end on GDS systems (airline reservation mainframes). It was in production and being used in some of the largest travel call centers at the time. The whole thing was

I have used the USB-C apple adapter with linux and it works fine. I used it for a year hooked up to an older dell laptop (Xubuntu and later Manjaro) for my home sound system (spotify client on the laptop). Works great for the money. I even

I have used the lightning headphone adapter on my iphone almost daily for a couple of years. Whenever I have problems like you describe it's because the lightning port has dirt/pocket lint in it. I have a plastic tool that I use

i grew up in Athens and was in high school/college during this time (graduated hs in '83). Unfortunately I was not that involved in the music scene but still got to see some great bands. The article spends a good bit of time on t

Walmart was a very different company under Sam Walton. Sam tried to visit every store once a year. When he got there he would throw the managers out and talk with the employees to find whether or not the managers were doing their jobs. He a

Nice to see this come back up. I worked with Jamey years ago and he was brilliant. I think he has a write up for Ms Pacman as well.

I use a Sharp 43" 4K tv as a minitor. It is a little on the large side but I have changed how I arrange my windows to cope. Generally I have whatever I am working on take up the middle third of the screen and arrange smaller windows on

AT&T dropped fiber in my front yard too. I ignored it for a few months because previously they only offered bundles with tv and telephone and crappy speeds to boot. A coworker told me he was getting symmetric gigabit from AT&T for $

This is a pilot run of 50. Think of them as prototypes. They will use what they learn from these prototypes to build a larger fleet. If they can make these purchase price competitive with their current trucks it will be a huge win.

The chicken tax effectively killed foreign competition for light trucks and domestic automakers punted as mid-full size trucks are more profitable. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_tax

Do you have any pointers to info on using Hammerspoon as you describe above? I have a low dpi 4K (43") monitor and would like to be able to assign windows to pre-determined regions of the screen.

I couldn't do anything in an open office without blocking the noise. Visual distractions are almost as bad but are harder to block. I use sox to generate audio. It is available for win/Mac/Linux. I set it for 90 minutes of br

This is certainly a nice surprise. I took my first CS course from Dr. Covington. I remember on the first day of class he went through the roll of 70+ students telling almost everyone the linguistic origin and meanings of their names. He has

How much heap are you allocating? I was seeing unusually poor performance while working with a large project until I bumped the heap up to 4-6g. It still takes a minute when I open the project but is pretty performant otherwise. Also, I&#x2

I also listen to noise instead of music to block outside sound. I use sox on mac/linux/windows to generate brown noise which I find less tiresome than white noise. Sox is well documented but here is the command I use for 90 minut

I believe that pilots refer to this as density altitude. It factors greatly into allowable takeoff weight, takeoff distance and ability to climb over obstacles in the takeoff path. Pilots are or should be very aware of the density altitude
