That's a cool idea. I wonder how many re-uses a box like that would take to make it cost effective over the same amount of cardboard. Should be feasible I'd think.

I second termbox. It's a well crafted library, and easy to understand by just reading the h file. I wrote the Ada binding for it just a few weeks ago.

I'm also curious as to what the "security" issues are that TCL would be rendered "out".

One common way queues can be used to give an async like feel to your applications and flatten out spikes of activity without having to add hardware. So, for example, you would have a CRUD that takes requests, and when there is background wo

I'm genuinely curious how this works but maybe it's being perceived as "I'm entitled to free stuff on the internet" (I am definitely not one of those people).

This looks like a cool library, but I have a question about the newscatcher API. How does the licensing work for the content? Seems odd (but great) that I can just read the news in my terminal from NYT but not pay a subscription or see ad

I tried this with a domain. It's related to used beer kegs. The reason is because I was volunteering at a brewery, and one of the hottest commodities for small breweries is used kegs from bigger breweries that are replacing them. Mo

Regarding the games you can type out in BASIC, there's a book called "BASIC Computer Games" I got at the library once, and there's an online page that has a decent collection of them: http://www.moorecad.com&#

Thank you for the quote, I like the part about the "what you love part" being fluid. I think that's why sometimes your career being "what you love" can be tough, because unless you're the boss, it's hard t

This is a really thoughtful take, thank you. I completely agree about how the group dynamic and generally being aligned in goals makes the world of difference. I feel this way in some of my social groups outside of work, for hobby or semi-

I'm coming from the 8 hours sleep, 8 hours of work, 8 hours of other stuff. There will obviously be things like chores and eating in there, but I think there is meaning and purpose derived from those things as well.

This is just my personal approach to being disillusioned with tech, but I think about it a lot so I thought I'd share. I think one of the most dangerous cliches we are taught when we are young is "do what you love, and you'll

I was surprised none of the bsd flavors, freebsd, netbsd, openbsd weren't on the list. Your comment phrasing made me chuckle too.

I've used https://incompetech.com/ in the past for royalty free music for game jams and other hobby projects. It's the site of one musician that makes all of this stuff and releases it for free.

I really like using the recording feature to do sound checks. We go through all of our checks, then I watch the video locally in VLC. That way I'm certain when it goes live it'll sound the way it's supposed to.

OBS is commonly used for video game streaming, but it's a great tool for any scenario where you need to take live audio and video from different sources and display them at the same time or transition between them. I've been using

The Blackberry Key2 has pretty good reviews so far. Ive been on a Blackberry Classic for 5 years now, when it goes that is probably what Ill get.

I think this is a good start for sure. I had a take home assignment. Also, a lot of the interviewing was personality based, so that was a good sign too.

I work for a company where intellectual humility is a core value. It is expected of all of us to be curious and also accepting of being wrong sometimes. I'm in tech, and compared to other places I've worked, there are significantl

I use Seamonkey at work and my coworkers make fun of me whenever I have to screenshare. I originally switched because some years ago, Chrome was being a memory hog, and I remembered using Seamonkey years before that. I still use it every d

I thought of sports too. I personally have irrational hatred for rival players that, for example, accidental injured a player on my team in a big game. But it's almost like a joke or game; if I met the player in person I wouldn't

I think for any work of art, there are two companions to the piece that need to be considered; context and authenticity. Authenticity is why punk music or other lofi forms can technically "sound bad" but be great pieces of art; th

Don't forget to check out some 2 year programs at your local community college. They usually offer more flexible schedules, so you can work while you go to school, and tuition is generally lower. Had a friend that recently did this

I just acquired a IBM PS/1, and it's been really fun tinkering with it and learning about it. The next article is about PC-DOS, so I'm looking forward to it.

The one that caught my eye was 3D movie maker. When I was young my siblings and I really had fun with it. Basically there was a background, and you could add characters to it and make them move, rotate, scale, and do premade animations. The
