I have not lived in Rural New York in over thirty years, but when I did, there were unzoned areas in the Southern Tier, and looking at what got built there, it was clear that it was unzoned. I am certain that many of the properties were u

I find it hilarious the Red State Ohio wants to increase government oversight of corporations. Populist sentiment has completely rolled on through at this point.

And Republican Senators have declared opposition to a world wide 15% minimum corporate tax.

Let alone, impossible to do if the device will not even boot.

The problem being, if the device is so dead, that you cannot factory reset, or otherwise, wipe it, what do you do? My daughter's MacBook Pro, with lovely soldered down solid state memory died, and had to go in for repair. There was sim

I had a similar, smaller scale of that happen, in a sort of reverse direction a few years ago. My director dropped a resume on my desk for someone coming from a company I had worked at ten years prior, thinking I might have met them (it was

I have worked on a number of embedded products which ran from compressed root file system from eMMC. The overhead was a wash because RAM is so much faster than eMMC. What you spent in decompression time was covered by reduced eMMC access ti

Agree. If you start messing with the engine, and heaven help you, emission related equipment, you are going to have a long journey, and a lot of bumps along the way. Anything else? Pretty much, have at it.

As long as I a can keep my fingers on the keyboard, and never touch the mouse, I may give it a try. BTW: unlearning and editor is almost harder than learning a new one. I started with 'ed' in 1984, then 'vi' and plain te

Note: In the shots that he posted, he 'blurred' the faces and identifying tattoos. He wasn't trying to dox people, just trying to alert people to be careful about what you post and share.

So many tools save metadata in the files. This is really common. Is it what you want? Maybe not, but it happens a lot. A few years ago, there was somebody scraping the web for headshots, and an amazing number of them where photoshop crops t

ARM's first explosion was in PDAs, not running Linux. SA110 and XScale. A ton of ARM hardware is embedded cores running VxWorks or EmBed. M0 through M4. Yes, Phones are the dominant core consumer here, but there is a whole bunch of emb

We'll see. ARM architecture is now about 36 years old. I believe RISC V originated about 10 years ago. I think MIPS started about 40 years ago, but I believe it has finally ground to a stop.

I agree, 15k BTU is not 80k, but with a little patience on preheating (I don't have waiting customers) I still enjoy working in the wok I own. Also, it is not a restaurant sized wok, but for flash frying chopped food, or getting a nice

Which is also why a good carbon steel wok is a nive tool to own. My son bought me one a couple years ago, it gets used for more than just stir fry.

Ender 3 Pro. Unmodified other than a BL Touch. Just a bunch of fun. My first Dutch oven. I cook most the meals in our household, like 95%. I never have owned a Dutch oven. Misen had a Dutch oven on kickstarter and I picked one up. So far, v

I worked with a number of brilliant people at Bell Labs through the 1980s/1990s. The most comfortably competent among them, the most productive among them, were also the least abrasive. They were also the most self deprecating. Not jus

If you go to that page, it is a good read. Then you hit the back button to get back here, and it just reloads the page. Why? Because slashdot are assholes.

I have been in that zone for two or three day stretches, but never beyond, and never in sync with a full team. I have experienced two forms of team wide over-time in my career. The first lasted (for me) about seven months, then I quit. I co

There is nothing I hate more than rich content email. Send me plain text email. Add attachments that I can scan for issues before I open them. If you send me links, I will be very wary of visiting them outside a sandboxed tab. I will not &#

I noticed your second point. Massive type ahead, whether at the shell prompt, or within an app. I could not touch type at that delay, like trying to talk over a call with a pronounced delayed echo.

I have messed with tmux in the past, but could never remember all the gibberish sequences to make it useful. Thought I would take a look at this. Like the presentation of all the actions. TAB control was nice and all that. But what is with

As an AT&T Unix/Solaris/HPUX/NetBSD/Linux embedded developer for the last 35+ years, I find this quite useful. While I still have two machines (Windows 10 + Ubuntu 18.04) I can see this progress leading to a point wh

Which is why I wish Microsoft would release an updated Windows Phone 10. I know it never captured "mind share", but find someone that actually used Windows Phone for over a year as their main phone, and ask them how it was. My son

Adobe is run by useless assholes. They get worse every year. Their forced subscription model is gold plated shit. But here is the problem, much like Microsoft Office, the competitors for Adobe's CC suite really are meager by comparison

Bingo. Rich people deserve the riches of their birth, but poor people be damned.

I have always found that people that enjoy science are comfortable with uncertainty. I worked at Bell Labs for 16 years from the mid 1980s through 2000, and I found a lot of people still looking at things that "we all understand"

Money has a huge affect, up to the point that your needs are met. Yes, if your needs are met, and you have time to pursue things you enjoy, you do that, but first, your needs must be met. If I didn't require an income to cover a family
