It does, though. A single line might not change - but the world around it is always shifting. Libraries in frameworks, Operating Systems, drivers, external data structures - nothing stays static in the environment our code lives in. As l

The issue is certified aircraft. I think the 'certified' USB charger was around $300 for the part when we installed one - in addition to the certified mechanics time. The experimental side is cheap.

I really, really wish one could filter twitter content. Even a dozen keywords to nope on would make a world of difference in election seasons.

In general, you can bring a watch but not a phone in some areas. An aviation friendly watch does a nice job of being visible (bonus visible in the dark) as a watch. Bonus as a timer. Extra bonus if it can give you zulu time with current

It was a rough point in time. In the dot com boom, people who could rub two lines of visual basic (for applications) were getting jobs. If you did not like your job, you could make a phone call and have a few offers waiting for you by the

The larger size does make it easier to read at night. Mine's got an analog dial and also a digital screen. Nice to have a stopwatch as well as a clock in zulu time, as most people you talk to will want time in that zone. The pure so

Crazy how fast that sounding rocket was at launch. I don't think I'd ever seen one before... and man, did that move with purpose.

Indeed. Never thought about whittling out one. Looks like a neat little project when we go camping next summer.

Sharing a checkbook is one of those fundamental things with marriage. Both parties need to be aligned - even when one makes substantially more than the other. If someone thinks they need a pre-nup, they should still be in that dating phase

My work threadripper was 128G @ $1100(usd) last month for non-ecc ram. Server at twice that decency is likely a pretty penny.

You get goofy measurements like that when someone takes the time to measure what a dash of this, a pinch of that, and a tad of something else into a non-eyeballed, quantifiable amounts. And yes, some times you have to be exact, sometimes..

Our 500 person shop was gobbled up by the same company a few years after you. The reason why we were gobbled up - we went public and share prices tanked in the Enron time period. I think I was in the first 100 or so people, which after co

You will see it here and there. It is not common, usually in steak houses or French restaurants. The smaller (dedicated) butcher shops will give you a cut that you can work with. The larger grocery stores usually only have bones for stoc

Wow, I'm out of date. (Build 3.2.6). Just noticed the 'check for updates', which I guess our overlord IT guys missed in the automation. I had no idea this was not the 'stock' terminal for OSX and doing a bit of rea

Zillow and the classic real estate brokerage don't get along. There is a push to make buying a house an internet shopping cart thing, which the brokers really don't want. Were people to get the information, automate the regulati

Use the foulest language you can in passwords. Makes it unlikely it will get shared.

Honestly, I expected the article to be hot trash -- considering how I saw the implementation at our shop. I've changed my mind. We just go about it wrong. What went right, what went wrong, where did we get lucky... If we answered th

That video card is painful too. I'd be happy enough with 2560x1600@17" as it would be a Linux box... I think. I'll have to take a look at one and see how it feels.

I really wish they would move focus back to being more expandable. The way they weld stuff to the mainboard is hot trash. There is no upgrade path for these newer macs. My old 17"? That got a 16G RAM/SSD upgrade with the CD swa

I suspect so. I play a lot of this and things are pretty stable. They did a lot of patching and reworking in combination with the original files. The reason for tying your steam copy of SupCom:FA to the FAF code is to avoid legal issues

Not sure if you are aware of the community that keeps Supreme Commander Forged Alliances - but this goes on sale for a couple bucks every big steam sale. If you have any version of the game on CD, steam will convert your CD keys into the g

I've not owned one of those mini-macs. Was a bit surprised how it was put together from a servicing perspective. Way too much work to do something as simple as replacing the RAM, which I guess is what the intent was. I guess I should b

Drones from the truck to the door would work, however. I could see the elimination of the driver walking the package to more of a drone operator to dump the package on the doorstep. Automation could queue it up so they could just put it i
