It seems that putting a timer on the power source (set to say 30 minutes on, 30 minutes off if the load justified it) would be a fairly simple way to significantly extend the battery life. I've been thinking of putting together somethi

From a historical interest perspective, I would love to see some Symbolics simulators. From a productivity and ergonomics perspective, I don't think chip level simulation would be the way two go. First, Genera has been ported forward t

I've been trying to stick with bash for at least 20 years (I did have a brief tcsh phase before that) since a time when sticking with it meant having to install it on every unix system I touched. However, now that MacOS defaults to zsh

An Ancheer ebike from Amazon cost around $1k, and while possible, it would be hard to get a car for that price. It seems pretty well made for the price, but it doesn't include the best quality shifters. I can set the saddle high enoug

I would consider the scope what what is considered competition to be excessively broad. That must either be narrowed considerably, or they must pre-agree on what severance would be. The last time I was faced with such a non-compete, I did

There is more involved if you want USB, not to mention multi-keystroke macros and/or user configurable macros.

Freelance contracting is probably the easiest way to work part time. There is some stuff that is only x number of hours a week. This seems to mostly be sysadmin work or basic web design. The other option is to do something like 3-6 months o

Giving up your editor to tough, so I'll come back to that. I believe that Pharo and some other smalltalks no longer require giving up Git[1], and by extension, I assume that would allow keeping any git based review strategies. Some dep

I suspect that any printer with airprint and Ethernet will just work at this point. I've yet to see an Ethernet printer that required a special app to set it up. A lot of multifunction machines will even support scanning to a network s

Modern graphene work looks to have started in 2004, so it hasn't really been all that long considering that it takes time to work out how to produce it, how to actually make use of it, how to manufacture the things that make use of it,

You can go to Dell, HP, or Lenovo to get a premade Xeon workstation. Getting Epyc premade requires rather more research to find and qualify a vendor, and that vendor may not make it easy to configure and but from the web site with or having

A number of them support the unit being placed about 6in. from the wall. When you include the depth of the unit, that may be placing the mirror closer to 2ft. away, but that is still pretty darn close.

The push versus pull difference between ansible versus salt is a worthwhile design choice. In my opinion, salt does start to make sense until about when you would outgrow ansible. That said having to replace all the playbooks and. Roles wr

From article: "Coca-Cola was one of the first to introduce IoT to customer service and in 1982 one third of vending machines were connected to the Internet." That seems really unlikely. Assuming it was a typo, does anyone know wha
