I think you took a lot of flack in the original comment[0] The alarms in netdata resolved a long-standing network issue on one of my boxes, and have variously alerted me to problems I could resolve with storage which greatly improved perfor

I think that sums it up pretty perfectly. It's the single reason I watched the video and my first thought was "there's no way that works that well" From the comments, here, it sounds like it might. There's some in

Thanks. I just created a nice storage box for my Wii, got everything organized and put it on the bottom of a large pile of things to sell. This sounds way too interesting, so I'll be doing some digging, apparently. Any idea if this w

Thanks for the information -- this was one of the concerns I expressed in a previous comment. It's going to be very difficult to evaluate this product via video. The videos/animations look so good that I had a hard time beli

I laughed so hard when I read this, but then I realized something. Dude, you have a really cool mom . But I'm "that Dad". For home-related projects, about 25% of the stuff I replace with "home-built" ends up bein

Thanks for the info -- I had assumed this was the case[0]. When I looked at the animations/video, I thought it was really slick and as I read more about the tech it appeared to be as I expected, but I'm not sure if I should be d

I have a buddy who put in a fireplace insert and pellet stove. Besides the fact that he picked up very modern implementations of these two devices, he lives on a 10 acre property that's mostly Cherry Trees, so an electric log splitter

Well, for what it's worth, if you haven't been thanked, you deserve it. I've avoided many mistakes due to my friend's sobering assessment of things and I've done the same--though arguably much less so--for him. At

Love it. I've written at length about my Dad's adventures as an entrepreneur, but I remember that one statement made over card group[0] about my Dad's company and my Dad that really stuck with me. The backstory is that Dad bo

I've worked in a few different capacities and have seen this happen, and seen previously excellent developers decide they simply couldn't take the pressure and head out for something easier. I can respect the latter and provided

Thanks for that -- just out of curiousity, what is "instrument currency training"? My Dad was an instrument rated pilot (among others) and trained on the original MS Flight Simulator. It was obviously missing far more than pro

It's likely an issue of differing goals, too. As I mentioned in a previous post, my Dad used the 80s MS Flight Simulator for IFR training. The graphics, on our amazing CGA monitor, were Battleship Gray ground (with mixes of solid gree

I was disappointed in the post -- a lot of the comments are complaining that the whole article could have been summed up as "they're non-profit -- donations, silly"; I agree[0]. And the answer was a bit of a non-answer. How

Wow, I followed this so closely back in the day[0]. It was a fascinating thing to unpack in real-time as it was happening. I burned hours per week on Groklaw, partly out of fascination around all of the parties, especially outside of SCO

But I don't think your problems with FE Dev/TypeScript are "TypeScript" problems so much as they're problems around the tooling you're using with `node`. And I agree. Unless it works out of the box, it's

I don't know that I'd agree with all of those statements, but my expertise lies in C#, with a bit of TypeScript/JavaScript/Front-end Web thrown in from time to time. I used to write a lot in C++, have dabbled in C... Th
