IIRC, rather then negotiate with the experienced union controllers until an agreement was made - they brought in inexperienced non-union controllers.. source: my uncle was an ATC during the strike. I believe he was a shift lead/supervi

Oh? I didn't realize they used hardware level on MIPS Stratus was pretty nice - I liked VOS :-)

by mech422 2y ago
bah - Team Stratus!! None of this wanna be software redundancy - real computers do it hardware !! /jk Always was a bit of rivalry between them (at least with Wall St. data centers)

They just had a release as well :-) It doesn't really seem to get much press anymore... Back in the 'early days' - wow! E! was something pretty special :-D

>>Being in tech is all about pivoting And remembering stuff 30 years later so you can be one of the last 10 people left that remember it. I figure COBOL should make a nice lil side hustle when I retire :-P

Soo...they didn't learn anything from Microsoft's failed attempts at leaving an A.I. on the net ?? what was it ?? 48 hours before MS had to take them down ?

Interesting they went with 'Games Industry' angle rather then mention he studied AI or worked as a data engineer in the title

cop out... according to you, the idea is so obvious it wouldn't be worth anything.

I've been using easyDNS for 5(10?) years... Never had a problem with them and highly recommend them. I do 'hobby stuff' - nothing fancy, but it always just works. One time I called to ask if they support wildcard sub-domain

that is pretty cool - wonder if it supports keyboard/mouse too ?

Nice write up! Especially for people that might not be 'into keebs'. Decent explanation of what the buzzwords mean, and why they might be important to you. I also learned of the glove80, which I'd never seen before so that wa

Ahh - I think that was my issue ... I wanted to stop junk mail, but not mail addressed to me. I still wanted to be able to 'important' stuff...

by mech422 2y ago
Unfortunately, that means you still get everything addressed to 'resident'... Last time I checked, there was no way to stop those at all :-/ I just got a p.o. box and pretend my mailbox doesn't exist

1. Learn you slicer settings! Support setting in particular can make a huge difference 2. Different brands of filament may need different printing temperatures. 3. Use printables, thingiverse, cult3d, yeggi, etc to find models to print

Yeah ... the Camel book was awesome. I remember being amazed how fast it got you writing really useful perl scripts.

Larry Wall would agree :-D

Nice :-) It looks like a cool project ... My personal 'wish' would be a split keyboard with an 'electric eraser' setup as a thumb stick. Trackball/thumball would be second best. I agree having to reach for the mous

Not my thing - but looks like a nice project :-) I noticed your profile mentioned being an 'aspiring developer' - it's really cool to see people jump in and code tools/stuff that is useful to them :-) I'm not a cpp

That used to be ReiserFS's claim to fame - tail packing small files. Doesn't seem like any FS has really optimized small file handling since then.

I just can't get into the web based ones...I don't know why but they all seem slow and clunky to me. One thing I didn't like about alibre is the lack of Linux (or Mac) version, as I plan on ditching MS once my win10 box is un

I did the free trial and it seemed ok - but I had too many bad habits from fusion...one thing that always tripped me up was the limit of 1 sketch per 'part'(?). It seemed to enforce 'best practices' much more then Fusio

Alibre (1) seems pretty popular with makers (good cnc support?). Not OSS but its a one time $200 purchase - sorta surprising you can still buy software these days :-P Alibre is more of a professional tool like Fusion 360, so there is some

Given all the talk about moderation in social media, I thought people might be interested in Advogato an early experiment in web-of-trust based communties. Kuro5hin(1) is another one that might be of interest... 1. https://en.wik
