This isn't solely a mainframe thing. The pty/tty designation for terminals on Linux is a reference to when the computer had no display, but output to a typewriter (to give one such example).

My nubians (and nubian/alpine crosses) are much more personable and sociable. I attribute it to the breed being selected for these traits, so that they will be gentle and docile on the milking stand. They're gentle and sweet. My b

I have a small herd of goats, mixed between dairy and meat varieties of a few different breeds. They're great to have around for lawnmowing, milk, and fun. They are as interesting and expressive as dogs and cats, each with his or her o

If people had to pay the true cost rather than the often subsidized one, it would be a more equal choice. I wouldn't propose to market "meaty" vs "meatless" on the basis of these hidden costs. The irony to me is tha

My original post more accurately could have read "the economics of how a $1.55 meat burger comes to be." I don't know anything specific about how the Impossible meatless burger is produced. I know that there are some tricky

Well at some point we will have to reckon with the economics of how a $1.55 burger comes to be. It's simply not possible without sacrificing health, animal welfare, and the environment. Not trying to be preachy about this, but in a che

I know you're being facetious but these are the types of industries and activities that don't get the SV disruption treatment, partly because nobody there knows about them. It's partly why I love when these "off-topic&

Notably missing from this study is any note of the display resolution. The market is flooded with a glut of 22-26" monitors that have the same low resolution as the smaller ones they are supposedly designed to replace. This is all also

I know better than to read between the lines on a press release like this, but can't help but notice that it falls far short of accepting responsibility for the problem. He admits that MCAS "activated in response to erroneous angl

We have rules about elevators. There are elevator inspectors who regularly certify elevator safety, and they are liable if they falsely attest as to its good working order. The owner of the building is also responsible for maintaining their

You are assigning blame further up the chain, which I am not doing. I stated in my first post that I do believe the manufacturer is liable for their faulty products, but can not be SOLELY responsible. I might find the gun shop owner for sel

The individual operator (the driver, or the person in the operator seat who presses the "engage autonomous mode" on the car) is the one who chose to buy a vehicle and put it on the road, potentially endangering other people. We ne

Operators of vehicles need to be held personally responsible for the damages caused by putting their vehicles on the road, whether the vehicle is autonomous or not. Additionally there must be a responsibility for manufacturers to not create

This is nearly 20 years ago. Were CGI and PHP really up for the tasks of serving up the type of dynamic pages at scale 2 decades ago? The "content" (articles) might be largely static but the pages are not, with dynamic ads, weathe

Funny to read this today as I wake up with a "hangover" from taking Sudafed PE last night. I do have a box of "the good stuff" but it isn't rated for night-time use. I think I'll dump the remainder of the bottl

Size and number of lanes, for me. I think roundabouts are the multi-lane ones, rotaries are much smaller and slower usually. At least this is what I realized on moving from Massachusetts where rotaries were common, to New Jersey where there

I expected to read a solution, not just the symptoms- but other than the theory that the monitor is connected to a power cable that runs under the floor, and the employee who triggers the screen to shut off is heavier than the others and st

You may wish to try out SheepSaver if you haven't already. There are some tutorials that make the process relatively simple, booting to Finder in a few minutes.

For what it's worth to you, I still remember the first time I watched Windows detect that a folder was full of MP3s and enumerate artist/album data alongside the other typical file attributes, and feeling that it showed a big step

>Ads are a fundamentally less evil way of satisfying that necessity than taxes. Strongly disagree. Advertising is obtrusive, distracting, ugly. It defaces our public infrastructure and crowds our minds. It lets companies into our brains

I wonder if you're talking about the launcher for managed classic Mac workgroups, At Ease. I have an almost identical experience to you, including the coffee machine (though more of a closet than an office).

Good theory but not necessarily true. The attacker might still wish to use a spoofed domain to ensure that they get delivery of all replies. In cases where Gmail and Office 365 accounts get hacked like this, the attacker will enable email f

Now imagine someone's Ring camera takes a snapshot of the person with the backfiring car and sends it to the police as having fired a gun! Who would build this?

I do exactly that behavior all the time. It's difficult to tell whether an image will expand when I click it on Twitter app for iPhone. When it opens a browser window that I wasn't expecting, I close immediately.
