Wait, that game is still around!? I played it so much as a kid. I actually logged a lot in the original AOE. That is fantastic and a testament to what is lost with modern games requiring a server to be continually provided.

Not quite the same, but when asked by a State agency what it would take for to go on full time I gave a number and was told that is more than the Governor makes. My response was well he also gets a house! We had a good laugh together.

Completely disagree. I have found recruiters to be nearly useless. However, my experience is through the lens of someone who created a consulting practice bit by bit and have gained a good reputation in my niche. Recruiters don't help

Glock ships their Glock 19 from Austria to Smyrna, Georgia, with adjustable target sights to have enough points under US import law and then an armorer changes those sights to their fixed self defense sights to be sold in the US market. Pre

This impacts me and my family for sure. I'm not so worried about the business implications of going to paid, but I have been providing my family with firstname@ourfamilyname.tld for decades and they now have deep ties with that as thei

I put devonly: as part of every placeholder secret in docker-compose.yml or similar config that is committed to Git. The goal is a developer who has just cloned the repo should be able to run the setup script and have the whole system runni

In our household if it is not on Netflix, Amazon Prime (since I have that for work purposes anyway), or YouTube, it doesn't exist. We are not going to subscribe to Disney, CBS, or anything else. The kids can watch old Disney movies on

You are also paying for credibility even at the small business side. As an s corp owner buying a house was much harder than it would be for a normal w2 engineer. The letter from our cpa was priceless in the process.

It kind-of already was for all practical purposes. Businesses had to keep buying to keep the payments integrations and stuff. At least my perception.

Is the market for this software gone or is it that Mr. MacKichan is ready to retire and there wasn't a buyer for the company? I could imagine being tired and ready to close up shop after 40 years as well.

He wrote or illustrated some of our daughter's favorites. It's amazing to me just how classic these are. Something I had no idea about until becoming a parent. RIP Sir, and thank you for being part of our child's education.
