There's some irony to be found in forking BSD-licensed code and putting it under the GPL.

S04E20 of ER had a patient die due to contact exposure to hydrofluroic acid, I had to look it up after reading this comment to make sure I got it right - don’t know why but it’s one of the most memorable to me. Seriously, don’t mess around

Absolutely not, thankfully I fully believe that somebody else can take the reigns if things get dire. I’m not terribly concerned over CloudForms, to be frank it’s an extremely complicated product that requires WAY to much work to use compar

I pay $3-4 (can’t remember the exact price because it’s god damned cheap) for access to all the PBS Kids content on Amazon Video, so it pretty much exists already.

Differences training only applies to aircraft that have the same type rating, there’s not any wiggle room in FAA rules for planes with different ones AFAIK (I’m not a pilot, so don’t quote me - just my cursory research).

The 737 Max is doomed without the MCAS, the entire reason it exists is to keep the same type rating the same to keep pilots from needing to re-certify. Airlines will have serious reason to consider other manufacturers if they can’t just thr

It’s also more difficult do do straight transformation on DC voltages, it can be done but the reason our power grid settled on AC was getting high voltage transmission levels down to reasonable ones for use is simple with some wound coils.

No, but IntelliJ ultimate has more features than Android Studio given there are JetBrains developed plugins that aren’t available in the CE platform. Guice support, for example. You can live without it, but if you are working on a larger An

Sure, it came about due to backlash - but they still listened to their customer base and made changes, quite publicly admitting they had pushed the subscription model too far. Honestly I’m quite happy with it as a compromise, especially wit

Applications that don’t need accurate location benefit by getting faster results and less battery drain (if the system last got a location 5 minutes ago it’s safe to say you are in the same city, so you can just get a cached result). It’s n

I never upgraded to FreeNAS 10, it was a significant departure and it was pretty clear ixSystems had made a fumble and was going to end up needing to redirect the ship. Once 11.1 came out and it was clear they learned not to throw baby out

Assuming you have adequate control over the local network to deal with jitter one could just use SIP ATA’s with everything set to use G.711 (uncompressed PCM audio) and make modems quite happy to believe they are on a traditional POTS line.

Not GP, but considering he said “Cloud Station” I assume he’s using a Synology NAS which is a ready-to-go product (just add drives). Personally I have a 2U Dell R520 I run FreeNAS on which cost me as much as one of synology’s systems with a

Yes, but it doesn’t require upgrading all your routing hardware and the planning involved with adapting your physical network design to work with the hierarchical structure of IPv6 (we’ve had TCAM large enough to map every /24 of the v

You may not be able to AC your entire garage, but you could cool an entire rack with a rackmount AC unit (tripp-lite sells them). It costs more since you are constantly having to cool hot air as it comes in, so it's not an ideal soluti

We also took advantage of the stupid huge address space to make routing tables smaller, it's not necessary to have every /24 (or /64 in IPv6 equivalents) in your tables because we can assign big blocks and stop dealing with f

Yes, Residential ISP's can sell or lease their space to AWS, etc. for example and just start moving their customers over to CGNAT. Why bother upgrading your entire network, planning allocations, etc when you can just NAT everyone for c

1Password publicly documents their security model, if you want to verify it inspecting the HTTP requests is fairly straightforward. I assume Lastpass does the same, but as I don’t use it I haven’t bothered checking.

A well deserved vendetta, Nvidia has screwed Apple over multiple times going back to the PowerPC days. After the defective chipset fiasco one can’t blame them for cutting ties.
