As a counterpoint to your underwater welder example - the underwater welding industry doesn't have recruiting offices around the country in low income areas or recruiters stationed in high schools, nor do they have an arrangement with

I would look into t-slot aluminum extrusions if you wanted to do a v2. It can be ordered pre-cut and pre-drilled from multiple vendors at various price points. And would make teardown/setup much easier.

OSC is oriented towards sending parameter and control information to things like synthesizers and stage lighting... sort of a fancier MIDI or DMX. This project appears to be targeted at synchronizing and routing streaming audio inputs and o

Y’all is a single syllable, rolls off the tongue and is gender neutral. By the power vested in me by the State of Texas, I hereby grant the reader (herein referred to as “all y’all”) permission to use “y’all” in perpetuity.

Property taxes in TX are generally higher but the lower average home price sort of negates that. Regardless, I'm looking forward to competing with even _more_ cash offers over listing price within 24 hours of a listing going up.

I believe the thermal mass for mud and adobe is higher than cinder block or stick frame buildings so the structure gets cooled in the night and remains cool throughout the day with the added benefit of providing some additional warmth in th

I'm in the process of converting to emacs after about 6 years of vim - I find just having a daemon launch at startup and always having a frame open is fine once you get into the mindset of sending whatever you're editing to that f

In the service of keeping my resume as dense as possible while remaining readable I've moved specific technology keywords from the body of my line items to the end of each job's body. So instead of this: Weyland Yutani Corp, S

This is how I convinced my parents to buy both a PS2 and PS3 - the PS3 was one of the most affordable blu-ray players when introduced, it just happened to have a game console attached to it.

I upgraded to Catalina for work and have had an abysmal time with basically anything that is external to the macbook (monitors/webcams/hedphones) - if I had to estimate, I'd say I lose anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour a da

I imagine being on a lot large enough or remote enough that you have no visible neighbors probably helps.

Their bare metal cloud offering (SoftLayer acquisition) was actually pretty good whenever I used it about 4 years ago. Wasn’t the most intuitive API or UI but you could get a bare metal server anywhere in the world in a few minutes.

Imagine how many people would want to play an MMO where the loot tables are determined by what return they give to a bunch of boomers who have probably never even heard of the game. Currently the incentive structure is to make a gaming offe

I'd argue that if increasing turnout to be more representative of the population as a whole hurts your party then there's something fundamentally flawed with what your party is offering to the populace.

This was a big inspiration for a sort of self-bootstrapping kubernetes "distro" I put together for my previous employer - just wanted to give a shoutout to all the neat things I see coming from bitnami.

I've found that phabricator seems to lack support for more complicated workflows so you end up having to hack together things using tags/workboards/milestones to mirror how your process works. This could be a positive though

If Apple made a 13 inch MBP without touchbar but with 4 ports I’d buy 3 because I know they’d immediately discontinue or “improve” it.

Having come from a JIRA/Github/Confluence setup in my previous role to a Phabricator setup in my current role, I can't believe I'm saying this but I'd give anything to have JIRA back.

Racket is nice, as it's very "batteries-included", you get a nice IDE in DrRacket plus a fairly complete standard library. I feel like most people seem to gravitate towards Clojure afterwards for "real" projects - i

I think "simple shapes and a pared-down color palette" is actually a better descriptor than I used. Even though the palette drawn from in both styles is limited I think there's still a heavy emphasis on color, if that makes a

This is something that's been bugging me for a while that I could never put a label on. It appears "Corporate Memphis" [1] is a popular catchall term for this style. I think the comparison is apt because not only do they both

The sad thing is that with things like WSL, VSCode, chocolatey/scoop and .NET Core, MSFT has done a good job of fostering a decent platform on which to do modern software development but then completely squandered a lot of that goodwil

Aren't these just re-branded Feitan security keys? Any reason I should trust this over something like a Yubikey which is manufactured in a country with a slightly less atrocious attitude towards digital security and privacy than China?

Overall sentiment among my peer group in Austin is neutral to somewhat positive. My biggest complaint is also probably their biggest asset: they're wildly popular amongst people who would otherwise take a car (basically, non-cyclists)
