This is not new technology at all but perhaps this is technology which is being used in an unnecessarily complex manner. I sat in on a lecture given by University of Maryland circa 2000 here in Florida concerning their W4 video surveillance

I've accidentally taken out a television station before. Was remoted in and clicked on the wrong thing with a new platform I was being walked through and exploring. All of a sudden MeTV in the Dallas/Fort Worth area went down in t

Well sure, I’ve been using “is” alongside switch statements for a while now but admittedly doesn’t come up too often. Let’s say you have a ControlTemplate that’s so deep in the stack you have to pull symbols for it yet most of the propertie

FL inequality is due to the tourism industry and the super low wages they get away with paying. Construction is similar in FL this way too. https://news.fsu.edu/news/business-law-policy/2019/08/08/fs

Well this is our modern “moldy rye bread” situation folks so what to do? Let’s not forget disruption of the basal ganglia is responsible for the formation of delusions which could be in the same ballpark here.

Yes no doubt they’ve found it safe when allowing for the effects to fully wear off and at a certain dosage. Chemicals of this class are similar in structure to serotonin itself and do the opposite of SSRIs. This would mean the therapy is me

I’ve had to change my thinking about this to adapt to modern times. I used to think like this about internal recruiting however there is a bias — to avoid anything they do not know. There are recent grads and outsider devs that are really g

I think in order to understand this properly you have to build and try out Arcan for yourself. It took me a little while to understand the LuaJIT application structure but without that in mind this seems like- "a terminal with graphics

Excellent work and a great write-up! I’ve been implementing double blind accounting systems the past decade or so and what they teach in accounting classes is spot on there just isn’t much need for more complexity. There is the added benefi

It’s weird there’s a real gray area. If you started as Metal many later punk bands had reverence for you if say you happened to be Ozzy or Lemmy. Then, just as the article suggests, many of the Metal bands claimed Punk as an influence. I’ve

Many years ago I threw together a WebKit based browser with the frontend written in C# with SharpDevelop on Vista. I found myself in the MFC code pretty quickly and can appreciate the similarities between this video and that, definitely a m

Oh yes brings back memories from when I worked on vBulletin customizations over a decade ago. No doubt it is a remnant of the early plugin features but also the hacks one had to employ with PHP before namespaces and a proper OOP structure w

While doing a gig for Nationwide years ago I got to see how difficult insurance is for coastal areas. Flood insurance has paid out way more claims than money they had in the tank long ago. Alternative capital investors rushed into this mark

Actually stumbled across this the other day- had no idea the Mach kernel was being used on Apple hardware before the Intel transition. MachTen was a paid-for Mach kernel based around BSD4.4 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/

In North Central Florida where temps get up to 100 or 110 (we're not on the coast) AC feels like it is necessary but I've known of people who have lived here without it. A series of fans and knowing which windows to leave open and

Alone in the Dark was very similar to an H.P. Lovecraft story and if that was what you were looking for that is what you would find. Relentless Twinsen’s Adventure was an intense fever dream of a fantasy that kept the player going on pure s

It is possible with EFI based boot loaders from what I've seen. I was looking for something similar and ended up discovering rEFIt and rEFInd. Although it isn't technically an OS it can autodetect entries from the MBR. http:/

According to the same benchmarks that test is a few versions older. Compare it to these and they are neck and neck (in theory). Consider that most benchmarking is subjective...depends on so many factors like is this Clear or Ubuntu Linux? A

It's worth mentioning that VB6 became a very potent tool for script kiddies to wreak havoc all over the place. This was ~14 years ago and there was no good decompiler back then. VB6 compiled to machine code (.exe) so trying to trace ex

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I'd been lurking and reviewing what if any of it I could grok since I heard about it over a live session of BSDCan. Looking forward to it becoming GA you've got my blessings for sure.

Kids growing up in poverty just have to grow up faster and those outcomes are a strain on their mental health. Consider they are born with a mission to “save the whole family” early on without the tools to do it. That is much more pressure
