I’m not sure about this one, but I recently installed LibreNMS (an open source nms) on my home network and it does a decent job keeping track of traffic on my ubiquiti edgerouter. …

I wonder how hard it would be to build a nice diff tool for IB files. If you could (semi) visually view the changes in a meaningful way, maybe a lot of this would be helped. Confli…

The cabin shown in the photo says it's a 747. It looks way too small to be a 747. Is it just me?

I don't think this is really that big of a concern. If you try to negotiate for more pay, I don't think anyone is going to rescind the offer. The worst case is that they won't budg…

Bringing an existing business you've been working on is against the rules. That should have been enforced by whoever was facilitating. If the rules are well explained and enforced,…

Are you sure there is malware? Maybe someone copy-pasted your id not knowing what they were doing, and they have a completely legitimate app otherwise.

It looks like EBCDIC supports lower case letters just fine. Any idea why they used all uppercase? I've noticed use of all uppercase on a lot of old systems, and always sort of wond…

Eating lunch out every day can definitely get expensive, and people don't realize that. Of course, you don't have to buy your lunch in order to not eat at your desk. Assuming you h…

It probably also depends on what you are trying to build. His initial example of building chips would probably be nearly impossible without a pretty big up front investment. If you…

I don't really think you need enough so that you never need to work again to consider yourself financially independent. If you have enough to live for a year or two, you can be pre…

I wouldn't think any significant form of active transport would be going on in a dead bird. Also, I think the sodium-potassium pump pumps sodium out, not in, although you could be …

Exception throwing is not that new. It's just a question of what is the style in the language you're using. In Java, for example, throwing exceptions has been the norm since JDBC w…

SEEKING WORK - Phoenix/Remote Lots of experience with Java and its enterprise stuff. I've been doing more Rails and mobile (iOS/Android) stuff lately, and I'm particularly interest…

My experience is somewhat limited to places that probably don't have the best developers in the world, but I think one of the major things I've noticed in people that I would consi…

I'm sort of confused. How does a vps differ from a regular server in terms of FTP usage?

I think by "bland" they just mean that they reject people who don't have enough of the conforming resume-building activities that they expect :)

I would see the wall street types more fitting into the "looter" category of Rand's philosophy. They are not directly creating anything of value, but instead skimming money from th…

SEEKING WORK - Remote/Phoenix I've got a lot of experience with Java, in both the web and mobile space. I did a lot of work on earlier mobile (J2ME, Blackberry, etc.). Now, I'm loo…

I didn't know Chrome already had the option to do click-to-play until I read this. Very cool, I'm turning it on now.

Switch to Mac? That would solve about half of the problems...

It seems like it might make sense to re-brand the app as a generic stream player. Then you could provide some sort of directory service to look up available streams where you provi…

It is perhaps excusable to list a small number of browsers as "supported", but couldn't they at least test one browser that works on non-windows platforms?
