While we learnt from Layer 1, all the setup was in software so we didn't get any hardware. I think the idea is that we could examine Wireshark frames for the relevant layers.

There's this service [0] which is designed to set up quick WordPress installs for demos. The free tier uses the domain poopy.life and if you want to get a more professional domain …

Same with my college networking class. The professor talked a lot but we didn't do much besides look at HTTP requests in Wireshark. The most practical thing I had to do with networ…

They do ish. There's Medicare which is state sponsored health insurance, Social Security which provides a stipend every month in retirement and a bunch of NGOs they fund to provide…

What about shifting to a more stable form of retirement instead of the DIY solutions (401ks, IRAs, etc.) pushed since the 80s? As great as they are, there's a lot of BS marketing a…

Expensive glasses are expensive. There are online retailers where you can get glasses for $20 (not sure about more complicated prescriptions). I go to this place where I can get a …

There's a service called plastiq that charges a flat 2.5% fee that won't look like a cash advance on your statement. Otherwise, some landlords might let you pay via credit card.

Honestly, I won't mind that extra 40% if it meant that I could use the device for a few more years. Weight for me is a hard compromise, but the pre-touchbar Macs weren't necessaril…

Kinda hard to put it in the title, but I'm wondering how remote workers go about separating their work contexts from their personal lives. I'm an advocate for "work stays at work" …

I heard this perspective once. People struggle getting of cigarettes multiple times even after a year long break. So sure you fail at weightless, but you can try again. The only is…

Their response reminds me of the Monty Python sketch about the speed of an unlaiden swallow.

Issue is will you actually get those several hundred thousands for just "fairly minor sacrifices".

I doubt the difference would be that dramatic (see Hollywood actors and athletes). Also, what's the point of 500K if you're prohibited from working on personal projects, open sourc…

We can set the single setting (Do not track), but websites can ignore it.

I've heard about it too but I don't know what the solution would be. If a journalist was really knowledgeable about something they were writing, would they still be in journalism w…

Doesn't David Brooks and Barris White write for them as well?

It's more like hustling for investors, but it does take a lot of connections to pull something like this off.

Yeah, I was redesigning my website and decided to use system fonts. When I added the system don't for monospacw text, I was amazed at how nice Consolas came out.

It's crazy, but states and cities need to get money somehow.

I mean, a lot of Hollywood blockbusters cost at least 10s of millions so 1 million is small in comparison (though large compared to indie films).

B&H have started collecting sales tax [0] on lots of states after the Supreme Court ruling. States are going hard on collecting sales tax. Connecticut is even asking for online ret…

I don't see your source alluding too this "view of masculinity as toxic". The reasons in the article are that they couldn't be bothered, not a toxic view of masculinity. I have hea…

And those who can, were taught.

At the time I got it, I wanted to move to iOS. I couldn't afford the flagship 6S (even with monthly payments) and I heard rumors that they were going to make a 5s with 6S internals…
