I work in the healthcare industry. Our hospitals have a line with the CDC, and are getting updated with live data. A public-facing website isn't the primary way of disseminating th…

In what way is this incompetent? They can only update when the data is confirmed. Once daily seems reasonable to me.

Pretty difficult to pass that off as crab, if they come still in the shell, like I've seen at every buffet I've been to. Granted, I haven't been to a buffet in over a decade. They …

Still gotta line it up.

My TV is blocked from communicating outside my network by a MAC-based IPTABLES rule on my router. I would just entirely disable WiFi on the thing, but guess what? Once you set the …

DDG is an entirely different search engine, they don't use Google. If you want to build your own engine, go ahead :)

p/q2-q4! p : pawn / : at q2 : queen's file, rank 2 - : moves to q4 : queen's file, rank 4 ! : good move!

Well, they're making phone games these days, and they made a bunch of edutainment PC games in the 90s (Mario Teaches Typing, Mario is Missing, etc.). They didn't make the CD-i game…

It's quite common on country roads in upstate NY, too. I'm not sure why the author tried to posit it as something that could only happen in severely low-crime areas.

Flying Buffalo, Inc. still runs traditional PBM games.

Just follow your hostname with a / to get around that. It's muscle memory for me at this point.

My FiiO M9 does a real good job at random. But the UI leaves a lot to be desired.

Modern hi-range IEMs come with a cleaning tool. Use it to clean the wax out, and they'll keep trucking. :)

I had one of the original 2012 Model B's (with the 256MB RAM) serving as a simple web server for years. I just recently retired it in favor of a VM. Other than that, I have: - A Re…

At least two!

If I might plug my own work: I did a 5-part lesson on my blog. It starts from zero knowledge and ends up with two Fibonnaci calculators (one recursive, one iterative): http://blog.…

Well now I'm feeling old.

Huh, you and I must live in radically different Americas.

As someone who has had music put out on tape in 2018 and 2019, and as someone who owns and regularly plays over 300 modern (post-2015) tapes, it's just a part of the scene for some…

The toast(1) as a sandwich(2) is an example of a toast sandwich, which I promise is a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich

I could be wrong, but I think it means 'spare' as in 'singular' or 'loose', not as in 'replacement' or 'extra'.

Computer Networking at SUNY Oswego, as taught by Doug Lea. At least it was used in 2012 when I took it. The hardcover is on my work bookshelf behind me now -- so useful I kept it.

Is there a way to browse available projects on your site? I'm interested in taking a look around, I love to build weird things :)

I for one have a large modern tape collection (underground metal, noise, ambient, and sound-art mostly), and I play them quite regularly.

Just about any. The SMB ROM is 31KB.
