I just see this as an experiment to see if the system can survive without the bloat. If we need the bloat, the next person can just put it all back in. It's only 4 years.

This is my side hobby, a server side TUI protocol with a light browser like client that can navigate any TUI. http://uggly.bytester.net The primitives are good enough to build anyt…

I've been saying this in jest for years. KMS is a money printing racket for AWS. It only really helps you if someone walks out of a data center with your hard drive. For everything…

I fully agree. I made a TUI client/server framework loosely modeled around the concepts of CSS/HTML. One of my core design decisions was keyboard only input.

That's because askhistorians only let's other historians ask questions. I've tried asking some serious questions there before and I always got immediately deleted. IIRC it was alwa…

I will never buy a GM until they stop turning their reverse lights on when they're not reversing. This one small feature has wreaked immeasurable havoc on parking lots across the w…

It seems to only mess it up on mobile. Desktop Chrome seems fine. Mobile Chrome is all I've tested on.

I use ASCIIFlow all the time. I still haven't figured out how to get browsers to render the monospace fonts correctly see example diagram on this page: http://uggly.bytester.net/#h…

Yeah, I'm known as the ASCII diagram guy at work because I use ASCIIFlow a lot. Still not sure if people think I'm a joke. https://asciiflow.com/#/

I'm always looking for easy ways to visualize data from CLI so I built something I couldn't find an existing solution for. a := gree.NewNode("root") a.NewChild("child1") a.NewChild…

Yeah, I built a TUI framework for fun. I was playing with making a TUI browser where everything is rendered server side like html and streamed over grpc. http://uggly.bytester.net

I first came across Gemini after making my own HTTP alternative TUI-over-the-wire protocol (uggly)[1]. Gemini has the same motives as I had when I started, but I didn't switch to i…

I love anything TUI related. I spent a lot of time last year making a TUI-over-the-wire protocol with a TUI browser. It's somewhat related to this because it's generating a TUI dyn…

Not exactly what you're looking for but to solve a similar problem I've been working on a TUI-over-the-wire protocol. http://uggly.bytester.net

figuring out when to redraw the screen or sections of it Yes. I did a fun side project where I wrote a client-server protocol and browser for terminal user interfaces and I had to …

Because nobody would sign the offer letter except psychopaths and idiots.

This is basically how things used to work. The drawback is that young people with no credit can't build credit easily. You'd be disproportionately favoring those familial lineages …

So Google Books? [1] Only problem is that pesky copyright that makes you buy them [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Books

Or it's a trick and the mere fact that you're seeking answers and asking for help is the wisest move of all.

I have no idea why car manufacturers don't have phone holders built in. We're forced to buy cheap crap off the jungle website to suction cup, clamp, or screw into the dash. IMHO it…

I seem to recall that HAProxy and Squid used to do this too.

I hate the reverse light thing so hard. If I see a GM with reverse lights on I completely ignore it and never stop. Thanks GM for ruining something nice.

I spent a few months trying to build a TUI client server UI framework targeting such users. http://uggly.bytester.net

I have an old Ranger and I'm gonna try and do exactly this. Still gonna cost like $15k for Li batteries though.
