UtahDave··on Practical SDR: Getting started with software-defined radio
$3k is barely getting started. Literally barely getting started.

But you love it anyway

UtahDave··on VMware is now part of Broadcom
VMware does have managed kubernetes
UtahDave··on Lockheed CEO Pitches Pentagon on Subscription Software
It's because investors and the stock market love regular subscription revenue. Companies with subscription revenue get much higher stock valuations.
UtahDave··on Running Dolly 2.0 on Paperspace
Simon, I opened an issue on your TIL repo with the pip incantation that I think will get the GPU working.

https://github.com/simonw/til/issues/69

I ran into that previously

UtahDave··on YouTube TV raises subscription to $72.99, inching closer to cable pricing
I do the exact same thing. I just cancelled YouTube TV. I'll probably get it again in the fall
UtahDave··on It's time to put cancer warning labels on alcohol, experts say
Last time I visited Disneyland with my kids, there was a sign by the entrance that Disneyland causes cancer.

Ok, it said something to the effect that there were substances on the premises known to the State of California that cause cancer. But the end result is that it was not clear WHAT was there that causes cancer, so it basically says Disneyland causes cancer.

UtahDave··on The i3-gaps project has been merged with i3
Or use Regolith Linux. They've done a fantastic job integrating i3 with Ubuntu, including settings, etc
UtahDave··on Firefox on Ubuntu 22.04 from .deb (not from snap)
I know. This screwed me over. I had an lxd cluster that was working very nicely. Then 1 of the 5 cluster members failed to upgrade when snap forced an upgrade and it put the whole cluster in a degraded state.
UtahDave··on Regolith Linux
I've been using i3 daily for about 8 years. I've been using regolith for the last 2 or 3 years because they've integrated everything so nicely with the Ubuntu ecosystem.
UtahDave··on Ask HN: Are you still using Keybase?
I am still using Keybase. I really hope it continues to exist
UtahDave··on Programming Book Profits (2008)

UtahDave··on Sony’s 2021 TV lineup runs Google TV and fully embraces HDMI 2.1
I recently purchased a TV with Google TV and I must say I'm really enjoying Google TV.
UtahDave··on Nushell – A New Type of Shell
I actually thought it did say "Nutshell" when I read the title. When I clicked through to the actual page and saw it was "Nushell" I came back here to verify. :)
UtahDave··on Microsoft Access: The Database Software That Won't Die
At a previous job an operations analyst built out an Access database because our IT group never got around to helping him build something more robust. It actually worked pretty well.

Once we started getting to scaling issues we imported all the tables into MySQL and had Access use the remote tables that existed in MySQL.

This worked really well. All the forms and various things were in Access and the tables in MySQL and this scaled out pretty well to many 10s of users.

A nice side benefit is that I was able to reuse a lot of that data in an internal web application.

UtahDave··on Books: an immutable double-entry accounting database service
Isn't this just Accounting 101?

I'm a little surprised they didn't use double entry accounting from the beginning.

Vote for Linux support in Actual here:

UtahDave··on Using Docker to Run MySQL Server in Your Development Environment
I actually laughed out loud when I saw that.
UtahDave··on Google – My Activity
I'm not the most tin foil hat kind of person. I don't mind some of the tracking Google does as long as I know about it.

This url shocked me.

They apparently track every app I open and use on my Pixel phone. They had individual entries for when I skip a song in Google Music. I feel physically sick. I went through and deleted most of what I could and turned off tracking where I could.

UtahDave··on Dumbass Home 2.0. How modern IoT works, how to automate your rented box today
My favorite quote from the article:

"Remember, S in IoT stands for Security."

UtahDave··on Ask HN: How to overcome fear of flying?
I used to get moderately anxious when experiencing turbulence while flying.

I tried a several different strategies that I researched, but I completely eliminated my anxiety by imagining that I was riding in a big Greyhound bus and we kept running over some really big pot holes in the road.

It seems silly to me, but it works great for me. I feel totally calm even during pretty heavy turbulence.

UtahDave··on My Python Development Environment, 2018 Edition
You just cd into your project's directory and run "pipenv shell" and it activates the virtualenv for you.
UtahDave··on Control VoIP server clusters with Python's asyncio
Need help with the SaltStack module?
UtahDave··on California to list glyphosate as cancer-causing
California thinks EVERYTHING is cancer causing. I took my kids to Disneyland last year and right after the security screen there was a Prop 65 sign saying (roughly) that "Disneyland contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer". How is that helpful at all?
UtahDave··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (February 2017)
