OCW tends to everything about the course, except the video lectures.

I've seen so many courses with newer course-dates but the lectures alone are from older editions of the same course.

IIRC it used to be black circa 98 and 2000.

That's interesting. So, they won't mind if the amount is $10 or even $0 as long as the headlines read "SparkFun and $PatentTroll settle for an undisclosed sum".

> offer to settle

They can do that. But there isn't much leverage for them if they do that. They'll be giving their hand away and at that point SparkFun has almost no reason to pay a single dollar.

The author mentions that the product on which the suit is being brought about sold very few units and that if they really want to collect on their under-$500 in royalty, they are free to bring up an expensive-for-them suit to do the same.

If that ain't the way to sell something, I don't know what is!

Will check it out right away :)

I've been looking for a sane calendar service that's not Google calendar and there's just nothing that's open-standards compatible.

It should have all that, when you install the app. And you should probably be able to see what apps are using what permissions when. Both of which you can do already.

A prompt at every instance is just fear mongering.

You know how you didn't agree with the above comment and instead of just finding another comment you agreed with, you commented here to show your displeasure?

You see where I'm going with this?

I just downloaded it.

It's not so much the GUI in the terminal. I actually think it looks pretty slick. It's what I give in exchange - accessibility permissions are a big no no. And of course, verified email for a CLI utility is pretty much unheard of.

Do you have any plans to add first class support for SSH based or docker based remote development workflows?

The current Rsubl implementation kinda works. But is a bit hacky for reliable everyday work.

FYI, Gmail works on Outlook. But the ability to use extensions may be limited on some platforms.

What is this root server you speak of?

I had the pleasure of speaking with the founder way back when they were super early. Was really impressed but didn't have a very good use for it for me.

So glad to see them grow into what they've become today :)

I don't look at it as a place to answer "What is the best way to do X" type questions but more "What else is out there that can X".

Here's the thread mentioned above - https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=98742#p488...

Thank you so much for all the hard work. Very much appreciated!

If only Jetbrains added something more modern to sync files with a remote host, instead of the SLOW SFTP way they do it now, I'd be an instant convert.

Recently, I've settled for using my remote machine as the source of truth for my codebase (a monorepo) and only sync specific directories I work with locally.

Remote docker interpreter (python) + this is a workable-enough solution. It's not ideal - I still have to switch to the terminal to run git, tests, etc. Compared to this, the VSCode way is just simply better; especially if you don't use all the features of a full-blown IDE.

I've been doing something like this for about 3 months with very good success. This is also pretty much the only "complete" solution I could come up with that doesn't involve duct taping 3-4 different things and keeping them all in my head.

A simpler solution I had - One linux vm, SSH connection plugin in VSCode and a simple 4 line SSH config file (~/.ssh/config) does magic.

Here's my config file -

  Host <hostname>
     HostName <Hostname IP>
     User <User>
     IdentityFile <Identity File Path>
     LocalForward 127.0.0.1:8000 127.0.0.1:8000
     LocalForward 127.0.0.1:7000 127.0.0.1:7000

The LocalForwards are key in setting up any tunnels I need working locally - you can tunnel as many ports as you need.

I use the terminal inside VSCode - which means I can manage docker(-compose), microk8s, etc and anything I spin up, I'll just be able to access from my local host during testing.

You can still buy one today. But I can't comment on how the circuitry may have changed over the ages.

Gotta love hackernews!

This is wonderful news to host sensitive internal documentation without bending over backwards. Too bad it's only for enterprise accounts.

I'll take a look.

Okay! What if I can't run my own nextcloud server? I need a consumer solution - a non technical way of making things work.

If the reason people are leaving privacy, Microsoft doesn't fare much better.

I'd love to leave!

As soon as someone comes up with a half decent hosted calendar service that's half as good as Google Calendar.

People like to give GCal a lot of shit while comparing it with local apps; there's very few hosted services that are so versatile.

A neat little css property aside, isn't the separation of concerns a cornerstone of web pages?

Html - structure of the document CSS - appearance JS - interactivity

I could be wrong, but that's how I remember it. Is there an advantage to moving away from this fairly simple and unambiguous paradigm?

This was the case I was curious about. Thanks for the clarification.

Causation may be evidence for correlation. But the reverse is simply not true.

>"...correlation is evidence for causation"

Yeah...that's not how it works.
