There are many ways to go about getting your license, but if you decide you want to go the self-study route, I highly recommend using https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/. I used this tool for a few months before taking my exam at MIT. Also, it's worth studying for the higher class licenses - when I took my exam, the instructor offered and encouraged everyone to take the exam for the higher class for free immediately after.

Big fan of ForeFlight, as are my favorite pilot YouTubers Matthew Guthmiller(N367HP) and Stevo1kinevo (N851TB). Hopefully Boeing keeps the wind in the sails of the ForeFlight team.

True words of wisdom. Thank you kind sir!

> to work with younger guys as a 1:1 basis

I wonder if you can expand on this. As I get older, I find myself and my peers confronted with having to answer to younger, often less experienced, stakeholders. What kind of challenges have these presented for you and how have you adapted? What philosophy or attitude should us aging techies adopt as the gap between our peers widens?

I've done several of these and highly recommend it. Part of the puzzle is that you don't always know what the objective is; you explore a themed room turning knobs, pushing things and looking for anything out of the ordinary that might resemble a clue. It could be that you knock on a painting hanging on the wall and a hidden door opens, revealing a key. You remember that you tried to open a chest earlier but it was locked. So you try the key and the chest opens, revealing another clue.

If my years of adolescent beatings for anything less than an A taught me anything, it was: don't bring report cards home on Friday and sign your own progress reports.

I see a lot of folks mention guitar tab pro files with a few open source editors[1], but little mention of where folks are getting free pro files. What do you use and where do you get your tabs? I'm willing to pay if it's worth it.

FYI, 23andme provides an Late-Onset Alzheimer's Disease report[1] based via the ε4 variant but does not test for a person's full APOE genotype.

Self-control is hard and dopamine is a hell of a drug.

Is it possible the strange earthquake waves[1] recently reported were related or an early indicator of this event?

The only link on the page links to the explanation.

There is only one Yosemite.

It is unfortunate we surrender our freedom of movement and 4th amendment rights for the illusion of security.

Author here. This was a fun little side project. It's a ruby Sinatra app that parses events from the unstructured JPL Space Calendar page and publishes the calendar in JSON and iCalendar formats.

This was my first time using Digital Ocean to host a little dockerized side-project. So far, my experience has been great.

Alternatively, provide a Brewfile (`brew bundle dump`) and let users edit and install (`brew bundle`) themselves.

There's a similar effort gaining traction in the Los Angeles area: https://www.communitybroadband.la/

I've also noticed that local municipalities are getting into the ISP business. Beverly Hills, for example, is currently deploying a city-owned/operated fiber-backed ISP: http://www.beverlyhills.org/fiber

Yea, that is cumbersome and not at all user-friendly. I was operating under the assumption of a single app + device use-case at solely Google in my original comment.

Seems pretty easy to me, in my opinion.

If they didn't have the cashflow to save 20% down, they will likely run into issues affording the PMI on the FHA loan.

$993,567,000 is the total value of lettuce production for the year, not the cost.

This is my current and preferred primary machine. What is your contingency plan for when the logic board inevitably fails?

I don't want to speak for OP, but I think his point in referencing Marx is that our education system revolves around the collective and that the values and needs of the individual have been lost.

What's a good resource for finding and following new blockchain projects?

https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase appears to be riddled with similar issues. Good luck. At least you're not the guy whose $800K withdrawal has been pending since 12/22, also with no response from support.

What did you buy? I've now bought and sold many k's worth of Eth. It usually takes about a week for a purchase to settle and less when selling.

Not introduced this year, but I'd add Odroid C2 to your list for consideration.

I like the Apache Benchmarking tool: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/ab.html

The article states the planet is 11 light-years away from our solar system. Assuming you travel at around 60K km/h / 40K mph (roughly the speed of the New Horizons probe), it would take about 220,000 total Earth years to arrive.
