There were a few using telnet before the web gained wider traction. For example, CDNow started out that way in 1994.

There is a long line in healthcare between a potential need to terminate a pregnancy and threatening the life of the mother. That line is now being made by politicians and AGs after the facts, not by doctors and patients.

I spent my primary education in Texas and got the heck out for college, for the opportunity available and the life experience, not because of any politics. At some point, I lost my use of “y’all” in my day to day lexicon. It is one of the few things I miss in a sort of lost innocence of youth way.

The success of birth control assumes the proper availability of education, a healthcare system that is available and not making bad decisions when being young or having bad luck when it comes to sex. The idea of abortions as birth control isn’t a concern. The choices are getting taken away from people who know what’s best for them for their health. There are families that want to have their child, but due to circumstances have their health become an issue during pregnancy. Doctors and health systems are chilled to take appropriate actions for the women. It’s nice to be well off and go elsewhere for health, but that option isn’t available to all. Even if abortion is elective, that is a healthcare choice left to the persons and health professionals. When my daughters consider colleges, it will be a topic of conversation and consideration.

Do you know what’s better than one antivirus software? Two antivirus softwares. I would not want to calculate the extra cost of additional servers to handle loads from each server just wasting cpu running AV software.

This is similar to when people create branches with just the Jira ID instead of using the ID and title slug as branch name. I’m often working on 3+ items at a time and need a quick way to know which branch is which; how do people that just use the ID as branch name know what the code changes are?

Android is already the dominant mobile OS in Europe by market share. Why would quality increase by going from dominant to more dominant?

If a resolution change fixes the issue, consider a short term fix of using displayplacer. It's a cli tool for updating resolution or placement of displays.

I use it in combination with Stream Deck/Keyboard Maestro to toggle the resolution of second monitor during Teams screen sharing to provide a lower resolution for display challenged colleagues.

In this incident with Alaska, the fuse for the recorder was not pulled within two hours and they lost recordings from the moment the door fell out. There have been other lost recordings in the past.

On Frontier and when it was previously Verizon I have only used my own router plugged into ONT via Ethernet cable. This has been 11 years now.

It’s not coming across in your comment, but Testcontainers can work with unit tests to start a container, run the unit tests and shutdown. For example, to verify database operations against the actual database, the unit test can start an instance of Postgres run tests and then shut it down. If running tests in parallel, each test can start its own container and shutdown at the end.

There was no suggestion that anything was done about it. Had to consider the cost of space vs headcount growth vs loss of productivity. Anecdotally, I never had a problem with open office environments, but understand why they suck.

It’s unclear whether the usages are with Pi or Pi Zero, although advice applies to both. I have found more use with the Pi Zero W versus the full Pi. Some stuff certainly could be done using ESP, but faster to get done on Pi for me.

Increased productivity and doing certain tasks in less time or with less people has been going on forever and certainly last 30 years in web development. The growing businesses use the extra capacity to expand in other directions whether new products or new features. The stagnant companies continue to struggle with less.

This is true. It required us to buy a new house with another room; versus more nice to have. Lots of public accommodations are maximized for four people such as restaurant seating or hotel rooms. Parents can no longer just split up with one kid.

The delivery service charges a fee to the restaurant per delivery. So the restaurant can eat the commission, average it across all customers or pass it along the added cost to the delivery customer.

I have LG Washer connected to my network. The network stack on my model is terrible and would constantly fail after period of time receiving multicast packets from other devices. I had to segment it on to it's own SSID/VLAN/IP Address and ensure no other traffic reached it. It has been stable since then.

Mine has only used 3MB over the last month, which seems low.

As to why. It is connected to home automation system and will announce on Sonos when the wash (or dry) is complete. I also had it connected to LEDs on light switch that would blink when clothes were in the machines waiting to get moved.

PowerBuilder is a word I haven’t heard in a long time. My first job out of college at a tech consultancy was developing a PowerBuilder/Oracle application for a client. Tooling was terrible compared to today, but it was a great LOB development tool.

And best if connecting the system to CarPlay is straightforward. We have a Jeep rental while car is getting repaired. It took looking up online and digging through several levels of ui to get the system to connect to the phone. While this is generally a once every year or two, for fleet sales, it is painful.

This is pretty common across a number of smaller cities in California, especially beach cities. I moved into current home in Southern California 10 years back and probably not in a position to move in to any home in the city now, even with total family income increasing over this time.

Took me getting to the first photo to trigger what gas meant in this context. Then made me think of Stuckey’s. But that was more from road trips in the 80’s. Maybe going forward there will be new brands pop up for EV charging and locally interesting foods.

There is a gradle plugin that can rewrite jar dependencies class files to be jakarta packages from javax. This makes updating your code the major issue versus also figuring out every dependency at once.

The arms are in three different positions with the processing composing three different frames based on which frame/composite it thought that “person” looked best.

Everywhere in LA is accessible in 20 minutes. That has been a long running statement/joke forever. It’s not untrue; you just have to give yourself an hour.

We anecdotally fit a number of these scenarios suggested. My wife in gas SUV commutes to work, but that is short 4-5 miles each way. I work from home with electric vehicle but do more errands and kids activities. After 4.5 years, I barely have 12,000 miles on the car; though, in the last year it has been closer to 5,000 miles, maybe.

StreamDeck and Keyboard Maestro are a great pair. w With KM’s ability to update the keys on StreamDeck I use it as dashboard for items in addition to actions. A key displays next upcoming meeting and changes color as it gets close. Another key shows the current VPN IP in case I need to target internal services back to my development instance. For Teams, I have button that toggles the resolution of second Studio Display to share desktop with lower resolution.

At my B&N they replaced the music and movies section with the larger toys section and added more writing products. They didn’t take away any space for books. Having the toy section is actually nice since the demise of Toys R Us.

I used to buy computer books there, but I mostly buy Manning ebooks now.

I spent the entirety of my elementary through high school life on a military base and schools on it.

1. On our base, school involvement was “easier” for the enlisted parent. They usually worked consistent hours and were available for after school involvement. They weren’t generally working late and night shifts allowing time to be involved with sports and other school activities.

2. Healthcare was provided and for regular services it was consistent and available. While we didn’t have to pay for it, we would often spend several hours at urgent care waiting to get seen when one of kids was not feeling well. It was a little strange that when I went to college, I had little understanding about how to go about seeing a doctor.

3. We had a small school which allowed everyone to know each other by name, even if we weren’t friends on day to day basis. We knew who was enlisted kids and who were officer kids and who were staff kids. This didn’t generally color attitudes, just part of who we were. It was a good community.

4. We had access to technology early and part of what led me to career in tech.

5. It was a very diverse environment of kids. It was just the way it was and I never gave any thought to race growing up.

6. We had a decent house on base (1950s brick) with each kid having their own room. If there was issues, like ceiling falling in on kitchen, base housing fixed the issues.

All of this took burdens off of my parents and us kids. I try to provide my kids with opportunities I had or even more than I had, but it certainly is a much different environment to do so.

QUIC handles the packet ordering and retransmission of lost packets before it is handed to the upper layer of the application. However, if you are just sending one channel of video packets through the pipe, it probably won’t buy you much more. Where QUIC additionally excels is being able to send and/or receive multiple streams of data across the “single” connection where each is effectively independent and does not suffer head of line blocking across all streams.

I was a on a jury back in 2002 where the prosecutor was presenting cell tower data to show the suspect was in the area. We are at 20 years from then and people are still committing crimes with their phones on, and the phone is more part of daily lives now.
