This is great until your job outgrows a single computer or you want to have redundancy. Also, chains of bash tools don’t have the best error management when something chokes in one of the middle steps in the pipe. You can still leverage simple bash tools for a lot of the under the hood stuff, but you start needing something more to act as the glue petty quickly when you scale. KISS should still apply.

He’s already started with the rants against the network to create the excuse for him fucking this up. Everything that doesn’t go his way is always someone else’s fault. Most toddlers are more mature and accountable.

All that I can picture is a tug o war where one side is struggling and the other side lets go, and they all fall down. Only in this video you hear pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop as the line lets go.

Wasn’t Gooch Gary Coleman’s bully on Different Strokes?

Look at mister fancy pants with and assembler.

How about entering straight opcode, operand with only a hex keypad and two pairs of 7 segment LEDs. You can only see one set of numbers at a time. You had to write it out on paper to be able to keep track and count positions so you don’t use your spot.

I had to do this as a project in school. Two 8088 units that we breadboarded to a UART that we used to drive a fiber optic link to communicate with each other with a basic protocol. All descrete components hand wired and coded.

It made you tie all of skills together into a full system of hardware and software.

The LED elements last a lifetime, but the driver transistors burn out as frequently as traditional bulbs

This seems the most likely reason. It is sort of like they teach in first aid. You don’t say someone call 911 because everyone thinks someone else will. You need to tell one person directly.

The problem here is that it is not a group of untrained bystanders stumbling upon a surprise emergency. There is supposed to be a pre-established chain of command and group to take these reports and ensure that they are investigated.

Hell, I was part of events where governors made appearances, and the county had their communication command post setup and even gave radios and a briefing to our volunteers at gates and all of the area leads to report anything directly to the command post.

Isn’t a score in the 70’s borderline mentally disabled?

Wouldn’t the value of this advertising be a direct campaign contribution that could violate campaign finance laws?

Not quite zero. There’s always Republican politician.

Forget about the content. If any company spam text/emails me about any political bullshit I’ll ban/boycott them just for wasting my fucking time. Fuck spammers.

All of the Trump rally photos that I have ever seen have an audience behind him. If they did the same here, then any missed shots would go into the audience.

The upgrade looks like a pain in the ass

It really depends on where the office is in relation to your home.

Before covid and going WFH, the office was only 5 miles away on roads with no traffic. I would go back to this, no problem. Just enough to keep you on a schedule and get out of the house.

The biggest benefit of an office is that when you leave, you are gone until tomorrow.

When everyone is WFH, you never completely leave the office. I know boundaries, but in many cases, the lines can get a bit fuzzy.

You mean Fxctory

It depends on the exact nature of the failure. Controller errors are usually a complete failure. Media failure (magnetic spots on the disk or failed cells in ssd) are often sporadic and only impact data stored in those spots.

Regardless, drives rarely give you any warning. Look at any warning as a gift and get everything off and replace it ASAP.

Without all of the other stickers, one might assume “Life Is Better With Pig” was referring to their dating preferences.

A real bacon, pork roll, or other pork fat + salt processed meat sandwich needs to use waffles instead of bread. Don’t forget the Mrs Butterworth syrup because you need your daily dose of high fructose corn syrup too.

Bonus for the toilet right there in the bathroom with no door.
