My mid-range LG monitor has a built in KVM as well as PBP (picture by picture??) --- Whatever it stands for, I am able to split my 34 inch wide screen between my work Macbook and my personal computer (Linux) - I use an app that I've had forever called Synergy to share my mouse and keyboard between them seamlessly. You can even copy/paste across machines. I personally am hooked on my PBP widescreen+Synergy combo.
I've been coming in and out of the Python ecosystem for years as it isn't my primary tool but often is a piece of a project or something along those lines. Is it just my limited exposure, or is there a sort of stagnated, low-key 'GUI lib cold-war' going on in the Python space?
Many libraries, and framework-type things seem to have come and gone, while none have really 'taken hold', so to say. Is this the case? And, specifically, what is the big hurdle to a widely accepted GUI library in Python?
All controlled burns have to happen with government regulation for obvious reasons. Fire ecology and the legislation that regulates it in practice (read: research and it's influence on controlled burn methods) revolves mainly around constant disputes between agriculture and conservation efforts. This even winds all the way down to the age-old dispute about grazing cattle on public lands out west. Grazing on public lands leads to a reduction of fuel for natural wildfires in heavily grazed areas, leading to an imbalance in the natural fire cycle, causing the need to do controlled burns in the interest of human habitat and the economy rather than ecology. This ultimately causes a disruption is various parts of the ecosystem. In the high desert of Nevada, California, and other fire prone states that also are the home of agriculture that depends on grazing livestock, this issue is hot, no pun intended, and there is a constant dialogue going on between regulators and scientists researching land management methods in habitat where wildfire is not only necessary, but essential.
I wished upon a shooting star for comments in JSON sometime in the 2010s. That took a while, but I'm glad it came through.
-- EDIT: mainly back when we started using JSON to configure, well, lot of things.
I got the JSAUX dock while waiting for Valve to release the official dock. Never bought the official on release, the Gen 2 JSAUX with the extra USBs is awesome. Docked my deck to my TV and its both a media player as well as my console, almost never remove it except to dust :D. Also, the USB has recognized all peripherals I've thrown at it (I use desktop mode 98% of the time) and the ethernet works as expected.
I bet you could rewrite it in under an hour now. Programming in general is a lot like hacky sack. If you don't do it that often, it seems difficult, but you get a few kicks in. The more you do it, the easier it is.
Neat endeavor. PrimiTV is pretty good.
I wanna play the name game.
Perhaps something along the lines of:
'NOAD' - noad.tv - I could see a regular googler search for 'no ad TV'
Or some other word for 'dumb', 'not smart'. Like dunce.tv. dolt. simpleton. dullard. etc.
Maybe a play on the TCP error ENETUNREACH? hehe.
Just chiming in based on your comment. Support some developers and buy the pro version of DroidCam. This might sound like a silly suggestion but it works for me: Save an old Android with a decent camera. It doesn't have to have stellar specs, I use a 5 year old Galaxy. DroidCam works flawlessly for me using an old phone with a good camera both wireless as well as with USB connected. All of my software, including my browsers (all on Linux) see my DroidCam as a webcam with no hiccups. I also ended up getting DroidCam OBS and have used multiple phones with OBS to easily create a multi-camera-angle scene for fancy video conferencing/streaming. Add a noise cancelling / directional mic setup for $15 and you have a hacky, albeit, modular and rather quality setup.
GIMP has allowed you to connect a MIDI device via plugin for ages now. Unconventional, sure, but anywhere physical knobs, sliders, buttons, and toggles will facilitate productivity over software UI, MIDI is widely supported, works over USB, and is an easy to comprehend protocol.
Can confirm.
Source: Aforementioned 2000 CRV stolen once (Chicago =D) AND RECOVERED. Totally still working just dinged up a bit. They left it parked in front of a hydrant with the doors and windows open! Insurance totaled it, but said I could keep it.
That's the story of why I still have and drive a 22 year old, 5-speed, 2000 CRV. Hard to sell with the 'rebuilt' title, still runs great though. Dented up like a truck, but only has 135k miles. It's a keeper. My 'city' car.
Dad? Is that you? :-D
Is my 2000 CRV going to be safe?!? Bah, 2012-Current. *Misleading headline.
West Aros. Like... Westeros? Is that where they got that from for GoT?
They learn so young these days! Never ceases to amaze me. They are totally set up for this industry. Would hire 10/10.
lulz @ "...not even in a hand-wavy rhetorical sense..."
I swear I contemplated going in to wildlife biology as a kid, but decided against it because I figured there was no more cool, furry animals to discover. I also may have misguidedly thought this was the field to enter if I wanted to find Bigfoot. :-P
Exciting for the biology crowd especially. Very cool. Obligatory dark realization: Any new species discovered these days must almost certainly immediately recognized as endangered. Still cool.
So glad I caught this comment before I gave that article a chance to make me wretch.

Used to check the weather, forget the url. =P
Wow you handled that awkwardly critical comment like a champ! Haha. Cheers.
Perhaps 'exploit' wasn't the best choice of words :-D. He just had me install OSs/upgrade boxes from time to time after it was clear that I enjoyed it. It was win/win really.
FreeBSD is the reference for OS X, but they used different kernels. Many of the BSD flavored behaviors are/were retained, however.
Nice to see some love for FreeBSD. My intro to +nix in the mid 90s started with FreeBSD as well. Back then, I used to tag along with my dad in the summer to work occasionally (two working parents, and dad ran/runs a small telecom business). In the supply closet I saw a shelf with boxes lined up that all had a cool-ass little devil on them. Being interested in computers from my fathers influence, I asked him what the 'Devil Software' was in the storage closet, and he explained that it was an operating system like Windows sort-of (which at the time I was already well in to understanding how to re-install =), but that it ran on Voicemail Servers - stuff with specific needs - because it was very 'flexible in configuration', as he put it. He then gave me a voicemail box and the manual, and said he would give me $20 if I could get the 'Devil Software' installed on the machine from a blank HDD. This. was. huge. $20 to a 13 yr old was serious dough. Eventually I was successful (to his surprise? or dismay? haha since he was out 20 bucks). He was proud, and that made me proud, and that started the journey that is still ongoing to this day. Will note, father exploited me for cheap labor throughout my teens as my interest/experience with BSD, and eventually GNU/Linux increased =). Although I am a GNU person these days, FreeBSD is always close to my heart, and helped me understand the +nix ecosystem from an early age.
I agree with Amateur as well. The Olympics (until the 90s [think USA Dream Team]) were only open to AMATEUR athletes. No one would argue that Olympians weren't skilled, and Olympians never felt slighted by this category. It simply implied that athletes trained and participated in a sport out of love for the game rather than for profit. Amateur literally describes: 'pursuing an activity independently of their source of income', that's all.
Followed the link expecting to see an open source support ticket solution. I quickly remembered that there are other types of tickets...
