I no longer smoke as a habit, but when I have to travel solo (like for work) I sometimes will buy a pack just so I have an excuse to strike up a conversation with other humans without being called a creep or weirdo. "Hey, you got a light? What brand you smoking? How are you liking the conference so far?"
But you don’t have to run pi-hole on a pi. I run it in an Ubuntu Linux container on my Proxmox server.
Awesome advice and a great way to prepare for unexpected death or incapacitation (if you are the one in your family who usually handles all this stuff). I only would add that if you do go ahead with this, use tools or a medium that mere mortals are familiar with. Assume the person who needs to read it only knows git as a Larry the Cable Guy reference ("git 'er done!").
This is great stuff. I’ve had this bookmarked in my browser for almost 20 years!
I should see what else I have in there…
But… Hawaiian pizza?
But with 600% more smug.
This doesn’t even really need reporting when every rando-vegan out there is running up to people they don’t know to announce shit like this.
Downvote me, but you know it’s true.
Ah yes, the “they were asking for it” defense.
Not an expert, but I did recently upgrade the pickups in an older guitar. I learned that not all pickups are wired to the guitar the same way. Seymour Duncan HotRails had to be connected differently than Seymour Duncan VintageRails, for example. This would be a complicating factor to any hot-swapping system.
Like the old Cauzin Strip Reader.
Man I wish 9-5 were acceptable here in the midwest. I wish I could move (I'm in my sandwich years now, caring for parents and teens in high school). Everyone here works farmer's hours and suggesting otherwise is equivalent to admitting you are a slacker.
WFH orders during COVID19 have been a kind of blessing, with regard to my DSPD. I can sleep in an extra hour or two and hit that 8AM meeting 5 minutes after I wake up. When we have to go back to the office in June, I'm going to have a problem though.
I work in tech, but I live in Michigan and work for the auto industry where the norm seems to be to wake up at 4 and start work with the farmers at 6 AM. I'm a "late" morning person since I prefer to start at 8 or 9.
This has been held against me my entire 25 year career. 15 more to go and then I can sleep how the hell I want.
This is how to learn to mimic a new language and avoid actually learning it. It’s the difference between carrying around a French phrase book and being able to converse like a native.
Credit is due the executive assistant who informed the CEO of the call instead of triage-ing it to the bit bucket.
Yet some products are clearly, specifically designed and marketed to addicts. Consider fortified wines (aka “bum wines”). Night train. MD2020. Thunderbird. I think it's possible to do the same with any product, including video games.
"Scientist". "Architect". "Engineer". Even "Developer".
Bah!
All borrowed titles that try to make what we do sound more important to those who really do those things.
Coder. Programmer. You're either encoding logic or data into something a computer program can use. Even if all you do is draw fancy diagrams.
Off-topic whining. Downvote to oblivion.
Yes, you can. Get to the final signing then refuse to pay it. Tell the dealer you'll walk if it isn't waived. I do it every time.
Nerds 2.0.1: A Brief History of the Internet
Robert X. Cringely's follow-up to Triumph of the Nerds was pretty good. It looks like you can watch the whole thing fit free on line now too - check the links at the bottom of the Wikipedia article.
As long as you remember the first rule of Best Buy (never buy cables at Best Buy), you can find prices as good or better there than Amazon, and I have to say, the people there are very helpful and friendly. I especially liked their Magnolia store-within-a-store concept for higher-end audio products.
My guess is the guy worked for a Tier 1 auto supplier. It's probably the biggest reason why any company would open a field location in Detroit that's large enough to warrant the presence of several director-level staff.
Also, it's quite typical that an auto OEM would contractually require a supplier to have safety inspectors at each site, so he may not have been as forgotten as he thought.
Just a theory.
What's the setting in httpd.conf for that?
I've got news for you. Unless you own the business, your work of any kind is a cost to be repressed.
Or, it's the sandy base you get when geographically surrounded by water. Or, it's the laws that removed weight limits for the trucking industry. Or, it's the lack of funds in poor areas. Or, it's the extreme changes in temperature combined with high water tables and wet weather. Or, it's a combination of all the above.
This is great stuff, but the decision will likely be made based on where Amazon execs in Seattle can get a break from Seattle weather. That ain't Detroit.
Or perhaps based upon a kernel of truth?
Willie Horton was used in this way to have an incredible negative impact on the Dukakis campaign in 1998. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willie_Horton
I would probably be considered high income/moderate wealth. I started tracking everything with Quicken back in the 90's when I realized I was just pissing it all away. I switched to MoneyDance when intuit started screwing with the Mac version of Quicken, and it does what I need. I track and categorize every expenditure and every account: cash, asset, liability, retirement, college, investment. I learned to do this from the book, "The Millionaire Next Door". They had results from a study they did that showed people who spend more time watching their money tend to have more of it over time (i.e. even if they started with little). After a while it becomes routine. I spend collectively 1-2 hours per month working on my finances.
I remembered reading this on bored.com back in the 90's when, well, I was bored. Here the original story from the Archive:

I don't see a way to do triplets with this notation.
I've seen this before. Capital Factory in Austin had a quiet room just like you describe. It was full of people when I was there.
So, in other words, an AI that can pitch a book?
