MarcysVonEylau··on The Unix Magic Poster
To anyone interested in obtaining the other two posters in the series (UNIX Views & UNIX Feuds) here is some information from Marshall Overacre, son of the author:

> "This poster is extremely rare. My father illustrated this series. He was not happy with the quality of the posters and inadvertently made them rare by throwing them all away. He still has the other two-a small handful that he is willing to sell." [0]

> "This is my father’s artwork. Believe he still has some to sell. I can’t recall which of the pictures he was not happy with the posters and threw almost all of them away. One of them is very rare." [1]

> "This is my father’s artwork. Believe he still has some of these for sale. He will sign if you’d like." [2]

This reminds me of the Apollo 1 incident [1], happily without any casualties. If it turns out to be a design fault, I'm glad they caught it now.

That sounds like good patent troll. Did they create any product using the patented technology or just Sue everyone?

On the other side of the spectrum we got "Things I don't know as of 2018" [1]. I really appreciate when people share what they do and don't know.

MarcysVonEylau··on Flightradar24 – how it works
That presentation is something that interested me in ADS-B in the first place. Not because I want to spoof airplanes, but because of novelty of this project.
MarcysVonEylau··on Flightradar24 – how it works
You are always welcome to feed more than one service. Even when you get a free receiver from the company, nothing stops you from repurposing the data and feeding elsewhere.
MarcysVonEylau··on Flightradar24 – how it works
It's worth pointing out that you can get a free ADS-B receiver from sites like Flightradar24 or Flightaware.

The hardware is often proprietary, but they must allow you to re-purpouse the data received by the antenna (it's public domain).

MarcysVonEylau··on SpaceX to lay off 10% of Workforce
It all makes sense when you look at basic facts.

Rocket reuse became a normal occurance, probably earlier than the majority of the industry anticipated. Their competitive pricing took the market by storm, changing the equation of sending anything to space. There are less new payloads to launch in 2019, because it takes much longer to contract and build a satellite than to send it to space, and the market hasn't yet adapted to this new mechanic.

Their need for manufacturing new boosters scaled down greatly because of reusability. You cannot reasign all engineers to other projects, some must go.

On top of that SpaceX is moving to new risky projects like the Starship, and they need to cut any fat that poses risk to their long term plans.

Lastly, as few pointed out, it's a great opportunity to get rid of underperforming employees and restructure the company.

MarcysVonEylau··on Goodbye, EdgeHTML
One gripe I have with FF is that their DevTools are crap... Chrome is a really unprecedented WebDev platform for me.
MarcysVonEylau··on Modifications to Google Chromium for removing Google integration
Everyone says to dump Chrome, and suggest other platforms that are comparable from a users perspective. But what about DevTools? Chrome has by far the best Web Development capabilities out of any other browser. Is there any single alternative or a set of tools that can match it?
