absolutely. I don't know if your camera body would allow it, but if you can get a die and extrusion, buying two or three tons of near net shape extrusion that you do a machine pass on, pass to anodizing, and assemble might reduce your cogs. Friend's COGS was cut by 2/3 switching from raw stock to custom extrusion.

Reasonable. I find anodizers are easy to find, good ones hard, and great ones almost impossible. I found a great one in Auburn and I feel lucky I did.

Iirc you’re paying for the batch. If you pick a color they don’t do a lot, you’re paying the same for 1pc or 2000. The dye and handling is pretty much the same.

I’m sorry to hear that. I know two of the blind users personally and they are active in discord.

I agree on captchas. Rocket.Chat was the previous platform.

I will file a bug against discord on the timestamp issue.

When I worked for Washington State University, one of our tests pre website update, was the developers had to use a desktop with a screen reader and the display turned off. I think we made great websites for blind users. That was in 2003, so things may have changed.

We (Hyperledger) got a ton of positive feedback from our blind users when we moved to Discord. Apparently the UX is extremely well laid out for screen readers.

I knew no Visual Basic. Microsoft was converting from XNS to TCP/IP and MSMAIL to Exchange. I wrote the automation to port mspager from MSMAIL to Exchange - if you were in a thread on MSMAIL, you cc:mspager, and everyone on the thread with a pager would get a page. I must have spent as many as six hours hacking something together to make it run.

Ah, the 90s. I also wrote a tool to catch people setting up remote dialins so a) they had internet from home b) could share those links with friends to grab stuff from the products server. It ran on Linux and used a network sniffer to catch people.

ITG was crazy!

They recently became a member of PQCA, too.

I worked for a Microsoft spin out in 2007 called ZenZui, which provided a ZUI for Windows Mobile devices. Then the iPhone was released!

I hate auto correct.

What is the Monroe effect, and why is it important?

I mean, yes? I've said this for years.

Turns out, it doesn't work for me.

Probably SS7

Mostly yes; however, there are large parts of the Atlantic and Pacific where that isn't true (radar contact). I know the Atlantic routes are frequently full of plans that left the US and Canada heading to the UK.

I have no idea what percent of the volume into the UK comes from outside radar control; if they asked a flight to divert, that may open multiple other cans of worms.

Welcome aboard to LF and thank you for making my life easier[0]!

I asked a pharmacy in Reykjavik if they sold it, or Tylenol PM, and the pharmacist reacted like I'd asked to buy a brick of cocaine.

Thank you for the clarification!

It used to be single-letter TLDs couldn't be registered. Here is a look into the current status I did a bit ago: https://github.com/ryjones/single-letter-tlds

Nice! Thank you for such a nice browser

Common thing for performers - they play faster on stage unless they're really disciplined (using a click track for timing or similar)

Pretty cool. I wish copies of \\juliet were available, and whatever was used in the porting lab. \\juliet was a machine rescued from pc-recycle that a co-worker in ITG turned into an "everything" machine for network installs of NT

Completely agree. It really means “take less vacation than your boss”

I always had a picture of me in front of a gas station exit door, showing me standing on the floor, not wearing a big hat, obviously taller than the 6' mark on the door.

Nice. I got a nice jacket for shipping SSDM for NSPG, but I lost it at some point

I regret not holding on to my Sun Microsystems merch with both hands.

That is exactly my experience. The brand-name Concerta is a smooth push all day, the generic is terrible.

If they’re ingesting the web as frequently as my Apache logs say, I would guess the imbalance is high

YouTube also functions as a network offset, no? Egress from YouTube helps balance ingress from everything, which should lead to cheaper network settlement.

I worked in WANOPS at Microsoft in the 90s, so my understanding of billing is literally decades old.

I grew up with a guy that had a similar experience escorting Russian people in Florida? Alabama? Somewhere in the south where we hid defectors until everything was straight. He was driving some guy around who thought it was a guided tour to Potemkin villages, so he pulled out a map and said pick a place.

They drove to whatever that town was and he said, pick a store. After a couple of hours, I think his mind was blown.

This was a fairly rural, poor part of the state. Later they went to Atlanta and the guy was gaga over... everything.

As an employee of an open source foundation of seven people, who sees hundreds of employees of said project, I guess I salute this move.

Microsoft did this post-Sybase split. People who had seen the Sybase code were contaminated, and had a bad time.
