Did some digging and found this: https://www.enworld.org/threads/the-rpg-origins-of-fallout-p...

From what I recall is it was then they lost the license so they make SPECIAL

I was just going to suggest this. Click is a great code base to learn form.

You know i took the train to Boston to PDX, it was really relaxing. Not quite walking but definitely a lot different then a plane...

If you use a Mac and just want to mess around with linux try something like Orbstack(https://orbstack.dev/) to start up VMs and mess around. The benefit of this is you're going to break things a bunch as you get started. Going from there I'd start looking automating the deployment of the various components the 'old fashioned' way aka writing shell scripts/using SSH. Once you do that then go to using things like Ansible or Terraform etc.

Agreed. If this is a service I'm already paying for and if it's basically just doing 'CRUD' actions that are (hopefully) low in resource usage I'd be really uncomfortable with a pay-per-use model. Rate limiting sure, but I don't want another thing I need to price in my head as I'm writing code.

hello definite coworker

I definitely knew people in the Wayfair logistics org that used the same kind of algos that we used at work with their Factorio games...

Following up on this I think some primary differences were in management style. He tends to be more top down then I prefer and definitely more top down then when I’ve been an EM. That being said having a pre-existing relationship with him kept me around instead of bouncing after 6 months or so. There was a sense of trust that I wouldn’t have with a stranger.

Thanks! I’ll open it up this week and look at it.

I work for my friend at startup. He’s not a founder but has a serious vested interest in it. There was some rockiness to start but we adjusted to good working relationship. On my part it took a bit of ego swallowing but I viewed it as a good life lesson.

Oh I'd definitely be into this... i should ask around.

My favorite one that isn't listed here is the Outbound Systems laptop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outbound_Systems My parents got me one in elementary school in the early 90s to help with my learning disabilities. From what I recall they had ripped out the guts of an SE or SE-30 and turned it into a laptop. It ran on camcorder batteries. I've still got it in my basement but can't get it to boot up at all.

I’d definitely like this for nomad. We just started using it at work to manage running jobs on a heterogenous group of machines and it’s really a great product.

I've been using it for taking output from our data validation steps and bundling that up with the data that was validated into one neat artifact we can download if there is an issue and explore manually.

Sorry!

Forced to switch. When Shopify acquired deliverr they were forced into deliverr’s org. When deliverr was sold to Flexport they had to go with it.

I have friends that have gone Shopify->Deliverr->Flexport. It’s been a real roller coaster for them. Hopefully it settles down a bit.

GeForce now works pretty well. I use it for gaming while traveling and haven’t had too many issues

This would be really great. I could see if pairing well with a tool like pipx for quickly sharing utility scripts.

Plus he pitched a no hitter for the Red Sox in 2002. What a well rounded guy.

ha, i've been an operations research engineer off and on for a few years now... definitely intrigued.

I had this problem with a ton of leftover sanitizer that my parents got me. I eventually let it 'cook off' in the sun. But i did get to show my kids how ethanol produces an 'invisible' flame.

That's a bummer, I really liked using bit.io for little experiments. That being said i never paid for it so i can't really complain.

3+ billion is a damn expensive "side quest"...

I've been using this, it's really excellent

Worked in this industry for a bit. Lots of ways to tell. Like where did the drive start? Did it start at the same address as your residence?

Also most likely they care more about you as a driver then you as a driver of your car. At least in terms of rating your ability.

That sounds gnarly. This was in Western New Hampshire

Maybe they’ll pull an MS and go straight to GPT X
