I seem to recall that it's a reference in Protector (the first half) when the belters are going to meet the Outsider and they had a 'brain' to help with translation and needing an expert to keep it sane.

I just googled and there was a discussion on Reddit and they mentioned some Frank Herbert works where this was a thing.

I think that might be a structure/css issue. On Desktop it's to the left of the article (but I shrunk the window and indeed it puts it below the article).

I was hopeful Migadu was going to work for you. See https://migadu.com/procon/#no-mailbox-2fa-yet for why they don't (yet) offer it. It also probably explains why it's not more prevalent.

Current ones I know about:

  * https://industryarcade.ca/ (New West Sapperton-ish)
  * https://www.capcityarcade.com/ (Also New West Sapperton)
  * https://www.castlefunpark.com/ (East Abbotsford, just off the #1 @Whatcom Road exit)

I played at Lesters a few times.

There used to be a Chuck E. Cheeses in Burnaby (near where Lougheed Mall Skytrain is now) that I also used to play at. There's a current one in Langley that I've not been too so I am not sure if they have any games or not.

Sorry to be that guy, it's effect in this sense.

The Effects of Brexit and how it has Affected the scientists lives.

Yeah, I started on it and felt the same so I built

There's

too

Huh... I think the Pound is over valued or something. It's $699 CAD (currently discounted mind you) which is something like £380 (according to Google today).

I have a 12th Gen 13 but I will probably wait one more generation and either get that or a discounted Strixpoint MB (since it'll be a generation back and presumably cheaper).

FW asked AMD about lpcamm memory and AMD looked into it (assigned an engineer and everything) but came back and said no it couldn't be done (I am guessing without crippling performance).

I would be in the market for the MB only but I think I can build a 9950 based system cheaper, but I am not running AI models locally.

I don't know about the 16, but my 13 definitely does have one.

There's some mis-information here:

Yep on battery - I rarely use mine while traveling (and rarely travel) and set max charge to 60% so it should last a good long time, but it can be replaced when I need too. I replaced 2 in my black Macbook and once in my iPhone 3G (but I got 8 years out of the phone). When my work MB Pro had a battery bulge, the whole machine was replaced and presumably recycled since it was not repairable.

Internal, yep, but nvme > SATA any day.

They are usb-c yes, but the ports are adjustable (can mix usb-c, usb-a, display-port, hdmi, network, storage, etc) so it's not as restrictive as you seem to be implying.

On video, I am not sure if you think it's some kind of DisplayLink thing but it's alt-dp over usb, directly connected to the GPU.

My 13" has a headphone jack (and passable speakers) and a built in Mic (and both the camera and mic have switches to disable them).

2.5GB Ethernet is available as an expansion module.

I find the keyboard and touch pad okay! I don't really need a touchscreen.

On ports: I don't use the finger print reader (but it has one). I don't need SD card slot all that often (but is available). I don't have any FW devices (and 400Mbs vs 5-10Gbps). Don't need a modem or an IR Port

I don't use a dock (I do at work for my MB Pro - but it's mostly a permanent desktop configuration so I don't mind that it's connected via usb-c). The one I got IS compatible with my Framework 13 though.

I had a t61 for work and I loved it... in 2009 . I should have bought it from the company when I left but bought a black Macbook instead

https://pr.pico.sh/ and https://github.com/picosh/git-pr :-)

NixOS, with Cinnamon DE and all of that seems to work just fine. I am plugged in 99.9% of the time so can't comment on battery life but it doesn't seem to use much the hour or so when I do occasionally unplug.

I also don't use the fingerprint reader but that's supposed to be working too.

Can't vouch for it but https://blog.fabiomanganiello.com/article/gpstracker-a-self-...

Discussion: https://lobste.rs/s/bwadph/gpstracker_self_hosted_foss_alter... with some pointers to some alternatives.

Does anyone know if it supports networked play (eg fleet operations or even ship vs ship)?

Nice, I don't remember this!

We used to use the lformat option of the list command to generate temporary scripts working on a set of files. I had written an 'expand' command which would do ENV var expansion and globbing (if I am remembering correctly - it was a while ago :) ).

Curious about the name... ? It means something in French.

There is an episode of Bob's Burgers that did something similar to this. https://bobs-burgers.fandom.com/wiki/Brunchsquatch/Trivia#:~...

I built something like this about 13 or so years ago. a startup called contractual.ly - they got acquired by Coupa after I left.

I used the papertrail gem to track changes to the contract object and provided diffs and commenting and then allowing collection of digital signatures (Docusign was pretty new at the time so we rolled our own)

The founder has cofounded another one in the same space https://recitalapp.com/

I don't know for sure, I do know qt is (partially?) available. /me digs up a memory...

https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/xlibe-an-xlib-x11-compatibili...

iirc it is posix (but single user). I once 'ported' one of the xscreensavers (Galaxy - it only need to draw a single pixel) to the screensaver framework that became the defacto standard at the time and I got rc to compile (and run!).

I was hampered by only having access to the included C compiler which limited binaries to 65k.

I am looking to maybe support this in

https://github.com/vhodges/ittybittyfeaturechecker

probably via https://openfeature.dev/specification/appendix-c (I don't have time to maintain a bunch of providers).

We are evaluating new solutions at work and OpenFeature is something we're interested in. (I did the home grown solution that's in use by one product line)

From: https://devrant.com/rants/1101391/my-daily-unix-command-list...

unzip; strip; touch; finger; mount; fsck; more; yes; unmount; sleep.

There's a T intersection in Mission BC that has a stop sign that (for people turning right) should be a yield (at most) because to the left is a one-way after the intersection eg no one should be coming from there :) but the problem is it's single lane and people making a left there should stop.

When turning right, I and a lot of people barely bother slowing down. It's always a bit frustrating when someone does what the sign (and the law of course) says when the don't need too from a pragmatic point of view :-D.

Well, that's an unfortunate mis-spelling on the submission, but at least you didn't name it that :).

So a marketplace kind of app? (if so, you now have to build two audiences!) Do they self host after the sale? (Friction for b2b side). Is it enterprise (eg high touch sales - leads to long sales cycles)? Pay per post?

At the end of the day, it comes down to marketing and sales. Marketing:

  - Craft the messaging around the pain point you're solving
  - word of mouth
  - advertising (there are different kinds, not just cpc/google adwords: guest posts, external content sites/blogs/channels in your market/demographic, etc)
  - organic search (content marketing - this takes time - AND you have to promote the channels you are publishing too)
  - cold calling

I follow a fee for service financial adviser on YT and they have content marketing down: 2 videos every week and a newsletter. These channels show they understand the needs of their potential customers, demonstrate domain expertise, etc

Is it b2c or b2b? imo/experience, b2b SaaS are the only ones that ever succeed. If not subscriptions, how do you generate revenue? Really it's either build an audience or cold calling. Note: I've never succeeded with any of my startups (for a bunch of reasons) so take with a grain of salt.

I think they (and me!) were looking for news on

https://skarnet.com/projects/service-manager.html

They have code generators for a few other languages too:

https://docs.sqlc.dev/en/latest/reference/language-support.h...

Surprisingly not Java, but probably pretty easy to add support for more.

In my experience, I've never seen any instability, but I am NOT running production workloads there. I will say there were some growing pains during the time that Heroku changed their pricing since there was a large influx, but these seem to be largely resolved.
