I’m not sure about this one, but I recently installed LibreNMS (an open source nms) on my home network and it does a decent job keeping track of traffic on my ubiquiti edgerouter. It uses snmp so should work with most routers, I imagine. I

I wonder how hard it would be to build a nice diff tool for IB files. If you could (semi) visually view the changes in a meaningful way, maybe a lot of this would be helped. Conflicts would still be hard to merge, but maybe something could

The cabin shown in the photo says it's a 747. It looks way too small to be a 747. Is it just me?

I don't think this is really that big of a concern. If you try to negotiate for more pay, I don't think anyone is going to rescind the offer. The worst case is that they won't budge, in which case you can still take it. If so

Bringing an existing business you've been working on is against the rules. That should have been enforced by whoever was facilitating. If the rules are well explained and enforced, and you keep an open mind, startup weekend can be pret

Are you sure there is malware? Maybe someone copy-pasted your id not knowing what they were doing, and they have a completely legitimate app otherwise.

It looks like EBCDIC supports lower case letters just fine. Any idea why they used all uppercase? I've noticed use of all uppercase on a lot of old systems, and always sort of wondered why. Is there a good technical reason? Maybe a dat

Eating lunch out every day can definitely get expensive, and people don't realize that. Of course, you don't have to buy your lunch in order to not eat at your desk. Assuming you have a place you can go (in this guy's example

It probably also depends on what you are trying to build. His initial example of building chips would probably be nearly impossible without a pretty big up front investment. If you are building something with software, it is a lot more like

I don't really think you need enough so that you never need to work again to consider yourself financially independent. If you have enough to live for a year or two, you can be pretty independent. Yes, you'll have to work and earn some more

I wouldn't think any significant form of active transport would be going on in a dead bird. Also, I think the sodium-potassium pump pumps sodium out, not in, although you could be talking about a different pump? In the absence of any pumps

Exception throwing is not that new. It's just a question of what is the style in the language you're using. In Java, for example, throwing exceptions has been the norm since JDBC was invented in 1997. PHP is definitely different in that exc

SEEKING WORK - Phoenix/Remote Lots of experience with Java and its enterprise stuff. I've been doing more Rails and mobile (iOS/Android) stuff lately, and I'm particularly interested in taking on more projects in that arena. http://alwold.

My experience is somewhat limited to places that probably don't have the best developers in the world, but I think one of the major things I've noticed in people that I would consider to be mediocre programmers is a lack of desire to unders

I'm sort of confused. How does a vps differ from a regular server in terms of FTP usage?

I think by "bland" they just mean that they reject people who don't have enough of the conforming resume-building activities that they expect :)

I would see the wall street types more fitting into the "looter" category of Rand's philosophy. They are not directly creating anything of value, but instead skimming money from the ventures of those who do.

I didn't know Chrome already had the option to do click-to-play until I read this. Very cool, I'm turning it on now.

It seems like it might make sense to re-brand the app as a generic stream player. Then you could provide some sort of directory service to look up available streams where you provide access to CBC, along with other streams from other provi

It is perhaps excusable to list a small number of browsers as "supported", but couldn't they at least test one browser that works on non-windows platforms?
