I work in the healthcare industry. Our hospitals have a line with the CDC, and are getting updated with live data. A public-facing website isn't the primary way of disseminating this data.

Pretty difficult to pass that off as crab, if they come still in the shell, like I've seen at every buffet I've been to. Granted, I haven't been to a buffet in over a decade. They seem to have died out entirely near me.

My TV is blocked from communicating outside my network by a MAC-based IPTABLES rule on my router. I would just entirely disable WiFi on the thing, but guess what? Once you set the wireless up, there's no way to erase that data from the

DDG is an entirely different search engine, they don't use Google. If you want to build your own engine, go ahead :)

Well, they're making phone games these days, and they made a bunch of edutainment PC games in the 90s (Mario Teaches Typing, Mario is Missing, etc.). They didn't make the CD-i games. They did license out Zelda for it, though. Th

It's quite common on country roads in upstate NY, too. I'm not sure why the author tried to posit it as something that could only happen in severely low-crime areas.

Just follow your hostname with a / to get around that. It's muscle memory for me at this point.

My FiiO M9 does a real good job at random. But the UI leaves a lot to be desired.

Modern hi-range IEMs come with a cleaning tool. Use it to clean the wax out, and they'll keep trucking. :)

I had one of the original 2012 Model B's (with the 256MB RAM) serving as a simple web server for years. I just recently retired it in favor of a VM. Other than that, I have: - A RetroPie attached to my living room TV - A Zynthian ( ht

If I might plug my own work: I did a 5-part lesson on my blog. It starts from zero knowledge and ends up with two Fibonnaci calculators (one recursive, one iterative): http://blog.suspended-chord.info/tag/lambda%20calc

As someone who has had music put out on tape in 2018 and 2019, and as someone who owns and regularly plays over 300 modern (post-2015) tapes, it's just a part of the scene for some genres. There's a certain object fetishization a

The toast(1) as a sandwich(2) is an example of a toast sandwich, which I promise is a real thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toast_sandwich

Computer Networking at SUNY Oswego, as taught by Doug Lea. At least it was used in 2012 when I took it. The hardcover is on my work bookshelf behind me now -- so useful I kept it.

GMT games are awesome. And awe-inspiring. I'm on a Victory Point Games kick myself at the moment. A little less intense than GMT. But I'm no stranger.

Might I recommend Bill Banks' Ancients? It's quite good, if you can hunt down a copy. Or don't mind assembling one, since it was posted online for free by the publisher at one point, and nothing dies on the internet: http:
