Southwest 1380 would like a word with you. Southwest Airlines Flight 1380 was a Boeing 737-700 that experienced an uncontained engine failure[a] in the left CFM56-7B engine after departing from New York–LaGuardia Airport en route to Dallas

If the person on the phone had said “Capone, Al” instead of “Uh…” he’d possibly not gone to jail. Even ill gotten gains are taxable and the theory of one crime at a time suggests that even “other, unspecified” could be with paying taxes on

I would posit that the fee for tje airline ticket or the fuel and upkeep for your car is a transaction fee levied on cash transactions. Sure, the bill itself is untouched, but the fee is still extracted.

If all you require a warm bodies to do menial tasks or low- to no-skilled labor? Sure, Pakistan and Africa will be happy to provide these. If you are trying to rebuild your high-tech industry, however, you require educated people. And why w

I think they store data in DXF. Should be pretty standard thus.

There are reasons for tools like https://github.com/ixs/kvm-cli . It seems like every operations team built their own version that logs into the web interfaces, downloads the java stuff and then runs it locally... Just

I was just fiddling around with a SuperMicro X8 IPMI the other day. The X8 IPMI stuff is terrible, e.g. the warning that your Java installation is outdated on opening the website etc. Turns out, you can actually install X9 IPMI firmware on

The distance from Paris to Berlin is longer than Berlin to Lviv in Ukraine. Something that is often forgotten it seems. The European Union has legitimate territorial security interests and a expansionist empire right next door that is encro

Much wider hardware support with OpenWRT. If the hardware is accessible and supports Linux, there is an OpenWRT target for it. There’s even a x86 and a raspberry target. If you’re happy with DD-WRT, no pressing need to change it. But if you

What I find so baffling is that these experiences do not match my own at all . I've been running a non-profit ISP for about 23 years with a few friends. We've always been doing this from our own IP Space (/20) in RIPE. Eve

I appreciate the nuanced view. Let me add a bit of color though and point out where the "rumors" are wrong. Subscription management of RHEL has always been an issue. There were ample ways of getting an evaluation set up or a free

Uhm. That’s a nice straw man to support the “no true Scotsman” fallacy. Well done. :-) I did a bit of digging on Wikipedia. And based on the description in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/March_1933_German_federal_el...

There’s an argument to be made that the nazi Party never won an actual free election. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/hitler-was-not-voted... is a good example of the reasoning.

Based on the comments here I did a quick look at Amazon and was surprised to not even see a single vacuum only robot from Evovacs. At least not prominently showcased. Why are there only mixed models and what are the benefits? If I look at m

Yes. This is so important. Go on the internet, figure out who/which place near you is the predominant expert on that specific cancer and go there with your family member for a second opinion. I am based in Europe and do not have US num

I would generally agree with everything you said. These steps will get you job offers and employment. But based on personal experience in Europe I do find that networking with recruiters is a complete waste of time. Networking with past col

This depends on the importance you assign to on-call. And that value is usually defined by the likelihood of incidents and the impact of these. If you constantly have incidents that are critical, you can either spend the engineering hours t

Personally I rarely drink anything, so not applicable to me. But I had seen a good attitude from a colleague once: If you want me to put my normal life on hold for on-call shifts, that is fine with me. But then you need to pay me for that t

I fear you might underestimate the maintenance costs of forking. A nice anecdote I heard a long time ago was comparing the approach to custom engineering between SuSE and Red Hat. SuSE was always very happy to do custom engineering for payi

I saw a recent (< 3 months) offer from MSFT and it contained the „standard“ 4y vesting schedule with a 1y cliff and then quarterly vesting after. I think removing the vesting cliff is great but personally I am not worried as I never sew

The US companies are hiring, just like everybody else. Multi-nationals now seem to post most jobs as “remote” which means global. A smaller number is “US-remote”. Usually this is not for tax reasons but for business or security reasons if d

Super annoying behavior indeed. But thanks to open source, being able to look at the driver and understanding how that SFP check is done, some people at the Serve The Home forum were able to figure out which EEPROM bit needs to be flipped f
