I’ve never heard of sysadmin as a step down from programmer.
Well, actually you forgot the “not really” guys too!
Just him? I thought that was the general consensus.
Can't blame her. Once kids enter the picture chaos is assured.

Interesting stuff!

This is one of the funniest things I’ve read on HN in a long time, thank you!
Almost feels like a The Onion headline.
That was a great game. “Atomics!”
One thing I loved about Syndicate Wars was that, as you get more cybernetic limbs and organs for your agents they start breathing in their little profile screen.
Re:Ask HN: Do you miss being excited about programming/tech? on Monday December 21, 2020 @10:20AM (#25495694)
I get that feeling. Just getting old I guess.
Dune 1 fan here too. I will never forget the thrill of taking over a sietch with overwhelming force.
This could happen in a literal sense too. Aren't a lot of them over 60?
You could also make an app to have locals check with their hospitals and get the data. Or have the doctors at the hospitals participate.
This is exciting news!
That's a good question, why don't recruiting firms filter leads through technical guys rather than just looking for term matches?
Yes! Such a great game. I remember playing it frequently just to find all the sietches. Then when the atomics came in and Gurney Halleck was like, "OMG ATOMICS!"

This game had so many great moments. One that pops into mind is sending Fremen units to attack a Harkonnen base and they would literally start marching towards them on the map. Another is how the NPC's eyes wound randomly bulge when you were talking to them.

Maybe a little embarrassing, but overall beautiful just as a reminder of how innocent the internet, and most people on it, were back then.

I'd say most, but not all.
Re:Marvel Comics API on Friday April 25, 2014 @07:04PM (#7649625)
It's just info on the comics, superhero appearances, crossovers. Like someone previously said, just metadata. You can't pull Marvel Universe data like the height of all the X-Men from shortest to tallest or how many planets Galactus has eaten.
Awesome, I've got a similar setup, I use BitTorrent sync though to send the files. The problem with that is I need one local computer to be on in order for it to sync, then I connect that local computer's folder with Dropbox to view screenshots remotely. I've also been looking at removing the IR filter for night time viewing, there are a few blog posts on the c270 specifically, but I haven't dived into that part of the project yet.

No, that title goes to Leo Apotheker.
Yeah seriously, haha.

If you go further with this then one of you has to leave. Most likely her, but only because you own the company, of course.

I was the same way.
