Re:GTK Krell Monitors on Saturday May 17, 2025 @12:55AM (#44012128)
I have used gkrellm since 1998 when my preferred wm was blackbox and playing MP3s in xmms was cool. Still run it today on Cinnamon. RIP Bill and thanks for the OSS contribution of a lifetime!
Re:Docs like code in basic terms on Thursday May 08, 2025 @01:23AM (#43923301)
This works amazingly well for regulated software markets such as medical devices that need a lot of review/approval and traceability. Markdown is much more AI and script-friendly yet still layman readable. The workflow is significantly faster than industry standard tools like Windchill which are like git with a 1985 GUI in front of it.
Could they 3D print in such a way as to make pre-fabricated joint implants a thing of the past?

It seems it's a last name of an author and not just the arch nemesis of Sherlock Holmes. ;)

Re:Retiring Tucows Downloads on Thursday January 21, 2021 @07:59PM (#25866905)
End of an era. I remember using them consistently in the mid- to late-90’s. Sad to see them go but change is the only constant in life. Goodbye old friend!

That's scary.
The article seems to suggest that turning to carbon capture is our best option currently. If that is the case then what is the best carbon capture technology we have right now and could it even make a dent?

Shameless plug: have you tried our orthopedic PACS?

Re:Delivering Billions of Messages Exactly Once on Thursday June 29, 2017 @01:39PM (#14665208)
Why do I get the feeling this is repeating TCP features at the Message level? There must a protocol that can hide this exactly once need away. TCP doesn't create downloads, generally, that are bad and fail their checksum test, hence packets that make up the file are not duplicated.
I'm reading his autobiography right now. Fascinating life of both the man and his companies if you are interested: https://www.amazon.com/Elon-Musk-SpaceX-Fantastic-Future/dp/...
I agree, but I am just too lazy for that. Mine are all one char:

  alias b='/usr/local/bin/git checkout -b'
  alias a='/usr/local/bin/git add
  alias d='/usr/local/bin/git diff HEAD'
  alias c='git commit -m'
  alias i='/usr/local/bin/git pull origin'
  alias o='/usr/local/bin/git branch -avv | grep "\*" | cut -d\ -f 2 | xargs -n 1 /usr/local/bin/git push -u origin'
plus:

  alias g='/usr/local/bin/git log --graph --oneline --decorate 
  alias v='/usr/local/bin/git branch -avv'--all'
  alias h='/usr/local/bin/git log -p'
can be useful.
Re:Becoming a CTO on Friday October 14, 2016 @11:32PM (#12712598)
You are definitely a CTO. And as one I agree completely. Without creativity in the hands of the craftsman who actually make the product there is no craft, only a tool.
Re:Opposition to Galileo was scientific, not just religious on Saturday October 08, 2016 @05:19PM (#12668778)
The opposition was not scientific. Read the book "The War on Science" and keep thr enlightenment from slipping away.

Command-line and git aliases will get you most of what this has to offer unless I'm missing something.
Re:On DRY and the cost of wrongful abstractions on Sunday September 18, 2016 @04:06PM (#12526957)
Figure out what varies => encapsulate that. Could be behavior, structure, or creation. This idea that you can avoid DRY in a positive way simply means one has yet to recognize that first statement.
Re:How many x86 instructions are there? on Thursday August 25, 2016 @01:56PM (#12361033)
tldr; What is the answer? Curious.

Yeah, I'm old. I used blackbox on Linux in '98. Nostalgia.
Re:What’s New in C# 7.0 on Wednesday August 24, 2016 @10:15PM (#12356577)
Feels kinda crazy to see tuples and pattern matching "just arrive" when other languages have had them for years.

For a second there I thought the Window Manager Blackbox had risen from the dead. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbox
Re:Health Care Is a Business, Not a Right on Tuesday August 23, 2016 @01:53PM (#12345795)
The current problem is the pricing is completely non-transparent hence consumers cannot choose based upon price. No one knows what anything costs until a bill arrives much, much later. In addition, it is extremely opaque how the numbers on the bill are arrived at.

Thanks for the links!
I think it would useful if the admin could opt-in to have limits enforced. That is a central tenet of kanban methodology. While the default could be no limit, I don't see why self-limiting should be prevented. I can open an issue if you like. :)
