about
I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

I tried to do this a few years back and it was completely impossible to order anything from the Google store and have it delivered to Portugal. Although I routinely rebuilt Android to reflash my Nook …

Regretfully, iTerm doesn't support this, and it's bitmap support hasn't made it out of beta yet. (also, I can't run the new betas, probably because they're not properly signed…
comment
Figure 1 alone is a good reason to peek at the RFC. So glad someone is keeping RFC-style "diagrams" alive :)
comment
Wow. I used VT220s and 230s in college, and remember those days fondly (they were hooked up to VAXen, and there was nothing quite like it, really). I wonder if I could get a keyboard and enclosure som…
comment
Pretty neat, although the "training set" probably doesn't comprise what most people would need. I'd like to see a version of this based, say, on React examples. Might save me some …
comment
Well, I'd be happier if Pypy 3 were faster. As it is, I can get pretty decent speedups with 4.0 (2.7.x) but not for python3 code in my use cases...
comment
Riiiight. Let me see if I can toss that in without breaking something else in the CSS.
comment
OP here. Yes, some of the stuff we deployed was packaged as .deb files - after vendoring all the dependencies.
comment
Well, I couldn't use wheels on Python 2.6 (and certainly not use a wheelhouse properly in the environments I had to tackle back then), but yes, this is a good approach.
comment
OP here. I use dokku/CloudFoundry these days and just toss in dependencies to requirements.txt, but at the time I often had to deploy stuff on boxes with _zero_ outside access.
comment
Hi, OP here. Brief clarification: some of those patterns were a consequence of us having to run Python 2.5 and 2.6 on older boxes - it's a survival technique, if you will - and having to vendor s…
comment
That was fixed for me with 0.10.0 on Yosemite. Can't find it from my phone, but there was an issue on GitHub I was tracking.
comment
Nice, but I'm going to wait until the amount of RAM catches up. That would be next logical step now.
comment
Sad about this - just had two long-time friends complain bitterly about it - one moved to Github Desktop, the other downgraded. Used to use it myself on one machine until I started using VS Code (whic…
comment
Thanks for letting me know, but it's still open, right? Besides, can't we all just get along and accept that I might want to do things in a specific way because I don't need the extra o…
comment
That is precisely my point. I want to do it without weave. As long as I can control the Docker bridge (and be responsible about it), I should be able to just do it.
comment
Yeah, but I needed this for scenarios where I managed the Docker bridge directly - i.e., running a set of streaming servers that are an insane hassle to set up and required frequent upgrades. Docker w…
comment
Sadly, https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/3043 is still open, so no multicast support since 1.6...…

Smiled as I read this, seeing as I'm on Slack largely due to my "extended family" from my previous job (everyone else left but we stayed in touch over Slack).
comment
Sysadmins are people too :)
comment
Yep. Loved it when we moved from ISDN to an E1, Quake became a lot more intense for my opponents :)
comment
We had a go at Phabricator for code review. Suddenly, there were two opposing camps - those who hated it utterly and those who loved it and wanted to tweak the heck out of it. Fortunately (for my team…
comment
Performance. That thing is _fast_ when compared to a Ruby-based stack.
comment
1. For starters (besides other internal stuff), we were the guys who needed Shibboleth support. You might recall there were a few pull requests from a colleague of mine regarding that :) 2. No, we had…
comment
GitHub Enterprise was essentially a closed VM that did not allow us to do the sort of customisation we needed - nor, most crucially, mount the git repos from our enterprise SAN. Gitlab allowed us to d…
comment
Nope. GitHub. In that past context, it made more sense.
