I had some crazy insomnia a couple of years ago. Not the standard toss and turn kind either, but I would fall asleep for 1-2 hours and then wake up and have this really weird experience where I would doze and jolt awake for the next 4-5 hours. I'd literally get 5-10 minute little naps the rest...

Html AP is my jam. I've built quite a few apps to scrape and archive data from some seriously shit (designed) websites using this lib. You can use this lib quite effectively with powershell as well.

I have native bash/ssh yuk7/CentWSL , microsoft/terminal, microsoft/PowerToys and chocolatey (soon to be replaced with an official package manager). I'll never touch another Mac.

That's the law. FMLA, everyone gets it. Now whether you get it paid or not is another matter entirely....

Government would have to change some policies and rewrite our contract before I could work from home. For my specific role, I can definitely be more productive if I have the option to go onsite, only because of the disconnected nature of our networks. For certain tasks like writing code /...

I foresee cri-o winning the runtime wars for anyone slightly invested in Kubernetes.

Lol. Hoss makes a good point. A lot of this boards members are on the spectrum and will take what I wrote very literally... My son is 9. He will be getting zero tattoos until he is 18 as minors are not legally allowed to get tattoos. When he is 18 and a legal adult, if he chooses to still get a...

I remember when I got my first tattoo. My family was all cool with it as long as it was somewhere I could cover up - I of course chose bicep cause that was the cool guy spot. Fast forward 20 years and I have mostly full sleeves and no one gives much of a shit about them. People I've just met...

We've got about 5-6 serious horde guilds and probably 4x as many alliance. We went to Felwood launch day and traded attempts with an alliance guild on Lethon until we killed on our third attempt. Then Emiriss spawned, and alliance pulled first and wiped. Then we pulled, got him to 15% and wiped...

The problem isn't the COBOL. I bet anyone of us could write decent COBOL within 2 days with just the internet for reference. The problem are the systems themselves. Those old S390s are worlds apart from the x86/windows/linux that we know and love.

Generally no because you want them to handoff to the strongest AP. But... I do with mine as I've found the best performance in having separate 5ghz / 2.4ghz networks. I have an upstairs and downstairs 5ghz network and then one whole house 2.4ghz network. I put all of my roaming devices on the...

If anyone wants to be the savior of NJ: The Hercules System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture Emulator https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cobol/cobol_environment_setup.htm

I'm a fan of asus routers. I have 2x ac68u's that still work great. I played around with meshing them, but the performance was subpar to using one as a wired ap. If you can do a cat 6 run, that will give you the best performance. Also, if running cable is possible, I'd buy a small AP that...

Don't worry I'll take care of America for you guys. You're welcome!

AOL used to be heavily client based and I recall having a version that would give you access to all of the "premium" stuff. I think it just had modules that it would load / unload (or flags it would set) based on your account type, but I guess you could force them to stay loaded somehow. I...

If we didn't have VPN I'd definitely be laid off. Luckily it works well and the gov is cool enough to allow us to work remotely - which is pretty unprecedented for this type of work.

I'm on a low pop RP-PVE (yeah...) server and it's a surprisingly stable community. Horde is outnumbered 4 to 1 though, so the only thing we don't get are world dragon kills. Though this week we ran a successful batphone pug raid as and got Horde first Azuregos.

Yep still at the same place on Bragg.

Heh I think all gov at this point. Ive gotten pretty good with it though and built some really useful stuff. It's definitely a money pit though and takes some serious time investment on behalf of the people who administer and develop it.

Best RL friends are orders of magnitude more likely to bail on you then any other type of RL friend.

If there's one thing I learned when it comes to WoW, RL friends will always bail on you. Hence why I am both horde and on an RP server. It's actually a pretty tight knit community though horde side and very close to my actual classic experience so I can't complain.

There is a third option, roll horde with me on the bloodsail buccaneers RP server.

I still prefer wired access points with seperate SSIDs. I have a 5ghz and a 2.4 ghz access point upstairs and a 5ghz AP downstairs. All my "portable" devices go on the 2.4 and all stationary devices (tv's, xbox's, etc.) connect to their closest 5ghz AP. Even if I were to mesh, I'd still wire...

Yeah I guess if the formula is previous + current you wouldn't want to put in the +1. I was assuming he had already tried without incrementing though. I'd try setting the first block to 1 as well.

Wouldn't you just measure the size of the last transmitted chunk and start at that +1?

I've been eyeballing GA Tech's online MSCS. It's crazy cheap (my company will cover all of it) and having GA Tech on the resume would look pretty nice. I also want to keep playing classic WoW though... so maybe after Naxx.

I work for the government. Buying stuff to solve all the problems right after you bought a similar thing that solved all the problems last year is all the rage. Except I'm a contractor and my input means fuck all. So now I just make sure that 15 different overlapping products stay running...

You're still in. I just spent 2mil with Dell

I'd never accept a counter offer expecting my working conditions to change. Salary was literally my only complaint so it made sense for me to accept it. I'll definitely leave if I have to pay cut for any reason though (like my current company not winning their rebid in May).

Good point. Make sure you have something official in writing before you commit to staying. I've definitely seen dudes get promised promotions and raises to stay that either never materialize or take months to years.

Most of my interviews have been huge misrepresentations of actual work performed. Usually its a couple of senior dudes looking to confirm their bias's on tech/work ethic and a distracted manager. This job was mostly cultural fit interview, with most details being off the table due to...

I hear this all the time but I've never once seen this in reality. Maybe in other lines of work, but not IT. I've definitely seen people get treated like shit after they try to jump ship and stay, but they are usually terrible employees anyway. I've had my ass kissed more than ever for accepting...

I've only ever once accepted a counter offer and it was my current job. I do have a strong personal connection and the work is some of the best I've ever done and for a mission I'm highly supportive of. My main gripe was that I was underpaid and as you all know, the best way to get a raise is to...

Glad to see Fyff is still polishing this turd as hard as ever.

Did you read the post directly above mine? Dude said they were going to sell it right away. I just mentioned that I did not use a broker nor was my loan "sold" (insofar as I understand it). The main point I was making was to shop loans at credit unions as well.

Lol you're a funny guy. At what point did anyone ever say, imply, or give the vaguest impression that they gave a shit about any of it? Was that a finance lawyer flex? Cause you can toss that into the "who gives a shit," bucket too.

I don't know what MERS is.... If you are trying to illustrate some naivety on my part about what "selling" loans means, then you got me! What I mean though is that, unlike friends who receive a letter informing them about their new lender and servicer (often different), I never received such...

I've never gone through a broker. I've financed all 3 of the homes I've owned through a credit union and they've never sold the loan. I can't say whether the interest rates were any better/worse, but they always seemed in line with the market at the time.

Leatrix plus will auto accept and turn in quests as well and it has a ton of other useful features, none of which slow down the UI or disable features.

You mean you still let your doctor diagnose you even after FoH has? That's weird man...
