Have an Al-Star and a Safari with two of my favorite inks close at hand nearly always. Can’t remember the last time I so much as thought about cleaning either, even the one with a shimmer in it. I just keep refilling them, and they just keep working.
Dirt cheap, given the quality, too, IMHO. They could charge twice what they do for the lower end of their products, and there would still be value there.
I’ve never heard them be interchangeable. Grew up in the NE US, PA, NY, FL, and MA.
I’ve spent most of the last twenty years in the Midwest, and can’t think of a single example.
The outlier would be very, very careful instructions - likely written - organized in an if/then fashion which is a totally different use case:
“Since” wouldn’t fit, at least without changing the instructions after the ellipsis.
And of course the classic example: “since you are up, get me a beer…” also doesn’t really work. (Apologies to some long irrelevant redneck comedian for ripping that off to make a point).
I’m trying in my head to make it fit in both casual and formal conversation, and it just won’t as far as I can tell.
Would love a counterfactual where both work!
I distinctly remember that, and the associated horror. Not to mention the risk of fatigue, health issues, and a thousand other scenarios.
Right there with you on “just works,” as well as the simple fact that the config snippets you need are readily available - either in the repo of whatever you’re putting behind the proxy, or elsewhere on the internet.
I consistently keep in mind that it’s ultimately an RU product, of course. But since it’s open source and changes relatively infrequently, that’s mitigated to a large degree from where I sit.
Nothing against Caddy, though Apache gets heavy quickly from a maintenance standpoint, IMHO. But nginx has been my go to for many, many years per the above. It drops into oddball environments without having to rip and tear existing systems out by the roots, and it doesn’t care what’s behind it.
Ages ago, I had a Tomcat app that happened to be supported indirectly by an embedded Jetty (?) app that didn’t properly support SSL certs in a sane way on its own.
That was just fine to nginx and certbot, the little-but-important Jetty app just lived off to the side and functionally didn’t matter because with nginx and certbot, nothing else gave a crap - including the browser clients and the arcane build system that depended on that random Jetty app.
Haven’t seen RTFM casually dropped in conversation online in… um… a while…
You’ve been hanging out on the intartoobz at least as long as I have. Circa the paleolithic era, or so…
You and me both.
Not too many years after that nightmare, I was perfectly capable of enjoying thru-hiking, carrrying exactly same weight anyone else would have been, moving at same speed on rough terrain, etc. Still couldn’t run a mile - or much shorter distances - in my wildest dreams. Didn’t matter, I was in exactly the shape I wanted to be in, for the things I cared about.
Can’t do it anymore, my body widely conspired against me in various ways, but glad I was capable of it and have the memories. If I had been able to run a mile, but not hike any distance with weight, I’d be alot less happy about what I had achieved at that point.
sed harbors no demon beasts, in my experience.
On the other hand, by default using sed -i is where the demons come in.
No, sed, NOT in place. Not the first time. Show me what you want to do based on the instructions I gave you, and then we’ll talk about letting you play with the real data.
As part of a much larger project that was all-in on Java to begin with, I’ve used Tomcat to serve pages and PDFs/office doc formats rendered based on a postgres backend and FreeMarker templates.
For these purposes, you don’t want that level of complexity (or Java) but the general premise and template libs should be available in nearly any sane web programming language.
“It’s just a waffle house jukebox, my brains are spinning around…”
Not a child of the south, but money does translate to waffles, so time must as well.
Or something like that.
Thank you for the TL;dw. Sincerely appreciated.
A hard timeline on commit strikes me as less than ideal.
People are people. They have issues, they screw up, but they still write good code.
Seems like a brutal metric that encourages minimal commits without real change.
Can you even do that anymore?
I’m mid-forties, and that was what you did circa 99, and I was taught how to do it.
But I can’t imagine a manager today wanting to deal with paper resume and walk-in application.
(Also, if I hand you my resume, it means I’m going to skip the job history fields on the application. I hope manager can read and critically think enough to notice the resume and get that concept. Otherwise, I don’t want to work for you.
Used it in a pinch once, and realized how incredibly awesome it is. Now, it’s my go-to.
Haven’t tried data and files on same stick, but…. Now I want to.
That source is garbage.
Seems to be based on what amounts to a single “does not currently appear that the procedure itself killed him” statement from MGH, which is generally respected.
I will wait for the actual journal article that (I sincerely hope) is yet to come.
Five years, and an additional two months following consent from a highly experimental and unique procedure that he appears to have given informed consent for because he would otherwise have died sooner beats the hell out of five years without the two months.
I could make a hell of a lot of amends in sixty days, knowing it was all I had, that I’ve had trouble making in four plus decades…. Which would make the end exponentially more peaceful and pleasant.
Anything that gives me that much time is a net positive. Not going to bother with some of the usual surgical recovery stuff if I am fully informed at that point but… Don’t want to die wishing I had had time to make that one phone call or txt that I didn’t quite get to make because we don’t get to choose the moment.
Ten yrs from now hewill be a hero for undergoing the procedure that leads to real progress.
There’s an SOL on rape in most scenarios.
But no statute of limitations on copyright violations? WTF?
Spot, and Jefferson Davis Elementary. Only limits that to half hr country, though I kid of course.
My company has a campus there (among several other places) and I’ve abs ruled out any chance of landing there. Not just because screw you, I am more effective WFH, not less, but because the highly vocal haters populating the area make me look like an asshole just for living there.
I’m also particularly sensitive to heat, but car ac is a thing. I just can’t justify supporting and effectively representing TX. Not a lot of good ways to state that I’m an ally of anyone misunderstood or whose rights have been trampled, while living in a state that consistently makes news for the exact opposite.
Not worried about colleagues who know me, but if I want to make a move into a new position - internal or external - and the hiring mgr or hr rep is e.g., my friend who went through NB and landed on male, whose decision I respect, how the hell can I possibly claim to support them or any other group, if I’m daily buying gas and food in TX?
Respect for staying and staying strong. That devolution has been rapid and concerning.
You sticking around encourages every person (disclosed or otherwise) in any of those groups to stay, and eventually force that SOB running your state out.
My partner is a huge Disney fan, and I see behind the magic and respect everything they do to hide the actual mechanics of it all. It pains us that we can’t get on a WN flight to MCO because we refuse to spend money (that we are aware of) in states behaving that way generally.
We miss Nashville, too, as well as a place between Nashville and Orlando that sells stuff people failed to “claim” for cheap.
But I’m not buying gas in GA or FL, much less anything else, in the current environment.
Miami once was a haven and a melting pot, and I personally welcome everyone to this country. But… current state of affairs.
I couldn’t do it, we are both straight and a conventional married couple (mosly, aside from things that are no one’s biz). We fled a Midwest state because, among other things, we got tired of defending that WE wore masks/used hand sanitizer over a period of years.
Fuck those people, we are not hurting them by vexing cautious. Turns out (it seems, per current research) we were right.
The diesel bros are slowly feeling the long term results.
I carry a bunch of pride for all of my favorite places I’ve lived in (I was easily bored in my early 20s), but…
Jersey?
Kidding, ofc, friend.
Lived up and down the east coast along the way, including places whose current inhabitants I would not want to publicly associate myself with.
South Central PA wasn’t per se “appealing,” but it was home for many years so I get it. Neither good nor bad, just home, but easily judged.
I still smile a lil when I happen to cross US 30 and notice it, so I get it. Feels like I “could” make that turn and be “home”
OC, MD was “the” vacation dest growing up so…. I have very little affinity for Jersey. A few years working for a guy who was proudly “from JC” (sorta) and a giant dick didn’t help my perspective, to be honest.
Content? Hardly.
Disinformation. Lies. Etc.
