How much drunk cooking are you all doing? I think the only dropped glass in my apartment was an obliterated friend who shouldn’t have been trusted with a lowball glass.

I’ve never used a phone case and I’ve never cracked a screen or otherwise come to regret that choice.

It's also uncomfortable to sit, crawl or lie on, so good luck if you have kids. x 1000 I love the look of (non stained) polished concrete floors, but they’re horrible for everything I’d want in a home - just too hard.

Especially since the soundtrack gets stuck in my head sometimes. I was looking at the OST CD in on-line shops and it was too expensive but then I found out I could just order it from the guy's web page for 20 € less, even with shipping. (This was some years ago though.)

Screw down the switch boxes better and add some 75¢ knockout plugs and that suddenly is up to code. I've seen MUCH worse in several warehouses. As for the switch hanging by its Ethernet cable, it'd make IT angry, but I bet it still works. kid sinister fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Mar 31, 2019 |

I once worked for a literal actual criminal who claimed to do SEO, and his "server room" was a shelf with a couple of laptops plugged into a network switch, running some pirated version of Windows Server on each. That's where our CRM and most of the websites were hosted.

I seem to recall reading that bamboo can be processed somehow to make a material that's reasonably competitive with carbon fiber and a lot cheaper. It's a pretty impressive material.

Platystemon posted:Mac Mini colocation was (apparently still is) a thing: It makes sense to a certain extent for Mac OS or iOS developers looking to set up a build/test/CI type system because the Xserve doesn't exist anymore and Mac OS can't be legally virtualized on non-Apple hardware. There are also a surprising number of people who want to run their own personal server for whatever reason but can't be bothered to learn the couple of differences between doing it on Mac and doing it on Linux, and are willing to pay for the difference.

wolrah posted:So is Mac Pro colo. Yep. The iOS App Store EULA for devs includes a requirement that all submitted IPAs have to be built with Xcode, and the Xcode EULA demands that it only be run on Apple hardware. (I kinda doubt that Apple could actually tell if an IPA was built on a Hackintosh, but meh, w/e.) Pretty much every large iOS dev company will have a setup like this somewhere. It sucks, too, because the Mini uses a low-power laptop CPU, and the Pros haven't gotten upgrades since 2013. It takes ~30 minutes to do a clean build of my app on a Pro, compared to ~7 minutes on a 2018 iMac.
