I know. I was there, before Sanford Wallace invented the email spam and forced any sane SMTP server into password protections and whitelists.

“Low volume” vs. “A few hundred mails per month”
OK, what of the above?
Don’t. And report them to your bank.
You should put fixed IP addresses outside the DHCP allocation range. While a DHCP server might be smart enough to exclude a fixed address automatically, this is not a must. So better safe than sorry.
Once upon a time, gopher was actually a supported protocol. Translating from gopher to HTML is an easy job.
My first introduction to the web actually was “like gopher, but with hypertext and a gui.”
Reminds me of a scene I once witnessed: a family trying to have a picnic near a pond, being surrounded by the local duck Mafia demanding their share…
Time to paint a new sign, methinks.
That’s why professionals use XML or JSON for this kind of projects and SQL for that kind of projects. And sometimes even both. It simply depends on the kind of problem to solve.
In case of emergency, there are always lentils…
One might wonder if the money actually goes to the same author/publisher. Given that it is about a rather niche topic, it could be an illegal copy with a random cover.
OK, the 1999 release date, if correct, is a good argument against it. But for me, it actually sound like a title I’d expect from an LLM model, to be sure.
It is probably one of those LLM-written books popping up everywhere. Once you have automated the process from LLM to ebook, you can produce them in masses for next to nothing, flood the markets, and hope that someone buys them and forgets to return them. Even if they find only 5-10 victims per book, it’s nearly 100% profit.
I’m glad that I live in the EU. I don’t even remember when I got my last spam call, that was many years ago.
That’s why I work with an extraordinary diligence to avoid making errors from the very start. Debugging is only a measure of last resort.
One of the key problems of learning VHDL at universities is that most teachers there are amazingly clueless about the language. Not only do you need a bit of a different mindset (you do not program, you define), but their knowledge of language and systems is stuck in the last century.
When I was a regular in a VHDL group on the site we don’t mention here, we regularly had students who got taught techniques that are obsolete or at least deprecated since 1989.
Heisenbug. Nasty buggers, especially in my domain: Embedded Engineering. When you are in the debugger, the whole processor is stopped, missing tons of data coming in, missing interrupts, getting network timeouts, etc. More often than not, resuming makes no sense, and you have to get straight to reboot.
I don’t make money with it, on the contrary - my son is a bit more direct here and claims I’m wasting money ;-) It is just a hobby. OK, a big one. I build my own models for fun and exhibit them at shows and events.
And: Curiosity is good. It kept the human race advancing.
No, the project is still in its early stages, far from what I would publish.
Regarding the amount of LEGO, well, if I write a resource management and inventory system, you can imagine that it is a bit more than a handfull. My current estimates are around one million bricks, give or take a few hundred k. One of the reason to inventorize it…
Indeed. I have done languages like Prolog and Forth, too, and have actually written a bit in APL ages ago. Yes, they are different, but in the end, it just adds a little bit of complexity. The underlying algorithms are universal, just the methods and structures to achieve them differ. Actually, the first programming language I have written was a simplified Forth derivate - in 6510 Assembler.
That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car…
