An embedded Mac where I can play cosmic osmo in the browser with something that looks like a real screen... I knew it was possible, but wow. Super cool.
Had pretty much the same thing... but only one overclocked Celeron to 433. Was amazing upgrade from my pentium 133 with a Matrox Millenium; which I somehow used to complete Half Life in low FPS agony.
Just lost my father to pancreatic cancer as well a couple weeks ago. They caught it very early with a CT scan, performed a significant surgery followed by radiation and chemo. The chemo nearly killed him. Had a couple ok months after chemo, but then it spread and the last couple weeks were awful. Even catching this stupid cancer really early often isn't enough - I hate it.
> practically nothing more injurious to good technique and nothing more likely to induce tension than this.
Oh my goodness yes. I started playing on January and followed the Hanon instructions with the sheets. I have been trying to release tension, especially around my flying pinky… and realized that this way of playing Hanon was making it worse. I am in the process of fixing this now, and am enjoying less tension.
About 35 years ago. Found a commodore PET in the trash along the roadside. It came with a tape drive and a book of games written in BASIC. I took it home, tidied it up and then started learning from the book.
The TIE Fighter animated intro sequence is forever etched into my memory. I watched the whole thing at least 50% of the times I fired up the game before playing. What an absolute beast of a game. Plus the dynamic music (iMuse) was just so damn cool. With LucasArts, you always knew you were going to have an amazing ~game~ experience.
I have felt very much like this in the past, but no so much any more. .. my thinking is:
Some things are just part of the responsibility of being a grown up. Home maintenance, driver for children, doing taxes, etc. These are your baseline priorities that you don't get to choose.
Some of these sound like they occupy a rotating priority slot. House and car purchases do take a big commitment and require prioritization (especially if you build) but they are temporarily a priority. It is usually your choice to make these a priority, and they are rare.
Keeping a smaller priority list means saying 'no' to more things too, like being 'tech support geek for wifi and computer issues' or vehicle maintenance. These priorities are fully under your control.
What an interesting concept! The Generalist and Backend roles sound interesting to me.
I have 20+ yrs experience as a polygot developing products from IDE integration, cybersecurity, economics, project planning, market analysis and more.
I know applications can get lost easily in the shuffle these days, with high volume of candidates applying. Is there any way to get a specific resume noticed?
Keycloak is fairly easy to maintain. I run a deploy in AWS/ECS, and nearly never needs to be touched... except when an upgrade is required. Every upgrade has been challenging, starting with change to Quarkus, followed by removing dependencies from the docker images.
But when it's not being upgrade, it's fantastic. Many thanks to Red Hat.
