I got a virtual pinball machine which gives me all of the fun of owning a pinball machine with almost none of the maintenance. My machine is the size of a normal wide body pinball cabinet and works like a normal machine does as far as tilt/bumping, flippers, coin door, etc go. If you have the time and passion for keeping up a regular pinball I would go that route. If you want something a bit more easy to maintain but just as fun to play I would look for a virtual pinball setup.

There are options where you can buy a full pinball cabinet [0] that is 100% virtual. There are fairly large communities around virtual pinball using future pinball [1] and virtual pinball [2] as the emulators. The community has gone very far in adding details into the tables as well as making VR tables as well.

I'm guessing something like this would work

# Redirect port 8080 to local port 22

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j REDIRECT --to-port 22

I like the fact there are multiple splash tags even though "I use Arch BTW" is a great one.

> Why would you expect that if you stop working they won't stop paying you? They aren't going to rely on someones self-written review to notice you haven't been working.

Chances are your manager could fill this out for you most of the time as they should have a good grasp of what you have been doing in your day to day.

Most of the time I can generate a list of what I have worked on via commit messages or ticket names to get a high level idea of what I have been doing. I still feel like my manager may have a better idea of what impact my changes have had then I do in some cases.

Podcast Addict [0] has that feature but only runs on Android devices. I use that as well as speeding up podcasts to 2x speed which makes things better for me.

I thought Mozilla still owned and thus funded Thunderbird. Someone must be ensuring that employees who work for the Thunderbird project are being payed even if it is a mostly community ran project.

The donation page still takes me to a Mozilla branded donation page which makes me think they are putting some resources into the project even if it isn't as fully funded as most would like.

> In turn Thunderbird will ensure the app is developed further. As a first step Thunderbird hired the current K-9 Mail maintainer, cketti (coincidentally, also the author of this blog post ). Hopefully, more will follow soon.

I mean they are putting resources toward it by hiring the main dev which is a good start.

If only Bitbucket Cloud would play catchup now. So many times I read about a bitbucket feature to only find out it is server only and we can't use it.

I see in the original posts github link that they have a scrubbed list as well[1]. I am not sure when that was added but it explains the 12 1/2 thing exactly.

Shouldn't that be 1/2 of a green pepper and 1/4 cup blue cheese?

PHP, since version 7.0, has been a much improved language since when many people started hating on it. They have been consistently moving the spec forward and making improvements. It's not perfect, but no language really is after all. It is really nice just seeing issues that have been around for a long time being addressed and fixed.

If you bought a budget computer do you really expect it to be able to handle running even minor taxing applications. In my experience most people who are buying a budget laptop need a great web browsing experience and maybe an office suite (if they aren't using a cloud one already).

My guess is running a browser with Spotify or YouTube, some social networking tabs, and maybe google docs or office 365 word will not pose any issues.

That's a very good point. The number of people they are helping will drastically increase if that integration happens. It's unfortunate that the direct users who aren't on Apple's platforms can't continue to use it anymore.

Thanks for the suggestion, at first glance things look pretty nice. Hopefully their mobile app is as nice as their website.

> Our goal has always been to provide the world with the best weather information possible, to help as many people as we can stay dry and safe, and to do so in a way that respects your privacy.

I don't understand how being acquired by Apple helps further that goal. Removing support for non-Apple devices seems to drastically lower the number of people who you are helping.

I am interested in seeing what happens to this service moving forward as it sounds like the API may be closed off completely by 2021 as well.

I think the other option is just networking and having a good portfolio that shows off your skills. Granted that leads you to point b that you made as you will likely befriend people who are in positions to hire you or suggest to others to hire you.

How did you infer how they were raising their kids or how much time they spend with their kids from that comment? To me, it sounds more like you just want to attack them.

I'm an adult, I know I forget to turn things off sometimes and it is really nice to be able to remotely check on things like if a light is on or off or something similarly as trivial.

If you have a shellfish allergy you are told to avoid eating insects. I know that is the case for crickets at least. So having them compared isn't that out there of an idea.
