If car salespeople do it, it should be fine. Is that the bar?

We all know a ‘Lennie’ from ‘Of Mice and Men’.

That is what I thought the article was about, too.

The very first startup I worked at used this for a sweepstakes leadgen form to send to MySQL via a Perl script running from cron.

The other cool thing, to me, is you can keep adding cameras and do not have to replace hardware, just add more.

How does Fat Albert eat up hardware resources?

Also, don’t you need to know the specs of the individual container instances before determining it will be resource starved on the host?

I have an off-the-shelf CCTV DVR that supports 4k with up to 8 cameras, but it struggles with more than 4.

Well done.

I kind of think that is your subconscious not needing to put a bunch of effort into ‘storing’ recent meals versus prioritizing ‘memorizing’ tools you have used and how to use them.

I have vivid memories from preschool, but, ask me what happened last week, and I will need to check my bash history. j/k

Is this DIA service or an ISP?

I finally looked at the article and that is bit over-engineered in my opinion.

My favorite timeclock had a two-row character lcd character display, membrane keypad for digits and maybe 5 additional function buttons: clock in, clock out, lunch in, lunch out, and admin-mode.

We used the last 6 digits of our SS# to clock in and out with.

It had a serial interface.

Use an Arduino, and you can add the serial display, keypad if needed, serial rfid or barcode scanner, and ethernet or wifi.

So, most barcode scanners operate in ‘wedge’ mode.

This may be true for RFID scanners, as well.

They emulate a keyboard and some have pass-through ports, for PS/2 keyboard interfaces.

For more ‘custom’ solutions, some also have serial interfaces, so they can be programmatically controlled to scan and read based on the logic you implement.

I really don’t think college towns are sustainable.

They rely on federal loans, indirectly.

Is there a node/react/js equivalent of this article?

I admit I have not looked at the kernel repo in quite awhile.

Is rebase used with gitflow in that context?
