I did my MS-CS in Bozeman. I'm super excited to see MSU on HN FP as well! Very cool!

I want to hack this to drive around the office and find an AP based on signal strength. Bloodhound mode!

I'm a big fan of Ada. I first encountered exceptions in Ada. When I first saw Python, way back in version 1.5, I was happy to see exceptions.

Are the private schools forced to take any students? Or can they cherry pick just the best students? Do they reject anyone that needs an IEP? Public schools are legally obligated to provide an education to anyone, no matter how much trouble they cause. If these private schools take public coin, they should be required to follow the same laws.

>When you treat every negative outcome as a system failure, the answer is more systems.

Holy crap, I'm going to save that quote forever. I have a co-worker who treats every line of bad code committed as a reason to add ever more layers to CI. Yo, we caught it in testing. There's no reason to add another form we have to fill out.

That makes sense. Phones would drive smaller USB and laptops likely drove smaller DisplayPort.

That does make sense. Ethernet is easily replace by WiFi. There's no easy replacement for USB (can't charge a phone over Bluetooth (yet)).

Crimping our own cables is more common in data center or IT. Normal people wouldn't cut their own cables. I've given up cutting my own cables for home use (fixing busted heads) because it's easier to just grab a new cable.

I wrote printer code for 10+ years. I appreciate how hard the technical problems are but vendors make it so much worse. I loathe printers. Printers peaked with the LaserJet III.
