@neauoire I never had the screen space or memory for something like that.

@ricci Want to feel old? Check top songs of 2005. Which is old enough to be a dad.

@ricci It's still the biggest impediment to my work flow.

@foone I'm impressed/surprised. So much from that era is horrible

@futurebird I think in almost all the puzzles presented the question is "how many of the principles outlined in the ACM Code of Ethics did this person violate?"

@futurebird North Little Rock, AR. Nothing on the street. But phone and charging available in the library (when open), and all the bars/cafés have charging with no questions asked.City information is a large gentleman named Beaufort, who is officially a cop, but whose title is Ambassador. He and his crew also provide golf cart rides to people who need to get around downtown if they're mobility impaired or if the weather is bad.

@futurebird Not a crier, he doesn't have a bell and yell stupid things like "All's Well." when they obviously aren't. Beaufort and his crew of ambassadors walk / golf cart around downtown most nights, with more when there's an event going on. They guide tourists to safe (free!) parking, advise about restaurants suitable for your group, tell you what events are coming up, and walk little old ladies across the street to the theatre. They also generally keep the peace in a way that most cops don't. I've seen them talk down a belligerent drunk, walk him outside and get him an Uber home...along with a card with numbers for several free therapy options. They have a radio, baton, and a tazer; no body armor, no gun. In 15 years I've seen a baton come out once. It was used on an arm with a knife, not on a head.

@futurebird We've got one group of ambassadors for a neighborhood of about 10k people. It's the downtown entertainment district. There's talk about expanding to three groups in other dense, business, or higher crime areas. Each group is roughly 5.That expansion would make a 4000:1 population to ambassador ratio. So New York would need 2000-2500 total, about 400 of those being supervisors who know the area well. They need to be visible, lightly armed, and willing to talk and help; rather than confront and escalate. It's true community policing. Walking around, not driving through.It would be a hard model to do in NYC, or any large metro. It'd be great, but hard to implement.

@simplenomad @fedops A couple of local restaurants have these. As a former server and restaurant manager, I see this as a very good thing.Getting food to the table takes a huge slice out of servers time. It also is dangerous. Slipping and dropping a large tray has happened to me more than once. Bad for the restaurant, bad for the flow of the kitchen, dangerous for the server and anyone in the area. There's also the carpal tunnel problems caused by carrying heavy trays on a regular.

@futurebird @Phosphenes @aadeacon One thing I noticed when I had a "lawn" was the difference in fire ants between areas with fine bladed grasses (like Bermuda) and leaf grasses like St Augustine. The bermuda lawns would always have lots of mounds, the augustine -- not so much.If the augustine was cut high and infrequently (the way it should be) there would be almost no fire ants at all.

@petrillic @paul_ipv6 @SecureOwl To this day I don't allow zip ties. I've seen too many fibres & cables broken with an over-enthusiastic installer.I've bled too much from badly cut ends.Velcro or wax lacing.

@paul_ipv6 @petrillic @SecureOwl Velcro is the right answer today.Lacing was for another era. A time when you put cables in for decades, not months. Same reason you soldered wire wraps.Having said that, I'm about to build some ICS/OT demo boards, and am going to lace some of the wires just to brainfuck the youngs.

@paul_ipv6 @petrillic @SecureOwl Some of the old Bell COs I worked in had 100U racks that hadn't been looked at since Carter was president...This was in the mid 1990s.

@paul_ipv6 @petrillic @SecureOwl This trip down memory lane does raise a question.Does anyone have a copy of the old ATT/Bellcore/Telcordia Network Verification Testing standard that I could beg, borrow, buy?I still take that as one of the best written standards for 'how do I make sure that things don't fail'. And I'd love to spend some time rebuilding it into something relevant for today's critical infrastructure.
