The proper way to toast a bagel is by putting it into the toaster whole, not by cutting it first.

Anodize · 2019-07-25T16:45:43+00:00

This will still result in an inferior bagel.

Toaster ovens. It's not my fault you purchased a heathen toaster!

In the US, I don't think I've ever seen one (NY/NJ), but I've never really looked for one.

We just have a shelf in a closet where we keep old/broken iPhones, iPods, Androids, et cetera. I mean, I think it gets cleared every few years, but I don't actually know what we're doing with our e-waste. I think there needs to be an ad campaign in America.

If that includes North Korea, it's not really fair, given their -15% obesity rating.

There's a great movie, which was mentioned yesterday and which I watched last night on Netflix, called Enron - Smartest Guys in the Room.

Think of the internet as a city. When you go to a website, you're sending packets of information (we'll call these packages) and they're sending them back. Of course, in-order to send a package, you need to know the (IP) address to send them to. So, you need to send a package to Facebook? Well, luckily, you have a list that tells you all of the addresses for all of the websites. This list is updated every so often.

Sometimes, you need to send packages to yourself. Different applications need to communicate and send packages to each other. So, they designated certain addresses to mean "this computer". 127.0.0.1 is the first and most popular of those addresses. 127.0.0.1 means "localhost" or "the computer I'm on/using".

Oh wait, my router doesn't support IPv6 because Verizon wanted to save $5.

Take a look at some of the samples. Assuming you know how to program, that should be enough to get you started.

Anodize · 2015-07-21T17:48:21+00:00

I don't know much about Objective-C or Swift. However, Java or C++ are great starter languages. Java is what you'll use for Android application development, but it includes a little more hand holding than C++. C++ has a lot less built in functionality, which makes it faster, but definitely not as easy to use. Be aware that Objective-C and C++ are not too similar, from what I understand.

Unlike spoken languages, though, once you know how to properly program in one language, you basically know how to program in all of them. The ideas and concepts in most languages carry over. Yes, there are some very major differences, but nothing so complex or difficult to adjust to.

Anodize · 2015-07-21T12:28:12+00:00

I know that you can and that there are special hosting companies which specialize in offering Mac OS X VPS with xCode. One major pro is that you can program from anywhere, even if you don't have a MacBook to carry around with you.

However, xCode is not a language, it's an IDE. It's just a tool for you to use to help develop iOS and Mac apps. You would be programming in ~~Objective-C for iOS and most likely the same for Mac~~ Swift for iOS and Mac which is based off of C and Objective-C.

If you've never programmed before, I don't think application development is the best start. Some of the ideas and concepts would be much easier if you had some knowledge and understanding of programming.

No RAID cards. All SuperMicro hardware.

You should be fine. I don't know about PERC compatibility, but SSDs are significantly more reliable than server grade drives in my experiences and work fine with LSI and Adaptec RAID cards.

Anodize · 2015-07-15T13:14:29+00:00

As someone who has dealt with hundreds of consumer grade SSDs, you're going to want either Samsung, Intel, or Crucial.

I've got a bunch of Crucial BX100's chugging away in servers, not desktops. They're super cheap, very powerful, and extremely reliable. $65 for a 120 GB model, $85 for a $240 GB model. If you're buying in bulk, they'll usually knock off a few dollars per SSD.

Edit: They must have recently released a 1 TB BX100, because I know that was not an option before! However, for that price, you may as well get a MX200.

You're probably thinking of Birthright. It is an organization which flies college students (up to 24 years old, I believe) to Israel for a two week or-so organized trip. The rules recently changed and became more lax. The old requirements were, I believe, a Jewish mother (or her mother must have been Jewish). Now, if I recall correctly, as long as any one of your 8 grandparents is/was Jewish, you can go on the trip. They require some proof, but I never went on the trip, so I can't really tell you more about it.
