The Design and Implementation of laffer1

Upon reading that Apple was killing support for the original iPad Mini with the upcoming iOS 10 update, I decided to start researching tablets. So far, I've learned the following:

iPad Pro models seem to be the air replacements. They start at $599 so they're a bit too expensive for my taste. I've also looked into higher end Android devices and found the Pixel C to be the most interesting, but again it has a pretty hefty price tag attached to it.

Some of the PC manufacturers like Lenovo and HP offer Android devices, but they're relatively low end devices with slower CPUs and inferior cameras. A 200 dollar tablet sounds nice until you go to use it.

Sony seems to be pulling out of the device market so I'm ignoring the xperia line as I don't think they're going to be around.

I think I'm going to wait and see if apple does a refresh or if there are more high end android devices. I'd probably pull the trigger on the Pixel C if it had 64GB of space for the low end price.

A few years ago, I had to write a bunch of management scripts that setup and maintained ssh tunnels for executing commands and running symmetric ds over protected connections.

Today, I happened to stumble on a ton of different tools to issue commands to multiple servers at the same time. For example, pssh. A little googling could have saved me a lot of time.
