The problem frankly is with your assumption (presumption?) that government is meant to be efficient. I'm not being facetious. A democracy is not supposed to be 'efficient'. If all …

Take a look at Zig (ziglang.org). Not sure it meets all of your requirements, but looks like it might. I haven't worked with it yet, but it's on my radar, as is FORTH, for the simp…

Two things: A Bella 5.3 qt air fryer. The basket is one piece, ridiculously easy to clean: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HRTWZJN This has completely simplified my eating, …

It's a trap if it's not for you, not what you want to do, not your interests. Whose business is it to solve millennium problems? Certainly not yours to decide for others. I think h…

I'm typing this on my primary machine, a late 2012 MacBook Pro. That's 8 years of full daily use, travel, downloads, compiling, running Docker, etc. And I really do mean every sing…

I have similar issues with a late 2012 MBP when playing music to Bose headphones, sometimes airpods, and external speakers. I thought it was interference from other bluetooth devic…

Make it public domain. While any major corporation could still use it without you being paid, many don't and will request you provide the same code but under a license their lawyer…

Quite possibly because the stock market is no longer reflective of the health of the US economy. It appears that the majority of stocks (80% or more?) are held by large entities an…

It appears that a majority of people my be deficient. The blood serum measure of 25(OH)2D3 that are considered in the 'normal' range is based on how much D you need in order to not…

If you're not prepared to invest the time to make an independent determination one way or the other, and you want to rely on the consensus view of experts, that's fine, there is no…

Hmm ... I don't add users, no, it's just me, and I have no idea if I can add users. What I do though is use different prefixes for emails with companies -- if I sign up with TMobil…

I think so, and if I read my upgraded plan properly, it's just over $100 for 3 years? I like their sieve implementation, I like being able to host my own domain there, and in the d…

The point? Eric asked me: "...what do you make of this chart shown on the nasa.gov page? It shows the cycles that you're talking about, but then it shows how our situation is incre…

Eric, I assume you don't want to do the work, or you don't want to allocate time doing so. So I'll close this out. First, I want to be clear about the context for my challenging th…

If you're going to make me work, I'm going to make you think. There are seven (7) issues I've identified with the graph you provided as evidence. See if you can identify those same…

I'm sure I'll get flak for this. I'm not a climate change 'denier', but I'm sure I'll be called that by some. In fact, I 'believe' in climate change, meaning that the climate is ch…

I would love to see a flat tax -- we all pay 20%, 30% or whatever is needed. Doesn't matter where or how the money was earned, we all pay the same %, but sure, below a poverty line…

The thought is always start with the simplest capability you can use to meet your requirements -- PG is awesome, but it does require care and feeding by a DBA. Here's a tool to mig…

Look at using SQLite. Or at least start with that, and if you 'outgrow' it, only then consider PostreSQL. PostgreSQL is the best multi-reader, multi-writer, multi-user database out…

This is not any help to you now, but Catalina was released early in October and it's still October. Why did you and your remote workers upgrade to Catalina so soon? I always wait a…

A friend of mine applied for a (tm) a few months ago. US PTO contacted him by email once suggesting he not use a color for the logo he wanted (tm) protection on, and that by leavin…

You may not be breaking your goals down into the smallest components that you can actually work on - you're looking at the high level outcome and you can't eat the whale all at onc…
