Not suspicious at all

100%. The detection/configuration of hardware just worked out of the box. It's a must-have for a livecd and still a reeeealy nice-to-have for your permanent install back then.

The most surprising part for me is that IBM still somehow owns silicon labs, I was sure it's effectively a consulting company by now

A thought but maybe switch to the Idiot instead. I think of all the Dostoyevsky works the Brothers is the least enjoyable one. Keep it to the end or else it may suffocate your inte…

I watched it before I read the book and I wasn't aware it's an adaptation (not obvious at all). Imagine how perplexed and confused I was when I finally got around the book :D The f…

After a couple of months of coma they are pretty clear.

Bokonon tells us, incidentally, that members of a duprass always die within a week of each other.

It's not very relevant here, but curiously some cancers are, in fact, contagious organisms. The most famous example is the devil facial tumour disease. Luckily cases of transmissib…

The article is the "Chad Tom Bombdadil" meme from reddit, but somehow watered down to multiple pages of text. >Barges into the narrative. >Sings a song about how he's older than th…

Yeah, the community seems great, I enjoyed reading IRC logs :)

Well if France could build reactors in the 70s-90s, then Germany could have done it in 2000s, right? It's not an alien technology. Instead they chose to pour money into wind and so…

What's the stunt? France built reactors for modest cost and phased out coal. Germany wasted enormous amounts of money on green energy and made very little progress. Which country i…

The total cost of the French nuclear program since the beginning was estimated at 228 billion euros at 2012 prices, including both research and construction costs. By that time Ger…

The title is misleading. $135 is not "money saved", it's "money not spent on fossil fuels" (even for that I couldn't find how it was calculated by solarpowereurope, but the number …

> The issue with outdated grids is that it relies on technology (spinning mass) that's at this point a century old. Which makes it brittle against outages like you describe. The so…

> Are farmland, greenhouses, livestock, tractors, silos full of grain, and refrigerated warehouses packed with produce not "assets"? The elderly can't eat that directly unless they…

You can't eat assets. Retirees need goods and services, these should be produced by the workers and handed over to retirees for free. No wealth redistribution mechanism can solve t…

> A lot of things like retirement funds are built with the assumption of infinite growth Not really, just a stable ratio of workers/retirees is enough for this system to work. But …

> If your 2d array sits on the stack, then inferring memory layout is pretty easy. If you are dealing with pointer that was passed to a function, then you can't assume anything abo…

People who do HPC in C actually wish C had proper arrays like Fortran. If your function takes two pointers as inputs instead of two arrays they can alias the same memory and in fac…
