Wake me up when wayland just works for basic things I need and use daily, and I don't have to hear some diatribe about why what I do daily is wrong. (What I do may be "wrong" in so…

If you think about it, a Turing machine is also Turing complete, and also is a zero player game where one only sets initial inputs...

We've been hit by this. When I talked to them four years ago, they agreed we were good to use it for free, no problem. The dollar figure they're asking for would make it the single…

I'm not the only person who uses "dc" for throwaway calculations all the time? Woo! The thing that I find has the biggest useful-to-popularly-known ratio is "tee".

Are there in person communities for this sort of thing? I've set myself a personal project to reproduce some circuits I have in a 1947 paper. But I'm not a hardware guy, huge tract…
