It is much easier to clip my cat's claws than my Chihuahua's. I think it depends on the cat.

This idea is explored in the first part of Neal Stephenson's novel from last year, Fall; or Dodge in Hell . I'm still reading so no spoilers please.

My understanding is Monte Carlo method refers to sampling using a random component, evoking the casinos of the real Monte Carlo

The idea is to make builds (more) reproducible. I can build a python program, test it thoroughly, and then be reasonably assured the whole thing won't come crashing down in CI/CD f…

pipenv does more than just create a venv, although it is my favorite tool for that. The most important thing it does is freeze the dependency tree using Pipfile.lock

I run both Cisco and OpenVPN VPNs on my Chromebook and it works great.

Actually, GCC (and other GNU projects) require explicit copyright assignment, avoiding this particular flavor of drama.

I use emacs with colemak. I find it more ergonomic than emacs with qwerty. Is there anything specific you find cumbersome?

Looks like Trustico is a UK company.

I was explained that the primary purpose is so emergency responders know to look in the event of a crash.

It's a tarot deck.
