The language has changed a lot since then. Give it a fresh look sometime.

There are multiple ties in the list that actually put the US passport tied for 37th in the ranking. https://www.henleyglobal.com/passport-index/ranking

I have been building a mostly free website and API to interact with sec EDGAR filings, get realtime new filing alerts (and preview those alerts), and see the historical impact of f…

I worry about developing sleep apnea, not only for the effects on my health, but also on my relationship with my partner. A medicine that treated sleep apnea would be revolutionary…

We have abandoned Europe, why should we expect them to stay loyal to us?

Getting all the filings is a lot of work, too - you have to build an old load parser

This was my take, as well.

I took Paxlovid twice. Horrible bitter taste, but kept the symptoms at bay. No long covid or persisting brain fog unlike some of my friends. Tested negative by the end of the treat…

370 degrees Celsius? Hopefully a typo Last time I was in Rwanda I had banana wine. It comes in beer bottles. I think it’s an acquired taste - I didn’t have the acumen to acquire it…

Do you have a recommendation for having frame by frame control of a file? I am trying to synchronize multiple video files that have uneven framerates. I have separate metadata cont…

I have found it to be more trouble than it is worth, as well

I used to walk across this bridge every day. You could feel whole bridge shake when heavy vehicles would drive over it (Lived in Reagent Square 2017 - 2019). I remember one morning…

This is a very exciting product - I'm surprised this didn't exist until now. Would love to see C++ support in the future.

Gigabytes were renamed to Gibibytes (2^30), and a new "Gigabyte," (10^9) replaced the old meaning of the word. It is always sad to see an 8TB SSD come back with only 7.2TiB

I once worked for a firm that used NetworkSolutions and spent a lot of time in their online portal and with their support. I do not have anything nice to say about them, their serv…

Sea Launch, as mentioned in the article, did this for years. I remember seeing the fuel tanks being wound in the 9-101 in 2013. More parts were made than used, and the launches wer…

Plenty of people believed it would fail from the beginning - are they prescient or just lucky?

I believe it was Clayton Christenson who pointed out that disruptors took the lowest value activities first.

But mainline Java is written in C and some C++, right?

C++ lets you write anything you can imagine, and the language features and standard library often facilitate that. The committee espouses the view that they want to provide many "z…

My mistake, I had only seen / searched for the Bloomberg reporting.

1 nautical mile (~6076 ft) is exactly one minute of arc at the Earth's equator. As a sailor, I wish that all miles were nautical miles because they have a real meaning. What good i…
