I read your post, thought 'hmm sort of powershelly with a bit of awk', clicked on your Github project page and saw Powershell was listed as the first 'Software with Similar Goals t…

This will vary from state to state, but in MA anyone who holds a class D (i.e. standard consumer vehicle) license is also allowed to ride any moped that's 49cc or below. I think th…

I was primarily addressing parent re: the classification of security vs. commodity. I agree with you 100% that the danger lays with the investor and it falls under the designation …

(Not a CPA or tax attorney, consult your regionally certified folks for specifics. Just parroting what the IRS has published for consumer-consumption.) At the national level, the I…

Dang I read the first paragraph of the article and immediately went searching for the real papers since I didn't expect any media outlet to include them at the bottom, but here the…

(To contextualize [hopefully without misrepresenting their positions], Lurie and Vlad both think/thought that axiomatic set theory is not a proper mathematical foundation. Their di…

WYSIWYG is kind of limiting though. I.e., I can use mermaid[1] way faster than I can use Visio. I can type out a mathematics expression way faster in TeX than I can using Word and …

I still use emacs in '-nw' mode because, I don't know, I'm old, but re: your criticism, skewer-mode[1] is available. Presuming your output is targeting some form of HTML, this enab…

This is sort of implemented in various forms. For a VM, RE: code rearrangement, you're effectively describing dynamic DCE if I understand you correctly, CLR does this (and lots mor…

RE: Portability - Not sure how far you'll be able to get by gcc -S'ing something like nuklear[1] (cross-platform ANSI C89) but it might save you some time. I don't have much HLL as…

Between IDA Pro 5.0 (full functionality, legally free), IDA eval 7.0 (limited functionality, legally free), and IDA 6.8 (haxxed), the students are pretty well covered. I'd imagine …

He misused the terminology but basically got it right. The originator of the loan (your local bank is probably just a broker, who is acting as an intermediary for a wholesale vendo…

Whoa there, a lot more went away than 'some shareholder value'. If you put your 40 years in pushing papers, maxed out your Roth IRA and 401k contributions in that wonderful gloriou…

I think you misunderstood me when I said "name-brand". I don't mean some 30 dollar microscope with $20 glass lapped with 2 passes of alumina 35 micron by a 12 year old in a Chinese…

The size of a red blood cell is ~100 um. The size of a nucleus of a cell is ~6um in a mammal (so says wikipedia at least, I know less than a 9th grader re: biology). You can get th…

edit: Full mea culpa. Parent is right. Keeping this post intact since it still contains green-relevant information and some historical information that may be of interest. Big ups …

Yesterday I was putzing around with these exact batteries (swapping some old tooling that had great build quality but were NiCad junk). Those 18650s pack a punch as current sources…

You still have the overhead of maintenance. Live in a cold region in a home built before natural gas was piped to your region? Heating suddenly fails in February? That $95 dollar p…

Ebbs and flows. We've had the tabloid 'yellow journalism' since at least the late 1800s with the Hearst media conglomeration[1]. One could easily make the argument that if it weren…

"This reminds me of my PhD at Nottingham University (1976), which showed that randomising letters in the middle of words had little or no effect on the ability of skilled readers t…

We'd need long term statistics to fully develop a model of risk. I.e., (admittedly, anecdotally) within the first year or two of having his monocrystalline setup, Dave[1] suffered …

Probably true, though for what its worth OSHA[0] (yeah yeah "nanny state" and all) dictates pretty clearly the federal obligations on training and equipping roof workers with full …

Admittedly, SQLite has to do a lot less than Postgres, but I'll throw their hat in the ring if only for the rigor with which they test their code-base[1]. My visceral, completely i…

Fun fact: Windows 2008 R2 and Itanium 2 had lock-step fault-tolerance. (Which is on par with the other "biggies"-- VMS, IBMs OS360/MVS, and HP (nee Compaq Tandem)). On a more relev…

> "It's sort of convincingly improvisatory." I'm not sure if it was the dynamics specifically, but it was clear to me that A was human. Within 30 seconds I was so sure, I hit pause…
