Yes. Marine environment: the wind blows largely off the Atlantic, across the whole UK.

It's certainly not anachronistic in England in place names, nor as a name for a type of (water- or glacier-carved) landform.

Fifteen years ago I remember my last employer saying in a division meeting that they had "reallocated a number of roles to the mobility pool". A round of confused "what's that then…

Works fine on my Fairphone 4, and they are definitely only midrange...

I remain obsessed with / utterly dependent on my Maltron (contoured, two-hand, trackball). I have a Glove80 coming: let's see if it wins me over.

This would be a more convincing argument if your facts weren't over half a decade out of date. DTrace for Linux was relicensed under the UPL (with kernel components under GPLv2, ju…

The actions of... pouring ammonia in his tenants' beds, throwing their stuff onto the street in trash bags, cutting holes in their apartments' floors while they were inside, cuttin…

Nah. Intel are still selling new systems with SPS 3.0 on them, and those systems are still receiving updates, including security updates (I bought one in March, and it's had two fi…

I'd do that if I was still working there. I can probably still get hold of a horror case but it'll take negotiation :) (And yes, optimizing merge matters too, indeed it was a huge …

Yeah, that's the problem; it's optimizing for the wrong thing. It speeds up blame at the expense of absolutely every other operation you ever need to carry out; the only thing whic…

Yeah. I suspect the answer is 'store all binary data in BAM', which then uses some different encoding for the binary stuff -- but that then makes my gittish soul wonder why not jus…

That metaphor... needs work. Cars need a considerable amount of training to learn to use safely, let alone correctly. I can hack C enough that I dream in it routinely, and due to t…

I had... much too extensive experience both with SCCS weaves and with hacking them way back in the day; I even wrote something which sounds very like your smoosh, only I called it …
