    btw, your last paragraph makes you sound like an ass.

    I'm guessing Devuan still has /var/lib/dbus/machine-id.

    NBR = nitrile butadiene rubber, a synthetic rubber. Not really a raw material, as it's synthesized.

    For things that need much more precusion than my lunch, ±1 second probably still isn't good enough, so they need another layer of correction anyway. Given that exists, might as wel…

    Why use zvols? Aren't they essentially just single-file ZFS datasets (allowing e.g. independent snapshotting)?

    OpenSCAD has almost zero crossover with B-rep modelling ('true' CAD, what this apparently is), though.

    No, that is actually very rare, not typical. Do you have any examples of password managers that do that?

    MEMS oscillators do use a vacuum, and that's why they're susceptible to helium. A helium atom is tiny compared to an oxygen or nitrogen atom, and can leak through many otherwise-pe…

    You don't have to 'build' anything. Just spin up a GitLab docker container. Bonus: If you put it behind a VPN, you never have to worry about updating it.

    This is a very SWE-centric perspective. The very names of software/hardwsre would imply the exact opposite.

    I'm an actual boss, and wasting a week is cause for a 30-minute post-mortem, not immediate termination.

    I don't think this is true. Modulo the sign bit, the "next float" operator is equivalent to the next bitstring or the integer++.

    I've never heard anybody (mis)attribute that to Apple.

    On the contrary, I would take this as evidence that these projects are alive and well - they have people who care enough to try to affect their future trajectory.

    It does, in combination with a pinned nixpkgs commit, which you can find like this: ~/repos/nixpkgs$ git log --grep='nodejs.* 24.14.0' -1 origin/master commit 9c0e2056b3c16190aafe6…

    I don't think it's abstract at all. Rub something sharp (anything from a stick to a phonograph needle) on an object and you'll directly transcribe its spatial frequency spectrum in…

    It's possible to fix this in application code with a Primitive or NoDefault wrapper that acts like a T, except doesn't have a default constructor. Use Primitive wherever you'd use …
