Yep, terrible: I will show how Make hits every one of your complaints: (sarcasm on) in file hello.c: #include int main(int ac, char **av) { printf("hello\n"); return 0; } How to co…

The velop uses bluetooth for setup... you use an application on your phone, that sets up the router. Yes, it's janky too.

One snapshot would help because, if EVERYTHING collapses, and you need data recovery, the snapshot provides a basepoint for the recovery. This should allow better recovery of metad…

They did mention ZFS, so verified hashes of each file block. I hope they are scrubbing, and have at least one snapshot.

That much sea level rise? From New York: https://psmsl.org/data/obtaining/stations/12.php From Stockholm: https://psmsl.org/data/obtaining/stations/78.php Simple: New York is sinki…

Of course, use search and replace to change 0 to zero... etc. The OCR will (should) work better.

Either the journalist writing the article was using Dutton as a source accurately, or Science is not a reputable source of news. This is mutually exclusive. I took the story prima …

You claim that CO2 causes runaway climate change?

I do wish that was a reasonable argument. Closer: I drive a "Model Z". In the past, someone discovered a crushed Model Z. Does driving a Model Z more than 50 mph cause crushing?

To quote the article: "The new octopus genome data, she adds, “is pretty convincing evidence that a full collapse happened.” The findings reinforce the importance of understanding …

thanks -- I was under the initial impression that you intended jeeves as a "pythonic make". make isn't a command runner at all. Indeed, it relies on sh for that. It determines the …

The first "home computer": Altair 8800. The first peripheral: an AM radio: Steve Dompier - https://www.futurefarmers.com/superfund/gazette/Pop-Ups/Armi... The Altair had a 2Mhz clo…

4 gigabytes per second? Ok, and no. Sixel is defined for two purposes: the first is to allow display of bitmaps. the second is to allow the definition of characters glyphs (which x…

You could well be right (I am not American). I do recall discussing the GDR with some USA people... a "democratic republic". Was told, back then, that the term had been co-opted. B…

The USSR did call itself democratic. In a sense, since it was central control for all. The USA did NOT call itself democratic -- the preferred term up to the '70s was "constitution…

The provider of care gets paid "a reasonable amount". The care is provided. No bureaucratic nonsense. Sound ideal. Except... someone invents a novel care. They can choose to provid…

The pinnacle... huh. What about assigned goto? hollerith?equivalence? Please look at the following: C THE CALLEE SUBROUTINE X(I) GO TO I END C THE CALLER ASSIGN 10 TO J CALL X(J) C…

Judges do NOT legislate from the bench! That is incredibly anti-democratic, and a collapse of our system. Judges do NOT tell politicians that they cannot make abortion illegal. Tha…

Let us take the word as published by the CBC (pick another source). The idea (tldr) is that "At this point, no mass grave has been discovered, but more than a thousand potential un…

Thank you for that insight. I wish to mention that I live in the North and have been told by the "power" that I have to reduce my carbon footprint by 50% -- actually more like 75% …

Thank you. And... as a note. The following statement has been down-modded in the past (this is truly an "uncomfortable truth"): If we go with no-CO2/no fossil fuel policy, we will …

Your comment was extremely offensive. Let me take but one example: How many unmarked graves of children and infants behind "care homes" in Canada are there? How does that have to d…

"In reality the license just puts extra restrictions on distribution of the software and how derivative works can be licensed." Actually, copyright is now implicit. There is NO rig…

I agree with you. But I caution -- shipping lng is not something that Canada does or will do. Canada's stated goal is to TRY to ship hydrogen. Dangerous as that is. Yes, fertilizer…
