ha, try to keep going. Run it under samply and Gungraun (need AMD64 for this)

The joke is there in the name. It is wrong (on purpose): it should be "Mañana". That term means "tomorrow" in your Spanish class, but it can mean "later/future/morning" or even "la…

I don't think this part is correct: "If you distribute modified code, or offer it as a networked service , you must make the source available under the same terms." That's what som…

Yes, can't have .unwrap() in production code (it's ok in tests)

Haha: Can't find a good Windows laptop. It's true, most of them are bad. Galaxy Book5 Pro or Microsoft Surface are OK.

Yeah, "coq" is a grade school joke in French class. It just means "rooster" or something in French, but it sounds ridiculous in English. This one has the same problem. A company wi…

It is striking that it sounds like Brian Eno - An Ending (Ascent)

They used to! Anyway, Iceland is really easy to travel to. Everyone speaks perfect English, and the coffee is good. I know a little bit of Icelandic because they think I am Iceland…

No kidding. It is /so/ fast. It has remote development like VS Code, and most of the features I use, so it's my main thing now. Claude Code was the only thing that made me wince, s…

A lot of them use G or F because that is the biggest bass note you can get in a club system.

Yep. You can see it on the map in the Museo Nacional de Antropología. El periférico ("the ring highway") and other major roads follow the old causeways. I have been there many time…

They are using the wrong tactics. They should use the "Kleenex" argument and say it's generic. But what do I know.

oh, it is "declaration", yes, but not South America. this guy is even on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/James-Lambert-1758-1847-Elaboration-R...

Yes, that seems right. Not that difficult. This one suffers from some poor penmanship, though.

It helps to avoid timezone details within a day or two. I agree "a month ago" is pretty bad, but I haven't seen that. But it's good to say "1hr ago" if I send an email from New Yor…

Oxide computer has a really interesting one. This probably hits all of the big points: https://oxide.computer/podcasts/oxide-and-friends/1272104

I think it's because you have to think it through when they get too big for one machine. A lot of those so-called "NoSQL" databases are really meant to represent graph databases (t…

I sent a correction once, and they did indeed fix it after a couple of weeks. I only knew it was wrong because I had studied the area in non-interactive maps ahead of time.

I read this comment because I saw some other moderation duty comments and looked at your history. I don't think you should use the word "thither" for transactional comments. It is …

Oh, interesting. I'd probably never use something like Nolly. So, out of my range. I do use the synth stuff, and I can get the Intel mini to like 50% with some effort, but it's nev…

Surprising, but you really don't even need an M1 for those programs. You want fast external SSDs, though. I use the last Intel Mac mini for audio things, and it's fine.

It is the English term. It collapses the definite article into one word: "the Port" -> "o Porto". Nothing modern uses this name anymore, though. I always see "Porto", even in Ameri…

If you look at the history there, you'll see "naranj" in the Arabic. This is still the word in Spanish: Naranja (البرتقالي). The wikipedia article is pretty good: https://en.wikipe…

This is a pretty fair comment, but also not scratching the surface in some ways. Firstly, any decent boss will give you days off if some gnarly on-call stuff happens. Anywhere from…

I think it can be true in some situations. If you think of magazines, it would be a disappointment for Rolling Stone to contain no ads. Same for camera magazines. News content real…
