Right, I forgot about that development. A very late change in program structure, and having your main lander option have an indefinite schedule is quite bad!

That is equally fair. My position I suppose is that my enthusiasm has been spent on so many half-finished ambitious programs like this that it has all run out by 2026. Constellatio…

A lot of the discussion overlooks or wishes to avoid an uncomfortable problem with the Artemis program: Artemis III's hardware will not be ready for the forseeable future. The prog…

That is also the curse of the US now. If your funding will only last a single presidential term, you can't ensure a livelihood. The instability of US budgeting and the wildly diffe…

A hit piece, and only a hit piece. If there really was a gay mafia, they'd fear publishing this. The sourcing quality is typical for lavender scare stuff too.

Static stack allocation is the approach that the 6502 really demands, and it's cool to see in a conventional compiler toolchain. See the Cowgol language for another example: https:…

> If he “was on a deserted island and [plastic] was all that was available,” Rogers says he’d opt for types two [High-Density Polyethylene] and five [Polypropylene]. These are both…

If the workplace sucks, as most do right now, there's about three options for what to do: 1. Force out the people who are making it suck. This is difficult with how managers are tr…

The big thing seems to be less about GCC, and more a question of, "what should a compiler be?" He'd be better looking at smaller, less-known compilers, like the Portable C Compiler…

Western Europe is very different from the Europe that Zamenhof grew up in. You get so many internationalist movements out of Russia because it already was in many ways internationa…

Frankly, this is why despite my admiration for Esperanto, I do not engage in it. Posts like these are the 'no fun allowed' of constructed languages, and it pops up most often with …

Esperanto was intended as a sort of diplomatic language. It's got flaws, definitely. The sounds and spelling are very much from the creator's native Polish, a lot of important term…

That's part of the idea. It's that you slow down, try to figure out what exactly the other person means by what they are saying. In a language with a fixed vocabulary, context beco…

Got diagnosed this year with mitral valve prolapse. It won't be an issue medically for some time, but it is definitely sobering to feel the heart beating so strongly.

Personally, the split is a big problem. I don't keep a strict separation of left-hand and right-hand during typing.

See, you are demonstrating what I mean right here. I would like to switch just once. The Microsoft ergo model is the closest to a standard, it seems.

In my personal experience, you avoid repetitive stress injuries by shaking up how you type. Reaching for the mouse, moving where you hold your hands. It's the old way of teaching t…

Yeah. For everyone watching with excitement, keep in mind that the silicon semiconductor was for years worse in practice than germanium ones, even if it was theoretically better an…

Read what I said again. People went from east and mideast to west by ship, and SF is the best port.

San Fransisco is the main port of the west coast. The Oregon Trail gets all the fame, but ship was usually how newcomers came to California and the other western states. During WW2…

If it's any help... It has been a lot of shit, a lot of brutality, but it is changing. It is difficult to sustain such an environment forever. Most of the mega-laws that got passed…

Optum is an extreme example, but it's all of them. The non-profits run the same as the for-profits, and have converged more and more since 2000 or so.

The question is what you are angling for . If your goal is, sincerely, to provide better service, then you won't get it. Keep in mind that with so many patients nowadays being elig…

It's possible, but for GCC requires optimizations to be enabled. MSVC is completely off-limits in that approach.
