Honestly, it's remarkable how often they hold (or held, now that it's unpopular) people down in just that way. There's a few other not-nice ways to disable someone. Usually they don't die. Designing a protocol is not…
In terms of passwords, I just have them written down in a file that I print out in a desk drawer and keep a copy of in my email.
It isn't like Windows is a toy I admit. My view is that it's the result of decades worth of customer demands (scarcely any of which I need) and a tendency to feature creep to do major releases. The cruft in a thing like…
Did I miss the part of the article that mentioned the average size of houses over time? The increasing code requirements over time?
>cultural propaganda that promotes the idea that the justice system is fair and unbiased. I'll take what you might think of as a third track. It's not so much that it's biased, but that it's arbitrary. Especially at the…
regarding George Floyd's history as a pregnant women stomach stickin' bad man, dunno if that counts. As a practical matter, I'd say it's more along the lines of just how do you control a crazy acting person without…
>Things are "illegal" when they're in the law book, Probably oughtta get the Kazakhstani Disney police right on it.
>There is not even technology that would scale up enough to store a country's power for weeks or at least a few days. My bet is that the Japanese will build some huge newfangled storage facility. There'll be a big…
>I agree but that trust was never there. It largely was but misplaced. Walter Cronkite was never truthful, the Joint Chiefs of Staff rarely had your interest in mind. Public policy has always been people scrabbling for…
Here's what I miss, and it mostly just shows my age, and that's truly huge screens. Modern flat panels are so large/cheap that they're a no-brainer in place of most modern theatres. OTOH, the peripheral vision-spanning…
Exactly. There's a bunch of opportunities for understanding by looking at different political units, but it's all lost in the posturing.
>All of this focus on the point of origin is misplaced. I think it matters quite a lot, but not for scientific reasons. If the point of origin is sloppy lab practice (maybe it's impossible to not be sloppy) and everyone…
>And like any serialized TV series, I'm too old to care about movies much, but that's an interesting point. I wonder to what extent high-dollar bespoke TV series are hurting the movie business. Streaming and theatres at…
oh, bummer. So you'd need a clean tool chain too.
It's funny that leather boots are probably the easiest US-made thing to find (or Mexican-made). Maybe it's the lack of pieces that you find in a modern silly looking athletic shoe. It would be interesting to quantify…
Oh. More like Lumena (Time Arts/John Dunn). Amazing.
Nothing escapes Sturgeon's Law.
Weird, never heard of it. Does it overlap with Discreet or Softimage stuff?
Ooh. Maybe a sedan delivery wagon (two door, front seat only). I think there may have been some Chevelles like that.
'round these parts (which is hilly and has wet snow), the limiting factor (given decent snow tires) doesn't tend to be traction, it's high centering.
Oh well, I figured that a PowerPC Notebook was for hobbyists. What I would find fascinating is to think about languages and OSs for FPGA and try to break loose from the utterly boring C/Unix/68k,x86,MIPS,blah paradigm.…
I figure someone might as well go whole-hog on that and build a PC with just a big ol' FPGA.
For me, programming for free would be painful at a cellular level. Better to learn the piano or how to do portrait art.
'it would cause a massive backward-compatibility problem to switch to something other than an integer.' lol. of course. Suggestion numero two. A dedicated syscall for additional syscalls that has a dedicated parameter…
Imagine the game of 'telephone' you could play. By the end of the last interpreter, the guy at the Apple Store would get an order of Granny Smith apples and his vintage Mr. Coffee machine would be repaired by a passing…
