I completely despise the new consumer facing electronics in cars. Not because I find anything inherently wrong with electronics, but because I find the software/electronics in every car, in literally every car made today, cheap or ex

I have extensive experience working in the industry for the past 13 years, but I don't even have a bachelor's degree. Am I screwed?

Erm, no. If you don't want to use butter or olive oil, don't use butter or olive oil. This has nothing to do with non-stick vs regular pan. In fact, butter and olive oil are more difficult to use, and more prone to scorching w

In particular I am interested in whether encrypted disk images or APFS volumes are "better" (by some metric), but I am interested in information about 3rd party solutions as well.

Ideally the fat is just a transfer medium for the heat. If you cook correctly, the fat doesn't reach the temperature of the pan, so it doesn't burn even when you use a hot pan, and even if you use butter. The key is adding fat jus

I hate non stick pots and pans, they are awful, and as you said, the olden alternatives are better. But I love my non stick saucepan for heating milk. Nothing comes close to that.

Transmission is not an indie mac app, it's a cross platform open source program, free both as in free speech and free beer. Little Snitch is a malware vector, pretty much like PC "antivirus" software.

Business? I'm a private individual buying stuff on Ebay. The only time I received money on PayPal was from friends who paid back small loans, like taxi trips or restaurant bills.

PayPal is a disgrace. Years ago they blocked my account and freezed my money until I sent them a copy of my passport, my birth certificate, and a proof of address. But sending them wasn't enough, as this dragged on for months and month

I agree. OpenBSD also has/had the same problem. Until not that long ago, they didn't even have downloadable bootable ISOs. You either had to buy the CD, or roll your own CD from the file sets. Until very recently there weren&#x2

Hi Colin. Why is freebsd-update(8) so slow? When upgrading between releases, it's significantly slower than apt, yum, dnf, Solaris IPS, pkgin, FreeBSD's own pkg(8), Windows Update, macOS update, while fundamentally doing less than

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, it works for adding single items (although it's not as convenient for me, as I don't have the favorites bar visible), but there's still no way to save all pages in a tab set. I used this featur

Not only I have read it, I have written several compiler targets for it. You are wrong. It's by far the easiest compiler I have worked with.

Ken Thompson has been writing compilers for over 50 years now. If you believe that Ken "barely knew how to get a compiler working in the first place", we have nothing to talk about, as you obviously made up your mind already.

> Oracle is not capable of relicensing OpenZFS, as they do not hold the copyright for it past code that is common between ZFS v28/ZPOOL v5 and OpenZFS. Yes, all the parties that contributed code would have to agree, not just Oracle.

I don't see anything denigrating there. I disagree with Rob though, syntax highlighting is not juvenile, it's cargo cult programming.

I don't know anything about FPGAs, are all FPGAs compatible? Assuming this fits on an FPGA, does it work on every FPGA?

The site asks for "home country" when it really means citizenship. Not the same thing at all. Also, it's missing a way to input multiple citizenships.

No, math is math, engineering is engineering, and science is science. Engineering and science are not math, even though they use math, and engineering is not science, even though it uses science. They are all very different disciplines.

Except in Go, types are defined using modular 2s complement. Overflow is not considered a problem, it's a feature that code depends on.
