No, not just that, but before the idea that most systems would be internet connected. NT's design was started in 1989 and 3.1 was released in 1993 - development started a full 7 years before the idea of a connected world was commonplac

I've done some reading on the topic - and what surprises me is that none of the professional literature (that I've found), touches on this. But for me as a reader of history, it's blindly obvious - in particular with the stra

My belief that part of the depth of Trauma compared to WWII and Korea was the rotation system as used, vs demob as a unit. To expand on this, in Vietnam, individual soldiers were rotated in and out based on time in country, in WWII, units r

I dont believe the dichotomy that its a choice between government and public. Both parties are fundamentally wrong on a whole host of issues - the democrats are wrong on how markets work, and republicans treat poverty like it's a moral

also, modern WP and WP from 10 years ago are very different beasts. Now most of the risk is in plugins, and if you're careful about plugins - it all works okay, without security issues.

I used lists exclusively, which presented a non-optimized reverse order (most recent first) timeline.

I was following some very very very inside the beltway political shit, so its not wrong in this case. You could drill down into a bunch of specific areas and have a similar effect all over, but trying to do that in too many places leads to

Yeah, during the 2020 election, I was often 48+ hours ahead of print news, and 24+ hours ahead of NPR and TV. I miss that bit, I dont miss most of twitter though.

Indeed, I've always marched to the beat of my own drummer.

We started with smart bulbs, but once we bought a house, we've been replacing them with Lutron Casita switches and adapters.

That sounds like an old school X10 system problem, I remember issues like that.

I think there is a place for a party which is not quite as socially liberal as democrats or socially conservative as republicans, pro-worker (somewhat protectionist and anti-free trade), and less authoritarian than the extremes of either ma

In the end I think specialized hardware always looses over software - that's why those things failed.

I understand the existential fear of the eternal dirt nap - but I dont care how much my loved one will miss me - because the quality of those last memories will be poor - and eternally painful to them, and will color the memories of me fr

I dont know if its that these folks are slowing down - or less capable mentally, or if the world has changed so much from their youth that they're unable to deal with the change. My 90 year old grandfather is able to deal with the chan

The conclusion I've come to is that faith and logic occupy different portions and use different pathways in the brain. They're one of the things where the cognitive dissonance isn't as hard to hold having dissonance over

Creationist and Strongly pro-life seem to fit with what I can find of what he's said. I can get how people become pro-life in a certain way - if you believe life begins at conception, all abortion is murder, period. If you're like

I wonder what the actual incidents of these are, I suspect it's very low - figure that ~2m people fly in the states every day. Also, its not just TSA that has the chance to steal, airline employees do too, because they ferry the bags t
