Yeah. The last mammoths died just 4000ya. They were on a remote island with no ppl.

I just want to point out something a bit pedantic, but I feel is an important distinction: Linux community and devs need to stop saying i386 and say i586 or even i686 as this is closer to what is meant. Linux doesn’t support 386 anymore, yo

Honestly? I personally care very little whether or not something is open source at this point in time. Code bases have become so large that there’s little benefit to me other than self-hosting, and there are few things I care to self-host.

I know it isn’t popular to have this point of view, but I think Gates was right at the time. The work Microsoft did on BASIC back then was good, and it made computers usable. That people wouldn’t pay made the entire thing worthless. This en

Hear hear! And they usually develop their own unique bugs than then increase the spaghetti-ness.

Bash is already there. Also, if you really wanted something more powerful than Bash for a shell scripting context, Ruby or Perl would be a better fit.

Honestly, every paradigm and tool the industry has come up with has been great at identifying and attempting to solve either or one or many issues with software development and maintenance. The UNIX guys did this for C, where when UNIX syst

But, you can always override IFS, so this isn’t as much of an issue.

This. I use Tiny11 for this reason. The UI is still super inconsistent, but otherwise it’s fine. Mac bothered me by likewise becoming inconsistent, but also soldering everything so the machine is bricked when an SSD or battery dies. In the

It could last longer if gaming with their game porting toolkit gets big enough to drive more Mac sales. Money talks.

Well, that's true, but there are also more important applications: reducing heat and power loss in chips, increasing the efficiency of electric motors, increasing the efficiency of electromagnets, decreasing charge times for batteries,

Yeah, but in this case, not only was the temperature setting increased, but so was the oven’s insulation. As a result, the oven became more efficient at heating and more efficient at holding heat.

From that link: “Sustained changes in solar radiance – that is changes that occur over decades or centuries – could potentially have an effect on Earth's climate system, which is why such information is included, along with a variety o

This is kind of the basis of small-government advocacy. Whatever good the current person may do with said power, it is unlikely that the next person will be so benevolent.

They are, however, deeply flawed. The labor theory of value is the core Marxist economic principle, and it is incorrect. Marx also doesn’t deal with the knowledge problem, and he doesn’t adequately address the value of laborless resource. I

It would seem that life covers every inch of this planet in some capacity. The more we look, the more there is. Life under the ocean, life inside rocks, life floating around in the air, life just persists everywhere. It’s gotta be elsewhere

KIA and Hyundai have built and are building more in Georgia as well.

For the USA, war (at some level) has pretty much always been constant. Autarky also isn't new to the USA. The current on-shoring movement seems to me to be more about the USA's empire collapsing, and the military contractors getti

There’s always MDISC, but you’d need a ton of them.

I agree, but from what I understand it's partially about things typically behave. At super cool temperatures, ice acts like stone, and a bunch of other stuff will appear to be as strong as metals. There's also a ton of tradition d

I go to movies somewhat often and the issue is far more common than it used to be. Oddly, it isn’t constant. Sometimes, you see a film and everyone is well behaved. Other times, people are terrible. I’ve found little reason for it.

Having known many conspiracy theorists... yeah. Given the US troop presence in Korea, they would say "absolutely," and they'd then adjust their tinfoil hats.

I feel like all three major OSs are crap and have trade offs. It’s all about finding which one’s trade offs are ones you can live with. I can use any of the three, but each annoys me in different ways. I use macOS because I find it less ann
