The pity commercial is why I hate watching the Olympics in the US. They'll skip over half the competitors just to show us how poor and sick some athlete's mother is or whatever. Sometimes you even miss the winner while the person

True but this is exactly the sort of thing the FTC should be cracking down on. Consumer protections in the US are a joke.

Hopefully a nefarious actor doesn't start training the orcas to engage in criminal activity. It has happened before with penguins, please refer to the excellent documentary, Batman Returns.

Yeah people who do real work need a 6000 pound vehicle with terrible sight lines that can 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. You know, just in case your work involves obliterating someone in a parking lot with an amount of force that should probably be i

What a strange attitude you have, simultaneously ignorant of how sovereign debt ratings work while also dismissing the work of experts in the field.

Yeah, the angst about goto is misplaced. Dijkstra was mostly talking about control flow jumping all over the program, ie spaghetti code. So it's funny when people rigidly adhere to the goto ban while simultaneously littering a bunch o

You must not have read the article either because it states the extension was buried in the budget bill and got almost no press coverage. That’s fine, we don’t all need to be experts on everything that we read here, but when I’m not at leas

OPSEU is the union for Ontario's government run liquor store, LCBO. IMO, the LCBO does a terrible job at limiting the social and health impact of alcohol anyways and this stunt is yet another argument for disbanding it altogether.

To be fair I find it completely baffling that R, Pandas, and all sorts of other tools make it difficult or impossible to mmap a column to a dataframe. Instead you have to do backflips to load data that doesn't fit in RAM.

I guess we'll see how the Ryzen 7000 Framework laptop plays out in terms of power consumption but I have no complaints with my 6850u-based Thinkpad, the battery lasts for 11-14 hours and the parallel compile performance is top tier. Bu

Ubuntu LTS has a package called linux-hwe that backports the latest Ubuntu kernel to the last LTS release. I find it's a good compromise between maintaining a mainline kernel and using an ancient one. And since the hwe kernel is provi

It's interesting you had problems with the AX200 chip, I bought one for my X13 specifically because it has good kernel drivers. On Ubuntu, there's a "hardware enablement kernel" package, linux-generic-hwe-22.04, that&#x2

Routers already support the Options field, it's part of IPv4. The old RFCs mentioned are specifically designed so only routers at the edge need to support them. You should try reading the specs before making technical claims instead o
