IIRC Soylent is not patented and the creator has said that if someone can create the same thing, then that's fine because the goal is to help people. So... it doesn't matter.

This works fine if you're willing to let everyone believe you are who they assume you are. If you correct someone, you're likely to "perceive hostility."

Does it require a CS degree to tell the author was joking, or can anyone with a brain do that, too?

I have the C book... It is quite antiquated and has a lot of ugly pointer math in the tokenizer/lexer beginning parts. It does sound like the ML book is a better choice.

Infocom games are full of dead ends. Best to save separate files often or you could find yourself missing an important item with nothing to do but start over (and it's often the case that you don't realize you're missing some

Differential serial with embedded clock seems to be popular these days. How about SnuBus?

Those vendor libraries are super ugly and take the fun out of a project.. I absolutely hate the tedious "work" programming where you plug bits of pre-built technology together without actually doing much of anything on your own. A

They could have gotten someone who looked more like a cop to do the beating, but that would be the only difference. Cops are often poorly trained, out of practice, and in bad health. It's easiest for them to fall back on beating you wi

If you're rich, you can have fun doing whatever and enjoy the safety net that allows you to attempt whatever you like without devestating consequences of failure. Lack of hard work is only guarantee of failure if you're poor.

I think high risks and catastrophic consequences would prevent most farmers from hot-rodding their tractors. You buy a tractor of a certain size, which is designed to run the implements that attach to it, and you run it and maintain it on a
