Venezuela was purchased. Delcy. The rest was performative.

This comment epitomises one of the reasons why the US does not and cannot win any war against a peer adversary. Flawed data.

Wikipedia will suffer the same fate if they don't reform soon. Their "editors" are worse than SO's.

My iPhones' batteries have all lasted a minimum of 5 years. Having said that, my Nokia E71 and Communicator batteries are still usable after 20+ years.

Played with the old Tensilica versions, haven't seen the RISCV one yet but you're right. ESP32 is probably a better option today than Arduino.

The legacy apps have been receiving minor updates along with the new Affinity app. "Everything is working" was meant to imply my legacy flow as well as the new flow haven't broken at all. I'm sure that in a year or so Ca

FPGAs are a good way to get into Verilog. The Arty-7 series from Xilinx/AMD is affordable. Another option is the BeagleV-Fire which uses a Microchip RISC-V plus FPGA. You could also take the Arduino route which has dozens of options.

I paid for the entire Affinity suite in one shot, was worried when Canva took over, but glad to say everything's working together just fine.

I never heard that when I lived in the UK in the 70s, but only in Ireland in the late 90s.

That's because one doesn't usually look at their watch to find out what the time is: most of the time (pun unintended) we want to how much time is left for an activity, or for an activity to start. As in, how many more minutes bef

Just take their cover pages on China over the last decade. Every prediction has been wrong. The same story for India or any of the BRICS nations. https://www.economist.com/leaders/2015/08/29/the-great-fal

I missed that as my subscription ran out in 2017. Hilarious. Would have framed that cover.

Yes. The pink is also wrong more often than not when they're talking about non-European issues. When they talk about Europe they lie. Subtle difference.

Most of the time, especially when it comes to China. Every front page article on China has been wrong for at least the last decade.

Re: ghosting - this was the single biggest annoyance when I was hiring en masse. The HR executives would ghost both potential hires and no hires, because they couldn't be bothered to keep track (or they didn't understand the nuanc

It's usable if you judiciously use lists. I found mastodon inconsistent in timely information and Bluesky is Dorsey's loonies on crack.

Musk renamed Twitter. It's still around so that book title needs an update.

My last company had the best of both worlds, they paid the card directly provided you submitted your expenses reports in time and allowed you to use the points. The CEO overrode the bean counters on this.

This is what makes sense for me as well. All I need a local model is for playing with simple graphics: no gradients, at most ten colours which I can push through VTracer to get an SVG. Draw Things does the job, usually in 120 seconds or le

It's not ironic, it's just a fact. The only thing which counts is raw power and the means to deliver it. The US just got a lesson in its limits from the Iranian regime. Countries with natural resources need their own defense again

Meatpuppetry? Bludgeoning? They've created their own lexicon and priesthood to run it. No wonder it's so badly compromised. Larry is right.

By defunding the UN until it falls apart and is rebuilt from scratch. Right now it's a dysfunctional joke. As are most "international" bodies created just after 1945. "Rules based order" when it suits you, "pre
