I used to love the A4 Whitelines squared soft-cover perfect-bound notebooks. But they seemed to discontinue them. And their online integration/scanning stuff is horrible. I'm now using the Leuchtturm 1917 A4 grids (like #55, but

The T800 was a competitive CPU, more-or-less, although it was always odd when compared to the mainstream processors of the day. The fact that it didn't easily support C, Pascal, or even BASIC (in the early stages) meant that it was sl

If you live in NSW, you can join the City of Sydney Library. And they do inter-library loans, so you could request a copy and they'll dig one up for you. https://www.cityofsydney.nsw.gov.au/library-information-serv...

Fair enough. The other thing you might consider is a separate VLAN for your work equipment. This won't address the public IP concerns, but will separate your work and personal network traffic. It would require decent spec switch, rout

Perhaps the easiest technical solution would be a cheap phone and a plan that allows tethering? That gets it off your network and your personal public IP for $NOTMUCH/month. It's still possible that your employer might use their

Ah, yes -- I hadn't thought through the worse outcomes for snowfall. Thanks!

Thanks for the details. Do you know why this isn't done for walls as well? It seems like the cellulose is packed directly against both the interior and exterior surfaces of the walls. Is it simply that hot air rises, and so it's

Your "average person" doesn't reflect my view of an average person's feelings. Even leaving alone the assumption that it's possible to distinguish a foreigner by appearance, a feeling of being "creeped out&quo

Ok, but the people on the other side of the line are equally able to contribute to the resources and structures needed to survive (and vice versa). I understand regional cooperation, but demarcation at a national level seems weird to me.

I'm curious about the "vent chute": the asphalt-coated fiberboard above the ceiling insulation, but set below the roof sheathing. It creates a cavity beneath the roof that is vented through the eaves. Anyone know why this is

I'm always amazed at the notion of loyalty to some arbitrary geographical region: why would I feel that? And why would it stop or start at some line on a map? Humans are endlessly fascinatingly weird.

Errr ... because they're commercial operating systems, with the expectation that software is not just universally available for no cost? The respective stores for macOS and Windows are changing this, but there's a 30-ish year hist

The economics are quite involved, and can be easily skewed depending on what externalized costs you choose to include in your analysis. Superficially, flying has relatively lower infrastructure costs because it only needs the two endpoints

In the Australian case, that percentage is heavily skewed by bulk freight of coal, iron ore, wheat, etc. That's often using dedicated tracks, direct from mines to ports, and not connected to the general freight network. The mix of roa

TBH, if they're _wanting_ to do something in the bedroom, it's usually something that we (parents) wouldn't allow. So I'm usually a bit suspicious ... This is 10yo kid.

Sometimes, but mostly not. Our rooms aren't big, so there's not a lot of space for things like Lego, or light saber fights, or whatever. Reading or computer games or drawing would work, but they're the kind of things that ar

My $DAYJOB task this week is beginning the process of splitting up a 14554 line C++ file. It's basically the implementation of a single class, but by way of comparison, the header file is only 743 lines, so there's a lot of code

If they're really the only two options, I'd use C++: code that cannot be actually compiled and executed isn't code at all. You can write pseudo-code all day, and learn very little. It's fundamental that programmers gra

I'd have to dig out the documentation, but I think Tilera addressed some of the Transputer's link limitations by having five (and six in the TilePro64) separate communications meshes between the cores. There's one mesh each f

What (if any) is the overlap with Plan9 (and its various forks and derivatives, including Inferno)? Given KenC, I was amused to see that Brutal has its own C variant too!

It depends, but yes. In my experience, if you're busy, the only way to remain on top of things is to be quite ruthless with your time management. You have no time that is "free", so anything that you want to get done needs

This is really the best solution: pay (a lot) extra to get a registrar that offers enterprise class support. Make sure you set up 2FA, fallback email addresses (also 2FA'd), pay for 10 years in advance, etc, but most important is that

As an aside, this is why mailing list signups should always have a confirmation step. I've had the same public email address since 1995. I get a ton of spam in my raw emails. The only approach I've found helpful is to use a white

It's just a mindset. People complain about things all the time. As you listen/watch/read/etc, listen to their complaints, and think about how you might make that situation better with technology you're familiar wit
