Yes, but it’s also another NMS venue that everyone needs to connect to, so there’s a cost as well.

Agreed: a semi-colon is a bit stop-start, while a en-dash just flows. I’ve used them, with spaces, for decades. Minus-minus in plain text, and autocorrect reads that nicely. I sometimes use an em-dash, but mostly in LaTeX: they’re too awkwa

I like Eiffel. But if I want to use Eiffel, I’ll use Eiffel (or Sather). I’d rather C remained C. Maybe that’s just me?

Start with naturally occurring things only. Mine and refine iron ore to make hub. Mine and refine zinc(?) to plate it. Drill for and refine oil to make PET for disk and casing. Injection mold casing. Make film for actual disc. Etc, etc. I’d

Most service providers support “sign in with email”. I’ve yet to find a service where no provider has this option.

Trump himself might not stay on as president, but one of his proxies could stand and win, assuming that there continues to be no viable opposition. Vance is the obvious candidate, but I don’t think the 2028 strategy will become clear until

Perhaps you don’t need to _prove_ it, just introduce reasonable doubt? If you can use ANPR evidence to show a plate being in two places at once, that should be sufficient. A parking garage might have plate records too. Even something like

If it's a strategic necessity, and if the mining sector is going too far milking that for profit, perhaps it's time for the government to a public sector mining company? Instead of giving out public money to private companies, us

I’m curious about the association between income disparity and crime rate. I suspect big cities tend to have a larger underclass population and a larger wealthy class. Predictable results ensue: Democrat administrations, and higher crime ra

No, it means that if you have a public history of both code and team interaction, it’s something that will influence our hiring decision. It’s not necessary to have one, nor to maintain it. But for a recent graduate, it’s one way to demons

I think that the operational incentives for advertising-funded, for-profit social media make them unavoidably bad. Conceptually, a digital means of communicating life’s events between friends needn’t be terrible, but … the impulse to self-p

The problem was mostly that storage was expensive. It’s difficult to understand in an era of cheap terabyte SSDs, but in the 1960s and 1970s, DASD (what IBM mainframes called hard drives) was relatively tiny and very expensive. And so progr

COBOL PIC clauses aren’t able to deal with bit twiddling. And that’s what a lot of this stuff was using. See eg. https://www.mainframemaster.com/tutorials/cobol/picture-clau...

Yes. And yet. It’s like every generation gets fixated on something new which can be perceived as moral decay and societal harm, and then rails against it. Making it even more popular with the younger generation, of course. I’ve seen the sa
