My deliverable is source code; my code targets several different platforms; and my clients expect to produce builds for all supported platforms from one build environment. Delivering with GNU Make alone would require me to either write tons

Is your deliverable source code or is it a binary? In my experience, Make (and build scripts) work just fine when your deliverable is a binary. You have complete control of the build environment, so hardcoding e.g., /opt/my/c

1/7 is double 1/14 since 1/7 == 2/14. Half of 1/14 is 1/28 since 2(1/28) == 1/14.

Yes, and you can also get many of the benefits of OOP with convention and discipline, but doing so requires you to frequently get down in the weeds since, e.g., vtables must be dealt with manually. The trouble with this approach is that the

I'm there. My username here is just [first letter of given name] + [surname] and my surname is pretty unique, so if you search for it there you'll find posts I've made in the past.

I'm in Maryland, but I grew up in NY/NJ, so I almost accidentally replied saying that I am, haha.

FWIW, over the past ten years I've pieced together the largest collection of MCA DiscoVision LDs in the world. My goal all along has been to digitally preserve it for all. I have a background which lies at the intersection of embedded

A manager authorizing you to commit a crime hardly absolves you of wrongdoing, legally or morally.

There are free market consequences as well though. People at large very easily get spooked by a brand when numerous alternatives are available.

Is anyone involved in the Flint, MI crisis in prison right now? Private companies are not immune from consequences. I agree that it's still possible to be poisoned by bottled water, but there are a greater number of incentives in place

Flint, MI is hardly the only case of this happening in the 21st century.

How could anyone know if their state government is competent? What if it's mostly competent, but the agency in charge of the water supply is the bad apple that spoils the whole bunch?

I remember Flint every time I see a Reddit crusader make the claim that bottled water is no better than water from the tap.

An image downscaled and then upscaled to its original size is effectively low-pass filtered where the degree of edge preservation is dictated by the kernel used in both cases. Are you saying low-pass filtering is bad for compression?

352x480, not 240. The Abyss, being shot on film, is 24fps. A VHS of The Abyss would achieve 29.97fps by using 3:2 pulldown which is lossless since it duplicates fields to make up the difference.

That's a damn good movie. Wally Shawn is a national treasure and Andre Gregory is captivating to listen to in that role. With that being said, I wonder if it would have been a podcast if it had been made today.
