Indeed, one reason it took so long to get to this point was because Biden/his party was more interested in his legacy than his efficacy.

186 years with the current level of funding and procedures, I assume. And random, unannounced visits of even 1% of those sites should make a significant difference.

Could our marginalization of healthy human sexuality relative to other normal, if risky, activities be contributing to said “filthiness”?

Indeed, '\0' is the sentinel character for uncounted strings in C, and even if your own counted string implementation is “null-byte clean”, aspects of the underlying system may not be (Windows and Unix filesystems forbid embedded

Too bad about the headstock, but a Telecaster doesn’t look right with any other shape either.

TuxPaint is just as fun for adult artists, especially using a stylus touchscreen. The Magic tools have unique digital-grunge effects that a more respectable paint program won’t have (my favorite is Chalk). I only recommend replacing the sto

Between this and the iPad used as a display for a headless MacBook it’s an ongoing tragedy that the best use case for such world-class computing hardware is as a screen for another device (which is itself running the same OS, on comparable

The hardware stack pointer is restricted to indexing within [$0100, $01ff] but, lacking a stack-pointer-relative addressing mode, it is more preferable to realize a parameter stack using a zero-page pointer indexed with the (zp),Y addressin

Even the most measured emotional appeal is considered unprofessional on the basis that it appeals to humanity; it is “unfair” to appeal to someone on a para-rational level. You can’t reason away how someone’s face dropping, their voice brea

As a single person who eats out far too often, I've observed a general decline of commercial eateries over the past year in staffing, ingredient quality, and menu offerings. It's back to organic PB&J's for me.

I love AWK. Its stringly-typedness would make a Javascript programmer blush: 0, “”, and actually-nothing are identically falsey. Numbers are no different from strings representing numbers, like Lua. Somehow, I don’t mind — if you really nee

Agree, I wish them the best of luck — I’m not convinced a computer will ever beat me in the single-sided perf board niche, and I’m but an amateur, but I’d be happy if one did.

If this good were “clearly” great for society, they wouldn’t have trouble forming a conglomerate towards achieving it. We can use the wealth that isn’t sponged up and locked away at the bottom of the sea for such initiatives. Society has ha

In what sense? Higher resolution formats provide more true-to-life fidelity, but that's only more true-to-nonsense when the additional information is produced from extrapolation.

Neither just text or just concepts, but text-concepts — LLMs can only manipulate concepts as they can be conveyed via text. But I think wordlessly, in pure concepts and sense-images, and serialize my thoughts to text. That I have thoughts t
