As pointed out below it’s a pretty arid geography, but things just got worse for Lytton - an evacuation order for the village has been ordered[0][1] and “the whole town is on fire”[2] according to the mayor. (Edit: links) [0] https:/&

If the brown m&m clause wasn’t in the green-room section, then it’s still a valid test of the setup - in the sense: “can you guys simply communicate?”

What I heard is the biggest issue ties in with mentioned (perhaps inadvertently): carbon rims. Asking them to be the braking device (with associated heat-sink requirements) can cause them to catastrophically delaminate. They can’t safely pe

I’m only speculating, but I’d think they wouldn’t even “have to work with” anybody - couldn’t they just instrument whatever they want?

You’re absolutely right, I did misunderstand :/ Colour me a bit surprised, and corrected.

I think none of those (at least two, nearly surely) might qualify for that exemption. On the vast majority of systems I bet libcurl, for example, is probably linked against by 1 other piece of software - curl(1). “Really useful” isn’t th

zip.c L70: #define MAXCOM 256/* Maximum one-line comment size */ So looks like an “annoyance” more than “bug” per se. Excellent project, yours, btw.

I was looking for the (cbc?) story of a farmer in Alberta or Saskatchewan who was attracting beavers by this very method to reintroduce them to the environment, but I didn’t find it. Might have been CBC Ideas[0]. I’ll have to leave it as an

If that’s how the grants panned out, that makes this flip-sounding comment[0] from BSDCan all the more painful to hear. Minix is conceptually interesting, but if the mismanagement ran deep, I guess that’s why it couldn’t capitalize on its s
