It's not, but there is no urgency to it either. You can still download the old format from the Amazon (if you choose the "transfer via USB" option) or by using an older version of the Kindle app.

Out of the ~100 people who use desktop Linux (I'm one of them) a generous 1 (rounded upwards) uses a non-systemd distro. I doubt it will have any real impact on the number of users.

Antivirals are not a drug, it's an entire class of drugs. The point is, a cure for cancer makes no more sense than a cure for sickness.

My point is being "undecided" on climate change is no more reasonable than being undecided on a round earth or a heliocentric solar system.

Let me rephrase your question, which should make the answer clear: > It's interesting how dissent in these round earth threads is downvoted to death. I wonder what sort of effect this has on the undecided?

Anecdotal points like yours don't really mean much considering the long term trend data mentioned in the article.

If you can program [1], you can do BFS - no need to "invent" anything. Given a tree like this [2], asking you to "print the numbers in order" is not a difficult question, it's a trivial one. I would expect any int

That's just marketing bullshit. Like partially zero calorie cake. You know, it has zero calories, except for the parts of it that doesn't.

How will that work with modules though? As in, how do you vendor a single library (that you want to make a fix to) while still building with module support? Right now, "module mode" is mutually exclusive with "vendor mode&quo

If something is "may or may not", then I don't think "therefore" is a valid conclusion.

The whole reason Microsoft gave up on their own engine is because no one was using it, not even inside the company. Why would Edge suddenly become popular just because of a rendering engine change?

by calcifer 8y ago
Because even if you could keep up with the changes (you won't), your fork still won't mean anything for the open web or standards because nobody will care about your total market share of exactly 3 users.

We are getting there, this already happens with unrecoverable read errors (URE). With RAID5 for example, rebuilding a 4TiB array is expected (i.e. >50% chance) to have at least one URE.
