Those words are "taboo" because they convey a direct "you are property or worse and I can hurt you and you can't stop me" violent threat. At the moment, at least in some parts of the world, that _violence_ is what

There's obscenity and there's violence. Some words imply the person you're insulting is unsavory. Some words imply "I have power over you such that I can do anything I want and you can't stop me." The degree t

I typically just give up on weird corners of shell when I find an working version of the same. For instance -- why would you use "alias" when you can make a function? The syntax is a little weird with functions, but it's a l

My wife was quite sad when I suggested to her that "this little piggie went to market" was in fact the farmer taking the pig to the market to be butchered, and that "this little piggie went wee wee wee all the way home"

I think by keyed it isn't just "can't be plugged in upside down" but also "can't be plugged into the other plug that's basically the same but connects to some other subsystem." Ideally a system like

That's roughly the same size -- like swamp thing vs namor -- both are name brand, almost blue chip heros. Or put another way -- as they said in gawker[1] -- if you're in a lawsuit with a billionaire you better have a billionaire o

An off-hand reference to "350k/day" shouldn't be naively translated to "4 per second" 350k/ day likely means sometimes it's 3.5 million, all smashed into a 30 minute period of time, because some nitwi

It'd cost $7.6 if you pay in cash and $7.62173451123 if you pay via a card? (and, if I were to pass the "small change" bill, I'd, by fiat, make it so that it'd still be "$7.6" even if it was $7.68 -- and t

I've said before, I'll say again: We should have the $0.1 and $0.5 coins and everything should be rounded to that. There's no reason to have $0.01 or even $0.05 precision. The value of the dollar, these days, has inflated to

That's a really good point... But -- (and forgive me if I'm totally wrong) -- this isn't just "non-english" but "non-phonetic" which is a smaller set of written languages, and the underlying language is ..

I'll sometimes gauge code complexity by comparing the number of lines of code against the output of tar -cf - . | gzip | base64 | wc -l IE "how much does it compress?" Looking at APL -- I'm reminded of what happen

Yes -- to some degree. And "AS" could mean "BGP AS" or it could mean "country or alliance of countries" -- the internet as seen in the west vs iran are likely very different things. Maybe skynet uses one set o

The "internet" has died several times already. I doubt I could send email to anyone on bitnet or via a UUCP bang path, for example. This iteration of the internet is pretty big; it may not die (where you live) but it will likely c

The crazy thing is that there's a list of actually agreed-upon root name servers and they maintain a uniform namespace for the internet. I suspect the above statement isn't actually a true statement across the world, but at least

Lucky you. I've got a couple nest protects that need to be put into a shallow grave. They've kinda mucked up the rest of the nest ecosystem. A pox on google.

I don't think Silicosis is cancer as much as it's just "shredding your lungs" It's a horrifying disease and people in affected industries should always wear PPE and likely don't.

I'm saying that companies that opensource their products tend to distinguish "enterprise" and non-enterprise based on things like RBAC and audit mechanisms, neither of which is "security" as much as "compliance
