At a surface level, that sounds very similar. There’s also a lot of selling of art, swords, axes, period clothing, and such. Oh, and it’s the US so there’s lots and lots of food.

Bristol, WI and the TRF in Todd Mission, TX (outside Houston) have those days too, or sometimes a weekend. You see a handful of Doctors even when it’s not one of those. When it is, you’ll see a lot of Doctors, Starfleet, and others.

I have UTP and DAC cables here at home. I even have a bit of 10base2 around here, although none of it’s running at the moment.

Well, objectively very soft water cooks things a tiny bit slower than harder water, but being close to sea level should cook things a little faster. It probably is down to either taste or the labeling on your pasta.

The word “dash” is a word for shit in English (as in dashboard - literally the board on a buggy or wagon to deflect the horse droppings). That doesn’t keep a shell from being named that. Of course, dash also means to move quickly so it’s no

I agree it’s dubious. In the US cases have happened in which onerous requirements in shrink-wrap agreements were thrown out. I have no idea about Spain, but I’m betting asking for that permission in the phone app and getting it approved by

Often it’s not. Back when Sony put a Windows rootkit on autorun on music CDs just in case someone wanted to rip a FLAC, that was a felony violation of the CFAA in the US. The big difference is consent. If I use your app to watch a game and

You make some good points here. Even in file managers, one can usually highlight with a single click then use either a context menu or a menu at the top of the application to single-click on things like run, move, copy, or rename. I think t

Memory of the past implies the current state includes information about how the buffer got the way it is. I’m not defining anything in that way. I’m saying that if you have a buffer of N tokens, the next token N+1 can be chosen based on N t

It’s such a nice language, too. It’s too bad it doesn’t get more attention. I know someone who regularly runs a couple of utilities written in Haskell, but they’re the only Haskell code in his entire organization. It’s a shop that has C, C+

What about a language model requires knowledge of previous states to choose the next state based on the current state? Are you asserting that only the last word chosen is the current state? Couldn’t the list of symbols chosen so far be the

People hated s-expressions in Lisp, so instead of parentheses we ended up with angle brackets. Now there are programming languages built with XML syntax. There are at least a few things with YAML syntax that’s tied to implicit semantics, in

Airlines pretty much need to know their customers no matter how they get paid. Wouldn’t you just be moving that to another part of the process in that example?

I don’t know who at Coinbase discerned that HTTP 402 is unused. There are sites that return 402 and a relevant “pay your bill to continue” page out there. Not all of them will suddenly support this blockchain payment method.

Do you know any other languages that tend to be safer than C and suitable for CLI tools but without the borrow checker? Over many years I’ve seen a lot in C++, Go, Perl, Python, Ruby, Pascal, various shells, assembly, Java, and some in Haxe

This was definitely NT. It was the IIS server at an ISP. It might have been the same timer, and it might’ve been 49 days instead of 42. Its was in the forties, and 42 sticks in my mind pretty easily. It may have been basically the same bug.

I can imagine a great many things we collapse to one term because of similarities are in fact distinct, from myriad causes. Cancer is an example. The common cold is diagnosed based on symptoms, but is a reaction to any of several kinds of v

Most 32-bit games written for some form of Unix will use the system time_t if they care about time. The ones written properly, anyway. Modern Unix systems have a 64-bit time_t, even on 32-bit hardware and OS. If it’s on some other OS and u

Once upon a time, Windows NT 4 had a similar bug. Their counter was high precision, though, and was for uptime of the system. Back before Service Pack 3 (or was it SP2?) we had a scheduled task reboot the system on the first of the month. O

You have 13 years to upgrade to 64-bit ints or switch to a long long for time_t. Lots of embedded stuff or unsupported closed-source stuff is going to need special attention or to be replaced. I know the OpenFirmware in my old SunServer 600

I see a way to be notified of launch, and some FAQs. It looks good. The FAQs don’t mention the license. They also don’t mention the costs or even the pricing structure. Does it phone home? Is it per resource managed? Is it per action?
