Etsy is like the Spotify of pottery and other crafts. Most people on there make very little, some make a lot.

I agree with you. The whole "we were here first" argument tends to fall apart at a certain time horizon, almost like there's a statute of limitations on what constitutes "indigenous".

Strange fact: the Inuit are not classified as First Nations for some reason. Instead, they fall under the general rubric of "aboriginal". On the other hand, the Metis are regarded as First Nations, which makes little sense.

In my case, which is probably typical, there was a bug in a device driver for some obscure thing we were using where I worked. So I had to dive into the world of kernel modules and fix it. I think a lot of kernel knowledge and development i

A good tutorial for a tool I use every day. I'd add a couple of things: 1. Up/down arrows to scroll through command history 2. \timing will show the execution time of sql commands 3. \watch N allows you to repeat commands every N

Thanks for this link. I took a course on logic programming in school and it made a big impression. I found Prolog to be pretty mindblowing at the time and I'm happy to see it still is.

He was genuinely psyched on climbing for sure. As for "competent", I mean, he got up stuff but I'd say he was basically a 5.10 climber. He bragged about climbing everything in floppy Mythos and got really worked up about &quo

This is an obsolete, 25 year old product. I very much doubt there are any existing customers anymore. The company and the product literally no longer exist.

Similarly, I wonder about internet ports assigned to dormant or defunct companies. I used to work for a company back in the '90s that had their own IANA port assignment for a proprietary database product. Of course, they don't use

You are indeed wrong. Many populations are thriving. Some examples local to me: black bears, cougars, grizzly bears, various species of deer and a couple of elk herds. Climate change won’t affect these animals much, especially here in BC. T

This isn’t about your definition of “evil”. It’s an antitrust report, which deals specifically with monopolistic behaviour.

Kotlin seems to fit what you're asking for? And so does modern Java, to be honest.
