I live in a mountainous area. Fifteen minutes from my house, there is no cell coverage. There are lots of hikers and climbers around. Why aren't there dead bodies everywhere?

I used to get messages when I posted about remote work. People wanted to know how to get started, which companies to apply to and so forth. Many people don't write back once I explain that I do enterprise Java development for BigCo. An

Many people are surprised to learn that Linux (and I guess some of the BSDs?) have a virtual machine that runs in the kernel and executes its own specific bytecode. LLVM has a BPF backend, as mentioned in this article.

Beef cattle only spend the last few weeks of their lives on feedlots. Otherwise, they are grazing. You should visit a working ranch/farm sometime.

To be fair, Tolkien explicitly set out to create a Northern European pre-history or mythology. I am not sure if he even considered non-European readers as his audience. A good parallel might be the love many Westerners have for anime.

Still the same I think, except in certain provinces such as BC chiropractors and naturopaths can unfortunately refer to themselves as "doctors" and do so at every opportunity. But maybe that doesn't fall under the definition

Fair point, but to be honest nearly all modern work is borderline dystopic, regardless of how "important" it's deemed by society. If you think being a programmer in BigOrg, Inc. sucks, then take a summer and work on a constru

It's generally an option you can set. When playing on higher difficulty levels, auto-aim gets turned off. It's actually amazing how well some people can aim with the controller and no auto-aim. I am not one of those people.
