Gengrich is an interesting subject of study precisely because he worked so well with Clinton that the roaring '90s happened. Clinton fared poorly under Democratic control of the house in his first two years, which was lost in the midte

I actually learned this in a book for Xerox Ventura Publisher in the late '80s.

I'm not saying that Jefferson's words were elevated beyond his peers. His flaws certainly belie such an assertion. I'm saying that what Jefferson did was to remove problematic judges. Congress had, has, and will have the powe

Jefferson might have been called a totalitarian had the word existed when he signed the judiciary act of 1802, which removed judges added by federalists. I have learned about it this week. https://gingrich360.com/2025/0

I have little doubt that Jeffery Goldberg is telling the truth. So, was he added to the conversation inadvertently, or was it deliberate? On the question of whether the use of the application was negligent, well, that is now moot.

I have not read this article, but I saw the headline this morning. I am reading it now. https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/signal-app-owned-china-it-safe-use... Edit: nothing to see here. "So, is Signal App owned by China? The

Yes, I agree that this is obvious. When it is accessible in these regions, it will be used.

A huge focus of gene drive manipulation of mosquitos is to force their populations to extinction. The male is created with an X chromosome that will destroy any other X with which it is paired, leaving only other male progeny with the hosti

If you become the owner of a Pebble watch (I am not), then your perspective may shift. Their curation is thorough, but somewhat biased. Nobody is perfect. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43401245

z/OS 3.1 is certified for UNIX 95, if this list is correct: https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/index2.html That would include a C compiler, but yours is probably on tape somewhere. Linux has been on

UNIX was ported to the System/370 in 1980, but it ran on top of TSS, which I understand was an obscure product. "Most of the design for implementing the UNIX system for System/370 was done in 1979, and coding was completed in

If your goal is to help your coworkers, this is correct. If not, it isn't.

I have some Oracle Pro*C code that is infinitely more pleasant to use when I rewrite it in PHP. I don't think the PHP version has greater entropy than the compiled C.

The -Os flag optimizes for size. What impact does that have?

I would be curious if Intel Clear Linux had similar gains, by using newer opcodes in the instruction set. I wonder if the glibc allocator is standard there. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_Linux_OS

Are the rhel RPM distributions of Firefox considered forks at all? They are maintained for a very long time.

...and to most everybody else. When Firefox misbehaves and claims it owns data from users, Firefox can be forked. Unless Microsoft intends to similarly abuse its users, Edge could be completely opened. I would only ride a fork of Edge shoul

The moment that I see Edge in F-Droid, I will install it. That would require a submission of all of the source code, so I assume this will never happen. I would consider Edge if it showed up in FFUpdater. I don't see it there either.

I haven't seen the film, but I wonder if our pets' reliance upon us as a product of their domestication plays a factor in their requiring and rendering help. I should see it.

IIRC there was "macro32" which could compile VAX machine code to Alpha, and also VEST, which was a virtual machine. I've used neither.

I've never had anything to do with foreign exchange students, but are they absolutely prohibited from work of any kind? If there is ambiguity, then we can't have them here.

This was the later TI 1500 series from Texas Instruments, based on the 68000 family. http://www.home.unix-ag.org/engel/ti/ I think this was the 1300 motherboard. https://theretroweb.com/motherboard

If Tesla were to suddenly score a large government contract, that could keep them afloat. The Postal Service, for example? Any agency facing DOGE cuts would be motivated to buy Tesla.
