The world will always need software engineers. If it is your passion, you can make it your career and improve the world that way. If law is your passion, you can do much the same in that field. They are both important fields and respectable

Possibly; this assumes that our current calendar's epoch holds, that humanity is still around, that computing systems are still around, and legacy software from 8,000 years past is still kicking people in the butt. Given that electroni

Connecting 1 mile to 5280 feet happened many centuries after the medieval period. Such precision wasn't really possible nor desired before the 18th century. To be specific, 5280 feet = 1 mile didn't happen until 1959 and the Unite

GRUB2 combined with GPT made this whole thing way better. You make a partition with a certain type (0xef02 in gdisk's shortened codes) and that's where the GRUB stage2 code goes; the stage1 finds the partition and loads it. It cer

Dangerous for all parties involved. Being out in the open with no safety belt, no crumple zones, a bicyclist can be easily killed in an accident. Drivers attempting to swerve out of the way can cause a greater accident with other vehicles,

Being drunk on a bike is probably even more dangerous than drunk driving a car. Unfortunately, one doesn't need a license to use public roads with a bicycle.

The only entity to start a litigation cycle is Oracle, and they've either been uninterested or know they can't win. Canonical is the only entity they have any chance of going after; Canonical's lawyers already decided there w

Or you include a base64-encoded version of the image. Doing it in-line in HTML should work; I believe <img> tags can also reference an email attachment containing the image (email attachments are base64-encoded anyway...).

There's an account setting somewhere to always send plain text emails and do not send HTML. I don't know where the setting is, I enabled it many years ago. Been happy with that.

It's the rationale behind the XDG directories, nonetheless. The "ideal" setup is to have ~/.config on the remote NFS server, ~/.local on the local workstation, and ~/.cache on the local workstation (either disk

I think it only appears "polluted" if you keep listing with "ls -A" all the time. If you don't list hidden files, you don't have a real problem. Besides, if you think that's polluted, then pushing it off t

I think Nix and Guix have carried on similar concepts to Gobo in a much more elegant fashion (especially by not requiring the kernel to be patched...).

The XDG config/data spec was made to manage systems that mount over NFS; ~/.local would stay on the local workstation, ~/.cache matters so little it could be on tmpfs, and ~/.config is the permanent romaing storage (and

Is it really contentious that Israel is in the middle east? When the issue of whether Turkey is in Europe or the middle east is contentious enough, I'd think Israel would be a no-brainer "of course it's middle east" It&#
