Most likely, yes. The author mentions vixie-cron, which was the name of the project before Paul Pixie joined/founded(?) ISC, and it was released as ISC from after. Debian's fork is still based on vixie-cron, but it couldn't h

This was worked around ages ago in OpenBSD, and the workaround was already included in Debian (and by extension, Ubuntu) when I started maintaining it in 2010 (I no longer do). Here's a link to a patch [1] from a version from when the

There is precedent: SpaceShipOne was successfully launched from an airplane [1]. The great force downward is (mostly) irrelevant if there is nothing below. Just hang the rocket between two towers over a void, with the atmosphere below. [1]:

I don't know if these are comparable. But two interesting data points from the Wikipedia article I linked are that the first aircraft certification for ILS Cat III was in 1968, and Cat IIIB in 1975. And IIRC by the 1980s, autoland was

> PayPal never did seek a banking license, arguing that it wasn’t actually accepting any deposits [...] That worked in the U.S. European banking regulators saw through this ploy and forced them to seek a banking license.

This is a bit misleading as the decline reported is year-on-year and of course sales haven't fully recovered yet. Quarter-on-quarter or month-by-month would have been much more interesting, could have shown a change in trend. Especiall

Oh this is neat. Took me a bit. The shell treats the first line as a comment. It executes the second line, which eventually exec's the binary so the rest of the file do not matter to the shell. And the compiler treats the first line as

This. And often it's not an unhelpful upstream, just an upstream that sees little use for man pages in their releases, and doesn't want to spend time maintaining documentation in parallel to what their README.md or --help provides

You keep pointing out European involvement as if that somehow displaced American involvement (and thus continued U.S. control, the subject of this thread). Again, your first quote explicitly states that EUV-LLC was American. The second quot
