When I was a child, I read a good book, called “(An Usborne Introduction) Electronics”. Might be worth having a read.

Just logged in, to add another recommendation for this book. There are errors, but they’re not that hard to spot, if one’s paying attention, when reading. Definitely read this, before the Art Of Electronics, if you’re just starting out!

There are many good reasons for leaving the EU. The fact is, the remain side are not remotely interested in knowing the whys, and wherefores, of the leave side. It’s plainly evident, from the disingenuous line(s) of “questioning”.

Sorry, I completely disagree with practically everything you wrote above. There’s nothing complicated, oblique, or arcane, about short options - if one is versed in Unix. Usually, the sentiment you’ve expressed, comes from the mouthes of

Why not just include libudev, in systemd instead?

> Not sure why you're saying that -- moving it to a library is basically what happened. The libudev code got moved to libsystemd, and now libudev is a wrapper around that. Oh, so now one has to include "libsystemd" if one

No, credit card is fine. I did raise an issue via Twitter, at the launch of the Pinebook Pro, but no response.

I go through several "suckless" type IRC clients - currently my own patched version of: https://c9x.me/irc/ - which is nice and simple.

You're right. The linked page, is just Chapter 2 of Starting Forth.

I was unable to buy one, due to the organisations insistence on using paypal as a payment processor - and having been "banned" from using paypal, for refusing to send "identity documents". Unless that situation has chang

It goes to show, how few people are able to think for themselves. The question originally asked, is "how to match HTML tags". Not how to parse. Not how to scrape. Simply "match". To which I would say, regex is perfectly

I once looked into purchasing pure ethanol, for the production of a topical liniment for martial artists. The duty to be paid per litre is eye wateringly high, to the point that it constitutes almost the vast majority of the cost. I came aw

This will only create a black market of booze. Brewing, and distilling alcohol, is a fairly easy endeavour. Policies like you've suggested, are why illicit moonshine and poitin exist.

I'm not interested in donations, but I might have a go at this in a few months, if I get the time - as I'm a regular user of Signal, but I refuse to use Electron apps. Can't promise anything though.

Yes, I also agree, and would argue that it applies more to "the cloud" groupthink, than it does to the election riot, or Parler. After all, the Trump/Parler supporters, can hardly be claimed as self selecting balkanisation, w
