There kind of is: the computers the "p" run don't allow incoming connections and don't allow long lived processes.

Somehow all this was done seemingly deliberately, as some MBA new hire project at a BigCo. Like how Google kills off half their useful services because nobody in the C suite knows what they're for. Also, they (the Callahan government)

Meta-answer: whenever you ask a question "why...<crazy thing> is done in the US", the answer will turn out to be "something something slavery" or the related "something something racism".

At first I thought you meant bacon. But then remembered decent bacon like from Denmark is illegal in the US. Then I realized what you mean. But Lilly makes the same drug so probably not a practical issue.

Until I read this I did not know that 1970s microprocessors had register renaming. Feel a little cheated, thinking for all those years that they were actually moving the bits.

A racoon is the reason my cats live behind a flap/door controlled by an rfid reader. Prior to its deployment the racoon had learned to squeeze through the door then figured out how to open the latch on the food bin (quite difficult for

This cow picked up the stick (broom) and wielded it clenched within her teeth. Quite different than rubbing against a static object.

Wrong. Never actually acts against Putin interests. Blusters a bit, for sure, but never acts.

Oh dear. There is zero chance there was anything resembling this sort of semi-plausible logic behind the tarrifs. What you said above is sane washing invented by people who operate on logic, trying to find some reason-based logic. No such l

The Americans visiting Europe are a sample very skewed towards sanity due to their socioeconomic situation and interest in history/culture. So this is either not true or highly troubling.

It was always very hard to make money directly from open source. The Tailwind thing (incident??) was only notable in terms of its publicity. The fact that they thought they could make money from code the customer doesn't have to pay fo

You can Google search "em-dash" then copy/paste from the resulting page.

I didn't know these fancy dashes existed until I read Knuth's first book on typesetting. So probably 1984. Since then I've used them whenever appropriate.

Edinburgh has a similar concept: the "Binns Clock". Although Binns no longer exists, the clock is still there.

That's not how these drugs work. Think of it in terms of there being a programmable neural network in the gut (and associated brain I/O areas). This network is designed to get the animal to eat appropriately. But food makers figur

Full sized dogs can kill and eat a human. Full sized sand cat (or whatever they began as) can't eat a human. It's another domestication filter: "can't be able to easily eat a human". Years ago I was walking along th

One of the few benefits of widespread gun ownership in the USA: overt antisocial behavior is less common.
