Damn, c is too big for traveling with compressed enough time for cheap, yet too small to make communication within the earth be pretty much instantaneous (like getting 1ms roundtrip latency everywhere).

As a kid I trained myself to keep track of time through using the 15m beep on my Casio watch. Eventually I was quite accurate on the current time, rarely missing by more than a minute, but at some point it felt like it wasn't really he

On one hand, exactly, anything that's grabbed from the distro is actually an issue to reproducibility, but I guess it also means there could be some shim to make installing things easier (assuming `apt/pacman/whatever install

And how do you calibrate a microphone? With a calibrated speaker? :P I'm guessing that there must be a way to either cancel out skews and work around this, but I guess it's just easier to start with a calibrated microphone

Isn't this more efficient? Cheaper parts, everyone benefits from improvements to it. I wouldn't mind if there were only a handful of designs around with some tweaks depending on performance/comfort. Also, nowadays many differ

I'm angry that I guessed right. I really don't like how flat the model for text generally is. I don't see text as a [Char], so if the computer does there's a hidden mismatch that people have grown to work around and with

This is neat, although I pushed it later with incremental search and it seems to be skipping results as it only found ~50 when searching for `-000000000000`.

It could be verified at runtime, but I haven't seen anyone trying to version/hash schemas and include that in the request. The workaround in practice seems to be to keep the DB behind a server that always™ uses a compatible schema

Weird, one would expect that in anything related to technology either prices go down, or performance goes up over time.

It must be that by running any program within the nix build sandbox you don't expose your files unless you discover a privilege escalation attack by chance during the reduction process.

In my mind the abstraction should allow for RPCs and being on the same machine should allow to optimise things a bit, this way you simply build for the general case and lose little to no performance. Think of the loopback, my programs don&#

Coal and Asbestos are natural too, the point is that "natural" there is a greenwashing term as it's quite polluting and not the best energy source out there considering global warming.
