As an adult I've discovered the joys of RPN for calculators. I use free42/plus42 on my phone which is an opensource simulator of the HP42. My kids havent started using calculators yet, but I'm debating whether it's a g

I'm so sorry to hear that. Hope you and the family are ok or as ok as you can be. The numbers are unfathomable and unacceptable.

I this attitude a lot, especially from Americans. A 'well if you change this to help A, this other thing B will get worse'. All while the US is at the bottom of list for both A and B.

I guess if that data can be easily represented as plain text then git would work ok?

One of the fields I work in is science, and I'd say that 'selling-out' and 'promoting yourself' have always been two different things here, but it has seen similar cultural shifts as others have talked about. Self-p

How hard would it be to stabilise that API? My line of thinking is : sure maintaining a fork of the Linux kernel would be a huge amount of work, but would it be less than writing a new one and then maintaining that?
247.
by dm319 4y ago
If the issue is just a stable ABI, why not just fork linux and maintain a stable ABI?
248.
by dm319 4y ago
It seems drastic to me to conceive of an entire new kernel and OS just to resolve this issue and keep a stable ABI.
249.
by dm319 4y ago
How about just fork Linux, and then they can keep it ABI compatible all they like?

Is that right? I didn't understand the technical reasoning behind Fucshia, but I understand there was always some disappointment that Linux took off the way it did when it was more of copy of unix rather than an evolution. Having sai

I haven't been offering my judgement or opinion to or on my neighbours. My judgement is on the device, and to be honest, I might well have installed one of these devices without realising how it may make others feel. The story about t

I guess it depends where you live and what experiences you've had so far. Your 'pre-test' probability I guess. I doubt there is much I would see on a video feed that would stop me finding out for myself who they are.

I wasn't asking for your opinion or your judgement.

Seeing a cat pass on a video feed is unlikely to tell you where your cat is.
255.
by dm319 4y ago
Because when you can hear that people are clearly in, and you know yourv video feed is available to them, and no one answers the door after waiting and ringing twice, it's a reasonable conclusion. Especially when this seems to be a fe

I'm not a computer scientist, but can someone explain to me how this can be a computer without all the other bits you normally associate with it other than the CPU. I.e. a chip for interfaces, the mmu/fpu (I don't understand

Thank you, my cat mysteriously returned one day :) It was a weird experience, and I don't even look 'weird' (at least as far as I'm aware!).

How do you judge how suspicious someone is through a video feed?

I live in a big metropolis (Birmingham, UK), and have had no issues, The place I had it worst was when I lived in a cute 17th century village in the Oxford countryside. Had several packages stolen in the year I lived there.

I am also no fan of Ring or similar, though the reasons are slightly different. We lost our cat recently, and I went round my neighbourhood knocking/ringing on every door to ask around. It was a strange experience as around 30% had th

Sure metabolic syndrome is a thing, but can you point to me evidence it is caused by these drinks? I agree re: the metabolic pathways, but yet to be convinced that most of these issues are not primarily caused by obesity. And sure, drinkin

In much the same way not all suicides have a diagnosable underlying mental health disorder, not all acts of aggression have a diagnosable mental health condition. Of those that do, only a proportion will respond to treatment. Perfect menta

Why do people think that every mental health condition can be treated successfully? Why do people think that every bad thing someone does is due to a mental health condition?

That period I stopped recommending linux to friends as I felt burned by the experience of losing gnome 2. I remember going from ubuntu 10.04 beyond support, to xfce, gnome fallback, gnome flashback, linux mint cinnamon, crunchbang (stayed

There was a several year hiatus between end of gnome 2 and beginning of mate, and even longer (a year or two) before mate was solid. During this time I remember a lot of attempts at gnome 2 replacement (fallback, flashback etc) and people

I've been using MATE for several years now. It's very solid and they've improved and modernised it nicely since gnome 2 times.

I remember this was standard back in the day, and I think the time period was even shorter. Think it happened to me on Hotmail at 3 months.
