   You may know this but originally they were 'correct' because the start of the year was March.

   Same argument applies. Driving slowly for 1km 0.01 under the speed limit, over legal blood alco limit is safer than driving at the speed limit for 10kms just under the alco limit. It's very easy to come up with thought experiments to

   There's a sort of prisoner's dilemma. If you make a fuss you'll get branded as anti-progress and sidelined. If you put your head down and just do what you're told you're a team player and will probably survive. As

    You don't need a robot arm, just mimic a usb keyboard. https://pikvm.org/ and similar exist. This is maybe not as good as the article solution, because it requires you to secure the pi too.

    Regarding 2, I believe that talking on mobile phones drives older people crazy. They remember talking on normal land lines when there was almost no latency at all. The thing is -- they don't know why they don't like it.

    I've done some Uber driving. Chatting in a car is great because there's no awkwardness of whether to look at one another. I've met some really interesting people, from all backgrounds. I can recommend it if you have time t

    A gotcha for me originally and perhaps others is that while using ordering like $ ./outerr >blah 2>&1 sends stdout and stderr to blah, imitating the order with pipe instead does not. $ ./outerr | 2>&amp

    Yep, there's a strong unifying feel between the Unix api, C, the shell, and also say Perl. Which is lost when using more modern or languages foreign to Unix.

    Actually closer to π and matches the more sensible date format. (Yes this is worth fighting over!)

    I've not listened to that song much at all. I am however obsessed with Machine Gun which has all those elements and more. Maybe I'll have a re-listen to SSB.

    Speculation 1. The bicameral mind was created as a result. Speculation 2. The earliest creatures with two eyes may have been conjoined twins -- which were more successful in life than their single-celled/bodied siblings.

    I was looking for that too. I'm sure I've read that single cell animals were sensitive to light (and/or heat). I guess it's a speculation though, because we'd have no physical evidence.

    Yeh, if your other car was not already at the car wash, why would you even ask the question?
