It might have been true by the 1990s due to gcc and even then it was grossly exaggerated by folks that led us to GObject

It made me nostalgic, my (static) webpage was like/~that in 1995 or so.

If people didn't raise the "selling drugz" thing every time. Selling drugs should not be a crime anyway. I don't like crypto currencies (and coffee is my drug of choice), but saying "drugs are bad mmkay" and &q

Every keyboard (or at least an AVR-based DIY open-source mechanical keyboard) is an 8-bit computer. Toyed many times with the idea of adding a display to a keyboard I assembled.

I see myself as a generalist (a guy called me “wideband” once, found it very descriptive). I have heard so many times that I am on the wrong, and so many times I am the right, that I stopped worrying. It is like the old question whether egg

IMHO it didn't fail. The internet "failed", becoming something much more centralized and oligopoly-like. In my area, IRC servers were maintained by local ISP administrators plus some help of local volunteers. As local, dial-u

I prefer low prices, every time I see an ad like "Save $x" or "From $x to $y" I feel someone was ripped off. But most people may really like the "bargains". Even my wife. I like to tease her "from 3000 to

Happened with me once and my kid was 8 or 9 already. 10 seconds not looking and he was already drowning on the deep part of the pool (where he was told not to go).

Did something similar but employed a Fibonacci sequence, using the hour as the unit (but could be a minute, or a second), to groom a collection of snapshots maintaining a sensible timeline: https://epxx.co/logbook/entri

The solution is to spread this virus as fast as possible. Everybody gets infected, develops immunity, problem solved.

Had an uncle that died at home and the family suffered a lot more than if he went to the hospital. Changed my mind about this topic. My plan if I get a terminal illness is to put the paperwork in order and disappear into the forest or sail

Are you in such an arrangement, to be able to tell that? If so, can you detail the benefits? Let's see if our impressions overlap in any degree.

Do something that directly benefits you AND fulfills a cultural expectation is not exactly being open-minded.

+1. These days, if someone tries to steer me into some sort of polarized political discussion, I give my hourly rate and ask to be paid upfront.

I have been using btrfs in my "NAS"/personal server for 3 years, changed disk configuration a couple times, I do snapshots every hour and prune them using a Fibonacci-like timeline, no problems yet.

A bathroom is one of the few places you can have total privacy. A second place is the car when you are driving alone.

People are so politically polarized these days, I feel it is a waste of time trying to argue.

This is exactly the story Greenwald is selling, which I disagree with in many points.

I don't think this will go far, for Greenwald. He didn't invade the Telegram accounts; other people did, yet another people used (and propably paid for) the service, one of them is a hard-left politician that happens to be Greenwa

And the zodiac signs are also divided in 4 groups (air, fire, earth, water) so it seems the idea of dividing people in 4 quadrants is pretty old.

It is a BIG overhead. I have lived in such a situation, so as far as first-hand experience is worth... I am allergic to any defense or downplay of inflation because there is a lot of people here that see "advantages" in it. Mostly

It was essentially a tax on paper money. Most transactions were conducted over an indexed value, there were many at the time: ORTN, OTN, URV was the last one for the transition to the current coin. And yes, lots of US$ 100 bill stacks, when
