   Javascript devs ARE locked up in a shit-stained room covered in trash and detritus from previous occupants, and what's worse: they seem to crave that condition. The only justification for the disaster of modern JS 'development

   Ermm, no. C has its problems, and in many ways has avoided this hell hole by solving them in clever ways, but they are nowhere near equivalent to the burning trash pile that is the modern Javascript developers stack and tooling. If all you&

   I just don't use Javascript, for precisely this reason, ever. Nothing is worth the hassle - no fancy libs to do spacing, or anything. This is not progress - as someone who has been professionally programming for 30+years, this state o

   I too feel the melancholy with regards to massive engineering projects undertaken to provide one thing only: death at scale. Imagine if we'd used these things to bring hospital and water purification supplies to the world, instead of b

   This is the only vehicle, besides a cruising yacht, that I truly desire to own. My dream of journeying the worlds' swamps and river systems with a Sherpa is a tough one to shake. If only they'd made a fusion-powered version, hehe

   Books often are read and finished. I commit to such act before I start, even. But I'll grant that any given set of ideas and concepts and wild fancy in any form of literature, this conglomeration, is truly strengthened by frequent min

   My MacBook Pro suffers the orange blob screen problem - which I was told by an Apple guru upon inspection was only possible as a result of me closing the laptop while the fans were on (i.e. it was hot), and that therefore this is a user fau

    In many projects I have worked on in the last 2 decades, one of the first things I find myself needing to do is fix the name services and setup of .local/.home .. To me it really appears that the skill of naming things starts at the th

    I have an Open Pandora which has pretty much every old gaming console onboard. ;). Maybe you can find one - they're amazing machines, or .. get a Pyra, which is an update of the concept by the same folks. https://openpandora

    I have an OP-1 and a ton of other synths - its a very handy thing to throw in the bag and take to jam sessions, but beyond that - definitely overpriced. I get just as much fun from an Axoloti synth, with far more power... of course, I had t

    I think its more that the German intelligence services are not liable to the German sovereign, but are rather still 'occupied' by the USA's own military/intelligence agencies.

    .. so, please correct me if I'm wrong, but this leaves open a loophole for the CIA/NSA monitoring stations within Germany - which are not possessions of the sovereign government - to continue to spy on anyone they like, as the Ger

    The only way to ensure that happens is for the civilians to bother the spy agencies - i.e. civilian journalism with reveals the criminal activities of the spy agencies. And we all know how well that approach is doing lately.

    The way they get around it: the CIA bases in Germany are allowed to spy, since they are not sovereign German territory. And, since the BND answers to the CIA, sharing of information will be up to the CIA, according to the national interest
