Public transport used to be huge in the US, it was killed by big car, which means it can be revived by other big industry.

I've always thought that the fastest to achieve scenario would be: human driver drives truck to the first rest area on the highway, gets out and lets the autopilot do the rest. Vice versa when exiting the highway. You'll need some

This is "printing instead of doing an action". That is not the same as debugging. Also, lightweight printf debugging is often more appropriate than using an unwieldy debugger.

Too backwards incompatible maybe, although you could add a check on whether the output is a tty, like ls does; I don't know how often ldd is used in scripts.

It's not general knowledge among people who only sometimes drop down to root (such as me). Although it is mentioned in an early paragraph of the man page, it's easy to miss. It could use an attention-drawing "IMPORTANT SECURI

When some language construct is being taught as "incorrect", it often means that it's actually a natural part of the language (or maybe of a dialect) that is deemed to be wrong by so-called experts. Modern linguists are more

It is quite clear from the etymologies that both words already existed for aeons in English and its ancestors. So there is absolutely no corruption going on "in the first place". What is, however, possible is that their similari

The modern German cognates are wider (against) and wieder (again, back), the common ancestor word being withra. The English Wiktionary is a great etymological dictionary.

In Dutch (which is in some ways "in between" German and English, but usually closer to German), "vechten met" can indicate either opposition or parallelness.

by gpvos 3y ago
Not really. It's not so hard to follow the etymology sections in Wiktionary. A few clicks down you find: with: from Proto-Indo-European *wi-tero-s, from *wi ("apart") +‎ *-teros mid: from Proto-Indo-European *meth₂,

In the context of TFA, debris seems more appropriate? Anyway I was just sharing something I quickly looked up, and this was the first meaning that made sense.

If it would really come down to it, the West (i.e., basically the USA) would be able to stop Israel oppressing the Palestinians. So that is political. They can't do that in China (without triggering a nuclear war). I don't know ab

Again, those checks might be negligible, but aren't nothing. The JPEG check looks like one extra check in existing code, so that's truly almost nothing, but the PNG check introduced an extra parsing step of the file.

Both my FP1 and FP2 broke down physically way before OS support ran out. I hope my current refurbished FP3 will last a little longer. Monthly security updates? Ha! I had no idea those were a thing until I switched to DivestOS for a while. F

I've used DivestOS on my FP3+ and was pretty happy with it until I needed to use an app that crashed if no Google Play Services were present. I'll probably return to it soon now I don't need that app anymore.
