Could just as well be Charlemagne. But it appears its author is called Karl, which is simply the German form of Charles.

> If there is any kind of conflict, you are making code changes in the merge commit itself to resolve it. I don't get it. If you rebase, you get 20 chances to do the same.

Still seems unnecessarily condescending, but I've been guilty of that often enough that I am not going to hold that against you.

Pretty sad that you feel the need to rub salt into a wound.

In the longer term Mars should probably have its own time scale. When we get to further colonization maybe we can use TAI for interplanetary use (but time dilation due to relativity effects is going to be a problem when going to other stars

We have summer and winter time because that turns out to be easier than changing business hours. But I was just talking about UTC really.

Are we actually compensating for continental drift of the area around London already?

Libraries are already available. See https://cr.yp.to/time.html and the pages linked from there.

The thing is that there will be entire Java-like ecosystems that will have shorter longevity than the time between leaps. So practically all of them will have no facility for a leap at all.

From 2035 it's going to be less accurate in exactly the same way. I'd argue bombcar's method is more robust. I don't know of anything that actually requires UTC to be within 1 second of average rotation-based time; hav

There is a link below the video to a Wikipedia article with similar ferries all over the world.

Same as the article says to use in Europe. Probably an EU rule that carried over.

At least the Netherlands is phasing out 2G and 3G, although you can still use them until 2025 depending on your provider. I suppose this is the same in at least several other European countries.

I'm not sure how you deduced that I'm actually a vi user, but it's interesting to see that vim has similar support but using separate linear undo and redo commands g- and g+ . undo-persistance and undofile seem to be orthogon

And it is exactly why I find Emacs undo so hard to work with. But maybe I will get it now I've read this article.

At least MMDF was (a little) earlier. Maybe it lacked some features compared to sendmail? It ran at several university sites at least. It was an early adopter of least-privilege architecture, predating qmail by a lot.

by gpvos 4y ago
There are many more people who dislike sendmail than people who like it. It's like several orders of magnitude. And it's objectively hard to configure securely. Sorry. If you want to keep using it, nothing is stopping you, but the

Indeed. Intelligent alien life is likely to have evolved out of other forms of life, so concepts as competition, survival, cooperation, are likely to be innate somehow (not necessarily in a conscious way). AI does not need to share that bas

A similar, larger telescope[0] was put into service in China in 2016. There are a few things Arecibo could do that it can't (receiving frequencies above 3 GHz, transmitting), but in other areas it's better. So on the whole I can s

You can always still publish when they don't react within a reasonable time, and add a comment to that effect, as you can often see in newspaper articles.

Reading the descriptions under the sibling comment, it seems to be something that every airline absolutely should offer their employees. You don't want them to work illegally as that could mean huge fines for you.

If he had named the video "Implementing protected mode for Z80 with minimal extra circuitry", I think it would have gained just as many views - maybe not as fast though.
