So much more funding now. That will getting it working twenty years from now, just like it has been 'working twenty years from now' for the last fifty years.

The vacuum may pull the shutters against seals during the regen. So the shutters would move freely with the vacuum off, then seal tightly during the dry cycle. You would need filtration to protect the seals, but compliant seals assisted by

The ageism in the reply makes me bristle as well. A little past 65 here. Currently employed at my third startup gig in my thirty eight year embedded systems career. Ignorance spans all age levels.

True acts of random kindness are rare only because most people aren't in need of random help that often. There is a wide range of things that would fall under the umbrella of 'just being polite' that are more expected social

My wife and I donate cash to the local food bank. Cash is actually more useful to them than food donations. Occasionally they have particular drives, generally for laundry and cleaning supplies. Those we buy outright.

When I was young, and broke, an old guy bought my lunch one day when I was traveling. He left before I even got the bill, but the waitress told me he was a regular, and he left a simple note. And the note said something along the lines of &

This is one of those rare replies where I wish I could just dance away at the upvote. But I can't, so I'll leave this note instead. Thank you.

Having started my career at Bell Labs in 1984, the fact that you included AT&T X86 syntax cracked me up. If you are still interested in learning more, ARM and PowerPC are also both interesting assembly targets. Prior to Bell Labs (colle

Amen. I posted similar in a shorter form. The ineffectual legislative branch has ceded power to both the Executive and the Judicial over the last fifty to sixty years. Until the legislative branch stands up, this won't be resolved.

If your representatives in Congress would get off their butts and actually legislate, the court's "view" on the topic would be moot. The fact is, lazy hand wringing house and senate members have been dodging these issues (mor

I read the entire mediocre post. I need to take a dump now. Luckily, my toilets both flush, so I can choose whichever is most convenient. Right now I wish I had a third one in the basement, but that would require a pump, which would likely

We have those in NJ now. They are very cool. The printed ballot is presented to the voter, protected under glass, to verify that it is correct. It is then swallowed by the machine and the vote registered. Very clear printed text. No hanging

The historic problem of just 'drop it in the ocean' is that (so far) it almost always comes back to bite you. Hence the thousands of rusting barrels of DDT off the coast of California. https://www.latimes.com/envir

This made me laugh. Back in the late 1970s, there was suspicion that the Soviet Union a had completely tapped the AT&T phone network on the East coast. I cannot remember the author of the article, but they stated that every American hav

The only time the HR department has been a great help for me was in a layoff situation. I was part of a general 20% cut a few years ago, and the layoffs were staggered over six tranches spread over four months. Why the spread? To avoid repo
