It depends on who "we" is. This sort of endorsement will likely speed adoption in larger organizations.

So the lesson to learn from all of this is "stuff your money under your mattress otherwise it's not safe"? What a brave new world crypto is bringing us.

It's a new OS designed from the ground up for the Commodore 64 by Gregorio Naçu [1]. A video does it more justice [2]. There's an active Discord as well. [1] https://twitter.com/gregnacu [2] https://hac

I think we have enough experience with crowd-sourced websites at this point (Wikipedia, Reddit, SO) that we can make a general statement that crowd-sourced websites attract just the sort of people you've described precisely because the

That can cut both ways, though. Some professors simply aren't good at teaching.

Growing up in the early-80's, my parents were diehard Zenith customers. "They make the best TVs" was something I heard often from them. I was just a young boy, but a few things stand out in retrospect: 1) Zenith was likely a

C++ is like the English language. Extraordinarily popular, hard to learn, and full of weird cruft. You can write amazing things in it as well as terribly unsafe garbage.

A similar project has been created to make a ULA-less ZX Spectrum 128K: https://github.com/DonSuperfo/Superfo-Harlequin-128 There are a number of 48K clones as well.

I agree. Especially when you don't really know how something is going to work. So many times when I'm working on a hard problem, coding out half a solution makes the rest of it naturally fall out (or show that I was completely wro

F# has the entire .NET library available, so that won't be an issue.

I was at UIUC shortly after he graduated and the general impression was that he basically just stole Mosaic from the University to create Netscape. Not sure that bestows him with any tech legitimacy. He's certainly a good businessman.

That definition would literally encompass all political violence.

I'm of the belief that the Jan 6th attack on the Capitol was a very serious thing and went beyond "mob violence," but I don't believe it was a terrorist attack. ("Attempted coup", etc. may be more appropriate)

I agree. I actually have a pretty strong understanding of regexes and use them regularly (for editing, not so much in code), but I despise how every editor/language does them subtly different.

The only feeling I've gotten looking at a man page is, "well, I don't have to time to dig through all of this. Guess I'll just look at stack overflow which will have my exact use case and required parameters."

As I said, I may have ADHD as I have a lot of the classic symptoms, but I have a daughter with diagnosed ADHD and I do not have nearly as significant symptoms as she does. All I know is cutting caffeine improved my general concentration a

You might be able to get away with a cup of tea every once in a while, but I tend to be an "in for a penny in for a pound" type of person, so it's complete elimination or 4-5 cups of coffee for me.

No, it's complete. I was drinking 4-5 cups of coffee a day and my brain was a cluttered mess. Now it's just mildly cluttered.

As someone with serious concentration issues (unless I'm hyperfocused, I may have undiagnosed ADHD) I found the biggest help for me was cutting out caffeine.

Not the OP, but I'm in the US and.. it's complicated. I would say, in general, meats like lamb and, especially, veal have fallen out of favor due to the perceived poor conditions and youth of the animals. Rabbit isn't common

Maybe it's just me getting older, but running a successful small business that pays the bills and supports my family into retirement is what I would consider the paradigm of success for my life. Congrats on your business.

I've since bought Sichuan peppercorns from a local Asian grocery store and made my own oil and have gotten a good effect.

I only recently became aware of the Sichuan "pepper" or at least its effects. Maybe I had somehow managed to never get it in large enough quantities to notice (I have certainly eaten Sichuan/Szechuan food many times in my lif
