I don't think there is any reliable source in this war, so the best thing to do is try to read from all sides. I'll take a look at them. Thanks.

Who would you consider reliable news sources for this war? Honest question. AFAIK The USA governement has proven unreliable, even more so than Iran. USA news sources are owned by the same oligarchs owning the governement. Other western so

I recently switched to Lutris, so my son can install games without me. It just works. Great stuff.

I've been wondering if a linux GUI applucation can be made by compiling wine libraries into a linux ELF executable, skipping the EXE format. Do I still need the wine supporting extra processes or is this shippable?

We're looking for a new car. I'd love to go electrical, but there are a few problems: 1) I have no garage and no parking space next to my home. I can't charge it. 2) We have no trustworthy garage for repairs. It turns out

I wonder if it is possible to double all token types . One token is secure, the other is not. The user input is always tokenized to insecure variants. You kinda get a secret language for prompts. Of course, new token kinds are not cheap

From that page: grow your business by creating ongoing revenue streams a.k.a they sell your customers' eyeballs. I don't want these creeps near my tv, european or not.

I feel the basic premise here is wrong. People do not choose C++ because of trust(ing they cannot back themselves in a corner). Main reasons are more: Our people know it, our vendors support it, our libraries use it, our workflow is built

When a computer crashed, cd audio continued to play. My PC just kept playing trough a hard reset/reboot, in fact. It would only stop playing when DOS booted far enough that it loaded mscdex, a step I could skip with a startup menu. I

This reconceptualized the article as victim blaming. Spot on.

I see a group of countries trying to work together. As this is a massive coordination effort and the participants all want different things, it can only go slow. As with every governmental entity, there probably is some waste. But the alt

Seconded. My 9 year old son has in his life worked with Android and Debian at home, and iPad at school. There is 1 game I could not get to run under wine (beltmatic), but apart from that everything works. I was a bit scared about his sch

In the book The Cuckoo's egg, Cliff Stoll talks to I think Luiz Alvares. I don't have the book handy here, but Alvarez basically told him to nit get distracted by grants, bosses, ... Here is interesting science to do, so go for i

I've always thought the opposite: IP law was created to make sure creativity stays hard, and hence controllable by the elites. Patents came along when farmers started making city goods, threatening guilds secrets. Copyright came when

There is also the signalling when a new, truly meaningless fragment pops up. The bigwig says it first, then his direct reports, then their underlings, etc. So by using such a phrase, underlings signal both how close they are to bigwigs by

Someone mentioned how they had to go to America for the job, and everyone worried for his safety. His answer: Don't worry, it is South America. Everyone felt better for him, then we all wondered how 1 year could cause such a flip.

Thanks. I learned something. Also the fact that it only worked on NTSC, so people from the EU like me simply never saw the nicer variant

I'd add Al Jazeera to decent media. They are heavily skewed about the middle east, and readonably neutral/disinterested for the rest of the world. As a non muslim EU inhabitant, they tend to open the window where our media stay s

Part of it was the video mode. EGA 640x350x16 had 16 simultanous colors, from a palette of 64 possibilities. And non square pixels as a bonus. They might have made better choices from the palette, but the limitations were severe. If you re

This jumps out for me: ... concerns about security vulnerabilities on aging hardware ... That's the cost of shoddy engineering. A security fix is basically a recall in any other branch of industry. We've gotten so good

That's not how I am reading this. Here, the reaction seems mostly that Europe doesn't want to touch this mess. Which is weird, as Iran was clearly on our list of bad countries and Israel can do nothing wrong. Local news publishe

This perfectly demonstrates the point: Before James Watt came along, neither had the English. Steam was unreliable, broke down a lot, killed people, and was only tolerated because it was the only game in town. This bothered society, so mon

I live near part of the WW1 trenches. Most mines, bombs, etc. have been removed for decades now. Still, there are patches where the ground is so polluted with e.g. lead that nothing would grow. We tend to use that ground for companies a
