How dare you! /sarcasm I remember finding an unmaintained Gentoo box in a corporate environment at a client's server room. It hadn't been updated for an indeterminate period of time and was running normally. However, it was

I posted a bit about what I did above, but I don't think I am a good person to learn from. Every single bit of my trip to now seems to be predicated on divine intervention or unbelievable luck, depending on what you believe. One thing

In my case I didn't blog about my personal life; I was living in Tokyo at the time and wrote a blog about seeing people at (Japanese large company) rebuilding everything from scratch and serious cases of NIH. It hit Hacker News and Sl

Pre-Corona-destabilization, and pre-Trump, I wouldn't agree with you, but I do now; especially since we are in the middle of the Opioid crisis. The government can and will seize patents at will. Only a handful of people need to be &qu

Absolutely my feeling as well. I bought the Bluray off of Ebay recently and watched with my wife. English is not her first language and she was concerned but I told her it was a very rare case where the spectacle is worth the watch. After

Just to mirror what the other comment said, the MRNA vaccines were not so great at warding off symptomatic Covid; I'm curious how hospitalizations went w/ people who used Sinovac and the other Chinese vaccines. I mean, if they rea

The hostility towards children is a real thing you can see today. I saw it first hand in Japan; parks had signs with dozens of prohibitions, while news stories about this phenomena inevitably had an 80 year old complaining that there were

I was a child in the 80s as well; the idea that we spent a lot of time outside does not jive with my memories. I had the same dump truck as in the article, but this did not inspire me to go out and explore the neighborhood alone. Other tha

If you read it, or had first hand information, it would be easy to share meaningful details about what, exactly, is wrong, instead of vague pandering that seem to be generated by a language model. Even this response reads like a response fr

Just wait until you find out how restaurants treat their employees. Or how grocery stores do. Or farms for that matter. The plight of well paid IT employees is not at the top of the list of reasonable concerns.

The gotcha / sneering style harms something I otherwise agree with. For example, Ashwagandha is something I've been putting into daal curry for years; it has been a part of Indian cuisine forever. Not that you'd know by the
