One important thing not mentioned. English has no genders except in extremely rare cases. Other Indo-European languages are full of genders, like female tables, male autos, etc. Trying to learn Spanish in high school, it was genders that

Yes, but NYC is nor the only city that need climate change mitigations :) Factor in all other cities, how will that get paid and by how ? Or do we chose which cites to save ? Other cities, tough to be you.

>I've only ever heard the claim that climate change is civilization ending as a strawman from so-called climate skeptics Did you see what happened in Europe with a rather small mass migration 10/15 years ago due to Arab Spring

And how will these engineered workarounds be paid for ? It is known workarounds will cost trillions today, NYC alone could cost $1T+. And these workarounds should have been started 5 years ago when it became very clear we will never get o

Yes, I have been using https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite for searching in Dillo. Once in a while you may get a captcha from DDG that is far better that any other captcha I have ever seen. The captcha is easy to use and can

And dillo still works great on NetBSD :) I think it is becoming more important to i386 BSD, especially since i386 OpenBSD can no longer build Firefox, Seamonkey and IIRC Chrome on i386 systems. I have been using dillo more and more as time

To me, Palantir is a very risky investment, I think on the line with junk stock. I do not know if it will continue after the mid-terms, and after 2028, it could be gone. At least Nvidia makes something real instead of hot wind, so I doubt

I do not blame them for doing this. And if they move over to LibreOffice and a distro like SUSE replacing Microsoft products, they will eventually see support costs decreasing a lot. Cloud, I do not know if that will reduce costs, but at l

One thing I really miss with flash drives, a write protect switch. Yes, I can mount 'ro', but many (all?) Linux Desktops mount the drive write through its GUI. I have aliases for mounting and never used the pointy-clicky mount in

Lets hope not, if so, here is a theoretical scenario: A person wants someone dead, so they hack into the system or hires someone to do so. Person is hit and dies. The heirs sue say "Waymo", but since death is "accepted&quot

My fear with IBM and AI, Linux could go down this path. I remember seeing KDE and GNOME already have their "stores", we need to keep a close eye on Linux.

The last few years or so, its activity seemed to have increased quite a bit, or maybe they are getting more press then they have had in many years :) FWIW, this is the first time I have ever seen any mention of donations on any major tech W

Same here. But one other thing to add for new responses about "Why NetBSD", the rump kernel. Years ago I had to get a very old document off of a DOS diskette. So I tried: * On Linux: accessing the diskette would cause a panic or

Such an underfunded project. Even with such low resources they can get a lot done.

When they eliminated the bismarck, I stopped going there. FWIW, I do not drink coffee, never did. And yes, as fsckboy said, when they stopped making the donuts at each shop, they became awful. Luckily there is a local donut shop, one lo

Well I know what I will be doing, I read the upgrade guide: https://www.openbsd.org/faq/upgrade78.html It is even easier then last time, no manual file removal. Easy as pie, maybe I should bake a pie during the upgrade

In the US, there is no such thing as "out of circulation". All coins issued since the Mint started minting is legal tender, thus cannot be melted by people. I do not know about Paper Money, but I am 99.9999% sure all paper curren

On IQs, I remember seeing higher CO2 levels can lower IQs a little bit, higher CO2, IQs get lower. Maybe that could be part of the reason at least for that.

No kidding, where I worked (fortune 500) they started to move to HANA, that drove me out :) At my age, I was done doing 24/7 that it would take to get it installed before S/3 licenses expired. Last I heard the company was going to

I do not think so when compared to past ages. The only difference now is we get to see "stupid" due to the internet. In the past, the majority of people who could be heard by the "masses" tended to be educated and weal

Yes, I think this is an insult to our profession. All I can say about Jobs is he made lots of $. Dennis Ritchie revolutionized an industry.
