And fun fact, without govt subsidirles, a nuclear power plant isn't economically feasible, which is why Elon isn't just building such a plant next to the data center.

That's an option. What with a human? "Asking" FOSS maintainers might not give the result you want either. Well, depends how you ask I guess. Perhaps attaching an attractive price offer could help things along. But depending o

I'm not sure everything in there is 50 years old. Not even that everything is actually in COBOL. Those gigantic beasts tend to eventually be quarantined into some VM, never touched again, and then somebody puts some modern-ish wrappers

No, umami is a basic taste. Why can't people be more creative with finding good names? Salt? X? Yes, Apple is a terrible name too, but at least it was historically called Apple Computers and only changed once they had a huge brand alre

20 may 1875 is the reference date of ISO 8601:2004. You don't need to trust me on that, you can just go check the standard. Or you can claim that it's misinformation too. Up to you.

That's kinda my point. Two years are better than one, but celebrating it as the achievement is really missing the bigger picture (and is a great success of lobbying work)

12 months is a laughable amount of time. Sadly, companies have normalized such short periods of time, so much so that everybody would give me looks when I say that 5 or 10 years would be more appropriate. Especially tech folks, so I'm

Standard defence after sth retweeted blew up. And it doesn't work like that. Also, it wasn't "just a retweet". He literally wrote that he supported it.

Fun fact, the "olympiad" is the whole 4 year period. The name of the event that you are referring to is "olympic games".

Quite the irony that the thread started with reminiscing about life and purpose and needing time and valuing relationships and you guys go into the "need to make more money" spiel. Here comes a secret: It will never be enough for
