I feel like third or so of this critique could be subtitled "have I mentioned that I don't like C?".

Doesn't seem so weird. Argentina has a history of taking in wealthy folks with...um...baggage.

If I'm supposed to buy a robot to clean my house, I personally don't want to have to go looking for where the stupid thing has put my cups and plates or whatever whenever it straightens up. I expect there to be a place for all th

The problem here was that they didn't announce to the host that they are doing a test of their in-development equipment. I personally think the problem here is that they were delusional enough to think this was the way to 'te

One of Mary Beard's documentaries ('Meet the Romans' I think) touches on Roman insulae. Literal death traps, and seemingly miserably uncomfortable at the best of times. At least you're out of the rain (except on the to

Quite! I draw a hard line at 'cult recruitment' in an interview. Personal preference.

I recall some of the Orthodox denominations still do mass in Latin. I visited an Antiochian Orthodox Church for a class where this was the case. I think (it has been a long while) the key phrase you'd look for is 'Western Rite&#

To be fair, the dedicated lazy engineer can make a rats nest out of any interconnect technology.

Much like saying It's time to leave (your hobby) in the history books . But it's obvious that the distinction and thus the irony is completely lost here.

How about 'pedantry'. I'd go with 'condescending', but that was clearly your intent.

What more do you need to know? The authoritative sources (I think lwn.net is, but I'm sure there's a ton of 'well, ackshually...' opinions) say he's unwinding his role, and that new people are picking it up. Seems

Linux used to be a pretty good UNIX, I'm not sure what it is now. Linux has become Linux, it's own thing that as often as not says "yeah, that old Unix stuff is fine for you boomers and other fossils...we're going to b

The idea people aren't doing 'proper science' on this is a spectacular level of oblivious. There's nothing in here that I haven't at some point had a discussion about with my sleep doc in the last 20 years (well, n

That's fair, but if I'm a fund that can literally write a check the size of my endowment, why is that not a demonstration of my value? That's not finance 101, but you get to it later on.

Ok, so we're engaging in sophistry. Got it.

Another solid C in finance. Congrats. They have 125b they can literally write a check against and allocate any way they want as long as it delivers an adequate return and doesn't piss off the shareholders. Other than sophistry, what&

Yes, my grasp of english is adequate to understand these words. I just think it's a huge stretch of hubris to claim something is 'portable', especially to claim it's " ultra " portable, if you've not done

The author can do whatever they want. But if all you want to support is x86-64, ARM64 and maybe some version of RISC-V, don't crow about how 'extremely' portable you are. At best, you don't know.

MX records publish an SMTP server for a domain and a 'priority'. You can have multiple MX records and (theoretically[1]) you try the one with the lowest priority, and if it doesn't respond, try the next lowest, etc. Or (the

And, yeah, everything is hot swappable on VAX. Only the last generation or 2 of the highest end VAXen had any significant hot swap (VAX 9000/400 and later, which sold very poorly). The vast majority of VAX machines didn't. Eve

They are a pension fund; they literally had/have US$125 billion dollars under management. What exactly is being stretched here? I can't for the life of me think of something that qualifies more for being a 125b company than

Not 'large Perl codebases', but I know an awful lot of 'small Perl codebases', relatively speaking, doing the sort of sysadmin stuff Perl was designed to do. It's still a great scripting language, and there's

No it's not and no we're not. It's a trite, annoying, contrived affect. No true scottsman does it.
