> Nobody likes milk—like, literally nobody. If that were true then you wouldn't need to scream it so hard. If people didn't like it, it wouldn't sell, and they'd stop making it. But it's great! I love milk. Cold.

Pushing anything almond "for the environment" seems like it's a slap in the face of California, to me.

SSH has both control channels and escape codes. They could add this to the \n~? codes.

IRC is still alive. I have irssi on a monitor on the side all the time, both for friends and work. IRC is not as big as it used to be, but at its highest it was mainstream even for computer illiterates.

I tried to sell the OpenSSH team on implementing inline file transfer with zmodem once, but they were not interested.

I don't even see it as unfortunate. It's just reality. It's a tool to be used when appropriate, like any other. My point is that adding a higher level abstraction for e.g. strings in C runs a strong risk of not being fit for

I don't know that this should be fixed. It seems so fundamental to the core language that it's simply the cost of doing business. The set of projects in 2023 that should be done in C are not that big. Even the Linux kernel is ge

As other have said, this is no longer considered to be "true". Yes, they make it harder to get memory corruption. But that's a very narrow definition of "safe". If you tell the computer to copy a string, or append t

Ok, so sales tax/VAT on cryptocurrencies? You'll be pretty alone advocating for that, I think. At least it's a path I've not heard before.

Ah, I see. That kind of control. So in this analogy the government should regulate cryptocurrency mining (production), import, export, domestic transfer, exchange, disposal, loans, etc…? In other words, you're saying that cryptocurrenc

I see what you mean. I guess in my mind "people who like cryptocurrency" like it for reasons other than its bigger-fool value proposition. Yes, I agree that there are many many people out there who don't care one bit for e.g.

So what did you mean by saying jeans manufacturing should not be regulated, and only (?) jeans (and other goods) ownership should be regulated?

by knorker 4y ago
Sure. Plenty of financial regulation is newer. Crashes and frauds just in the last 100 years have created lots of new laws. But the thing is people want fast and anonymous payments, but don't acknowledge that traditional banking isn&#x

That's a funny majority. Like how most rapes (about 33%) are committed by someone you know.

Not fair to compare Drive with s3. Completely different products. The Google equivalent of s3 is GCS.

No, language doesn't make sense. Everyone in Sweden knows English. Actually nowadays I bet higher percentage of Swedes know English than know Swedish.
