I consider myself really lucky. Besides the really simple OS's like found on Commodore Vic 20, 64, PET and CBM, QNX is the first full fledged OS I learned on. I'm still a Unix style evangelist to this day. Students one year younge

I agree there should be a mandatory retirement age like there is in pretty much every other vocation. How old will Trump be when he tries to get in again?

I like the direction. Maybe at second level you could input your questions in Spanish (or whatever language you set). That way you add a step of writing in the same language once you've gotten reasonably good at reading the respons

This reminds me of old audio tapes. You can only use them so often, and let them age so many years before they start to sound awful. Film is a more obvious one. I would trust an ex server-room hard drive for continued use just as readily as

Supply control is a huge factor in the pricing. People will always try to find those shortcuts, and unfortunately the purchasers are very rarely better off for it. There was a (thankfully brief) period in the 70's when people were buyi

Yes, to be fair the good version of these treats, at Pet Smart, cost double the price.

Dollarama always does this with their dog treats. Every year or so there is either one less treat in the pack, the actual treats get shorter, or looser wound to look the same size but now more hollow, or the price goes up 50c. My dogs used

The added 'y' seems to have an alternate meaning: 'ish'. It should probably be read as "Now! More Chocolate-ish!" I'm always skeptical when an ingredient name is modified to become a comparison instead. C

This is correct. The difference between US and Canadian milk is Canada's fine filtering and laws against steroid and antibiotics. The reason Canadians resented the forced import of US milk is because of course milk is cheaper when heal

It's probably too late for you to notice my reply, but I would look at your total skill set and get into consulting those very specific skills. Not the generic ones everybody has, but the solutions you have gotten really good at over t

It's literally only the media, and not the law enforcement, that use the term "hack." The word "hack" probably doesn't even exist in any criminal code. Law enforcement use phrases like "unlawful access to

I'm late to the game BUT just in case someone sees this: Not so long ago they found that deep fake voices don't emulate the shape of the mouth and throat very well, and therefore it's easy to tell if a clip is a deep fake, o

If you watch the whole boot, they purposely set the date to the 90's. I think it is because they don't want to pay the license for the BIOS. You can see some text about that license scroll by as well. I've seen it often, and

Some of the time is because they have a single board computer, and only licensing the BIOS. You'll know if that's the case if after the boot, you see it purposely set the time to something arbitrary, but dating back to the 90&#x27

I do like the way the site connects your hex values with an existing named colour. I cycled through 123456 to 234567 etc until abcdef. Ends up 0xABCDEF is pale cornflower blue.

Good find. I tend to do everything from cli, so I'm always on the lookout for things that reduce my need for popping up windows that can't communicate with each other. This felt like something Kali should have. Sure enough, '

I wish the world could stop obsessing over how rich the richest people are, and instead obsess at how poor the rest are increasingly becoming.

I rather like the environment devices for Raspberry Pi. Surely they aren't "professional level," but for things like CO2 and other particles and gases, you can generate scrolling graphs. That lets you always know whether thin

I googled "female classical composer" and was blown away at how many there are. A lot. BUT other than the first two being married to male classical composers everybody has heard of in modern times, you'll probably never learn

I saw some of this art in a thread on Twitter. It is fascinating. From the article: “You don’t break into someone’s house to show them you can break into their house,” Mr. Venkatasubramanian said. I agree with the statement in general, but

It's almost relevant, because C14 decays into N14 (which is what we measure for carbon dating). N14 on the ground is a stable fertilizer. But if it is airborne and makes it to the planet's uppermost layers, cosmic rays eventually

That's pretty much exactly what they say in this study. The point is if you are a sedentary couch potato or desk jockey, you can do this to activate a metabolic state. Literally the people who won't use your (good) advice. It&#x27

Funny enough, they say in a few different ways that while it isn't a very practical exercise, you're just sitting there anyway. So it is not aimed at most athletes. Athletes already have strong metabolic responses, except when the

It's actually not. The reason he mentioned what's going on on the inside is not what you think is going on by looking from the outside. Sit in that same position, and then do a lift part way. At some point, you'll find a &quo

If you want to be pedantic, why didn't you mention the article title "Says" instead of "Said"? This is the kind of false-correction that kills instead of invites discussion, as it has really nothing to do with the a

This also reminds me of something C programmers have all witnessed at least once: inline assembly. Outside of bare metal programming, pretty much anything done with inline assembly can already have been done with straight-up C. BUT by using
