well maybe work on that "re-election advantage", understand and curtail it instead of instuting blanket (and imo insane) bans?

Well I did 30km with ~1500m height gained three-four times a week for a while. If I pushed I maybe could do 60km, but that would be no fun. Tops was 40 km on trails and 2500m gained, but that was extreme. You need enough water, good shoes a

The key point of fascism is not "dehumanizing", "classes" or "people". Those are just side effects or by-products, whatever you like. The key point is "forget yourself, devote all you were to the state&qu

Well, adapting tank guns to operate in vacuum would be so much more interesting than just shooting them. edit: besides in vacuum you don't need "discarding sabot". there is no air resistance. so it calls for a completely diff

Well, you can't really commute on a Ninja or a Hayabusa. Dirtbike will get old fast too. Maxi/midi scooters like Yamaha Majesty / X-MAX are the commuting vehicle of choice.

mwahahaha. as if there is some divine "language specification" which all compilers adhere to on pain of eternal damnation. no such thing ever existed.

Ah. My bad. Still, if you got this kind of temperature gradients, and I happen to have lived in such a place, you also got at least 100mm mineral wool insulation or eqivalent. Which is poor by the way, and people do invest into 200 or somet

That does not seem right. -10С to +20C .. I can't even think of a place with such a swing. Harsh continental climate winter is maybe -30C to -20C or so.

Ublock is a couple clicks away. I for one consider it effectively built-in.

Try living in Goa in the monsoon season. Or even rewatch Apocalypse Now or basically any Vietnam war movie. I assure you, even 36C/100% is survivable.

Well you can look into how DFHack for Dwarf Fortress was redone. It involved a C++ decompiler written in clisp. Since then Ghidra was released, so the process is somewhat simpler, if not as much *fun*.

If everything useful a system does is in this process, then what's the difference?

Happens all the time with the userspace async stuff, swapcontext(3), freebsd n:m threads, greenthreads, stackless py, it's all ancient, and they're all userspace schedulers. I think SA takes it a bit too far though. Even if it loo

Where does the "idling python code" come from? If it blocks, it blocks, that's not "idling". And I doubt they are running a process per core.

In re 5 - nothing big could have happened even if there were no baltic pipelines at all since the whole RU-EU gas transport system was at below 50% utilization for years.

OS/2 once ran the majority of russian fidonet. Is fondly remembered as half-axle, as OS in russian is same as 'Ocь' === axle.

> Thus, I would argue that if the OS provided some functionality to move allocated pages in and out of the 32 bit address space of a process to enable the process to use more than 4 GiB of memory ... Oh, no. Back then the segmented memor

No it could not not have happened. Address space pressure was immense back in the day, and plain doubling the width of everything while retaining the compatablity was the obvious choice.

It's hard because it's useless, but overhyped. You're forced to solve problems with inappropriate tools, which is an anathema for a true engineer. Same as it was with NFTs and where they are? Same as it is with clouds and k8s

2003 eh.. Behold the Prince of Gosplan written in 1992 and inspired by the original Prince of Persia game published in 1989 by Broderbund. There was no Ubi back then and that the franchise is still being "owned" is an insult. htt

The pump is the rain. The water flows down into both oceans, evaporates there and falls down on the lake's tributary areas, then flows down into it. That's the beauty of the whole design.
