Not entirely true, I’ve worked at a number of suse only shops in the us. Ostensibly I found their support leagues better than red hat.

Its more you have a table like so: ID VALUE CHANGED 1 1 date 2 2 date+n etc... Where you never actually update id 1 in place and setup views etc... to wrap over the table(s) that ignore the history. I use this a

I grew up in North Dakota, this bar sounds like a lot of small town bars I grew up around. I'm sure you're right on them being a dime a dozen, our "local" aka 20 minute drive away bar had unpaved roads and also yes did h

The go runtime moves stacks between threads? Oof that’s horrible, any pointers to the logic behind it? I’m curious the rationale.

Sure, but just pointing out that the ability to carry an ethernet signal does not impart the ability to talk on the network the hdmi might somehow be plugged into. If you can provide an example of a receiver that does this that would help.

You could also sabotage the wifi chip or antenna if you wanted to make 100% sure the tv doesn't connect. Good luck trying to connect to wifi without an antenna connected.

You'd have to bridge whatever you're connecting the hdmi to make that a problem not? I generally don't have that kind of a setup for network clients. Least I've never seen a network device that was originating off the hd

I'm slightly confused as a native English speaker here. zwei und vierzig versus zwei hundert vierzig are radically different to my ears. The counting thing is annoying but not as annoying as French numbers in my not so humble opinion.

Indeed, calling the Dakotas/montana as "desert" is... misleading. Tundra maybe, but its not really a desert. And the plains are a great spot for grazing critters like Bison. The land there is their old stomping grounds, they

My godfather has a bison ranch, one of the larger ones. Regular fences work, as guidance really. If a bison wants to get through, they're weak as water and won't stop them. You need telephone post thickness fence preferably cement

Indeed, never even crossed my mind to set the escape key to meta, definitely not a default even for Cocoa emacs.

What do you use escape for in emacs? It’s not in any default kebinding, do you mean vi? Even that doesn’t need escape, ctrl + ] keeps you on the home row. Slightly confused emacs user.
