Sorry, but Russia is a credible threat that keeps killing people in Ukraine and threatens going nuclear. China is betting on us rather pivoting than engaging with Russian army. If we seem tough enough, we call it. We can then also negotiate

Imagine Lenovo refusing to service your ThinkPad because you've compiled your own kernel. Charging IC has NTC thermistor and battery absolutely must withstand the system running on 100% and then some. As for battery lifetime, batteries

Do you need displays in your life? If so, how do you feel about the prospect of not being able to purchase them in case of prolonged conflict over IC factories in Taiwan?

IO bound compiler would be weird. Memory, perhaps, but newer CPUs also tend to be able to communicate with RAM faster, so... I think just having LSP give you answers 2x faster would be great for staying in flow.

Huh. So, like, maybe if rents were not spiking and people were not bleeding money to predatory landlords, maybe, hear me out, maybe they would instead pay someone to build them a house.

I am willing to increase funding for undercover operatives who infiltrate CSAM smuggling rings and bust them. But nobody asked for this. They always say it is impossible without breaking encryption.

You absolutely could, though. Deceiving users? Warning, temporary ban, permanent ban! Selling mushy stuff for plumbers and kids? No problem! It takes a simple reporting system, couple moderators costing peanuts compared to what we pay for t

I'd pay for browser. I send money to KiCad, Blender and others. I see no reason not to support Firefox. They'd have to lay off all the leeches, though.

Holding company shares does nothing. Those shares are used as a medium of exchange with people actually doing some productive investment elsewhere. The investment happens when somebody sells you the shares in exchange for fiat used to pay o

Sigh. Capitalism aligned with our needs (cheap goods) up until about 1990. Colonization of former USSR pushed it to 2010 or so, but now it just keep declining and won't stop. It needs growth in productivity that just isn't possibl

By saving you are in fact betting on your ability to threaten young people with material deprivation to force them to take care of you. You could make a different bet, e.g. invest into whatever infrastructure they'll need to take care

The strongest predictor of you wage is physical distance to the CEO outside business hours. The second is physical distance to the CFO. Since CEO is with them all the time, it follows they get the most.

There's pixels and pixels. Screen pixels are (nowadays) usually three vertical rectangles that occupy a square spot on the grid that forms the screen. This is sometimes exploited for sub-pixel font smoothing purposes. Digital photograp
