Links to Forgejo and CI are broken in the README. I wanted to fix them, but I'm not even sure where the [~ci] link should lead.

Yes. Without it, we'll keep getting dysfunctional ultra-partisan elected bodies.

I implemented "multitasking" (well, two-tasking) between a BASIC program and native code on a Z80, using a "supervisor" driven by hardware interrupts. There's just so much you can pack in a 4MHz CPU with a 4-bit ALU

Won't fungi and bacteria eat (cellulose-based) the clothes, releasing the same amount of CO₂, only a bit slower? Synthetic fabrics can likely be buried as a form of carbon sequestration though.

But what do you do with unsold Chanel quilts?

How recycling by shredding is not destroying? If the regulation specifically prohibits burning, it makes sense, as a measure to limit unproductive CO₂ emissions.

Do high-end brands even produce 300 kilotons of clothing? Assuming, very generously, that a piece of clothing, with packaging and all, weights 1 kg, it would be 300M pieces of clothing; that could be an entire production run of something ve

Is there something similar, but geared towards a Linux desktop / laptop? I suppose this would be relatively easy to adapt.

According to TRIZ [1], the perfect device is such that it's not present, but its function is performed. (This device is neat, but is not that.) [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TRIZ

Given enough soft skills, you can persuade your boss that what you are doing is important, and help him/her represent the department as uncovering and proactively addressing an important issue. Ideally it should align well with the bos

I think this would have an opposite effect. An addicted customer is a customer willing to pay. Think about gambling or tobacco. BTW OnlyFans somehow lives off subscriptions. OTOH I gladly pay for YouTube Premium.

Even subway train operators in NYC, whose job can be safely automated away, and has been for like 20 years, were able to legally mandate their jobs. I bet lawyers will, too. But the numbers of junior partners, and of paralegals, will dwindl

Sounds somehow similar to the groundbreaking application of a computer to prove the 4 color theorem. Then the researchers wrote a program to find and formally prove the numerous particular cases. Here the computer finds a simplifying patter

Amazing, but it's also terrifying that the Maya civilization then faltered, instead of getting onto the exponential development spiral. The great Roman civilization also faltered, but at least the Byzantium continued to carry some of

Ruby, Python, and Typescript use metaprogramming rather heavily. They lack the homoiconic property of lisps, but they can do both higher-order functions and monkey-patching. Meta-heavy code usually offers a nice DSL, but is proportionally h

The point is that the alternative platforms should be small per-community chat servers run by their users. A one-click installation on a $5/mo web host like DO or Vultr or similar. Good luck policing them away.

I don't think it's beyond their comprehension to ask: "how can I have a chat system that I personally control?" The rest will be taken care of. Look at the Amnezia VPN. It's an app that helps you buy a VPS from a ra

I just assume that they realized that they can split the offering, and to charge for the top tier more. (Yes, even more.) If Claude Code can replace an engineer, it should cost just a bit less than an engineer, not half as much.

SSH should not become a different user; it should call something like `/bin/login` which uses PAM for authentication and is capable of starting user sessions.

You are thinking 20 years ahead. In 1995 most servers were still pets, not cattle.

What do you think proper architecture would be, given that ssh needs a capability to let root logins? I suppose it could be via a proper PAM module, which is widely supported. Too bad the first PAM RFC was published about the same time the

Which are these other countries? Have you tried something actually made in Japan, or in Germany, for instance? What you describe seems like very cheap Chinese imports fraudulently imitating something else.

But DoD with its weird requirements, and the Congress with its power to finance the project and the desire to bring jobs from it to every state, and the rules of contracting that NASA must follow, are all also part of the state, the way the
