No. Capitalism has the race-to-the-bottom problem, but it's not necessary to engage in it. Shareholder value is not intrinsically defined as a short-term construct, or even a monetary one; that's just how it's seen by fuckwit

It's worse than that. My wife's sarl must file every quarter, in mind-boggling detail, and is mandated to have both labour and fiscal assessors. It took nearly a year to fire an employee who stole €6000 and maliciously crippled op

Is it me, or does rust suffer badly from important functionality being contributed rather than baked in by design, leading to, e.g., multiple incompatible ways to do async? Or am I spoiled by .net, which has an excellent bcl?

I've just finished Blindsight by Peter Watts - a First Contact sci fi. This discussion echoes it. Take that as a book recommendation, if you will.

Nope. Gnu regex tools also do not support lookahead or alternation. Lookahead is really useful. It's a problem for Linux that it can't move on. The cold dead hand of gnu is firmly around the community's neck.

Reason #2 to use powershell - consistent regex. I've got "hold my beer" commits in .net - I've balanced brackets. I believe that's impossible in sed and grep. If I were going to write a json parser in a script, then

No gnu tool can balance brackets, afaics. So you can't do everything in sed. And sed is, by design, useless for matching text that spans lines, so good luck picking out paragraphs with it.

> there's no tension There certainly is. It's a high-stakes scenario and the door-opening presents new information. It makes the conclusion feel less certain. Revealing the car would conclude the game, of course. Unless the con

The thing about MAD is that the button only needs to be pushed once. We're on a tight rope until we aren't.

Right, but you're describing the process of an open-minded person. For the fuckwits in any given electorate, your maxim would be better phrased as "default to not having any fucking opinion at all on that of which you know not&quo

You had concrete car parks? When I were a lad, we had to inherit from car park and implement parking spaces ourselves. And if you had an overflow you had to walk -2147483648 miles to work.

Reassuringly anachronistic to use acres as a unit of measure on the moon.

Same and same and same, but I know exactly why I won't leave the telly on - I'm very susceptible. It grabs me. Even though I have no interest in ads or even 95% of programming. It's not a pleasant feeling.

Talvin Singh's album "OK" is jaw-dropping sober. With ketamine, it's apotheotic. Also: footless, and fancy-free, think how happy mom'll be...

Hmm. If we pretend that there are no vulnerabilities today, then the mind turns to what will change in the future. I tolerate js in the Bitwarden extension because it's necessary, funded, supported and necessary. But Retriever sounds t

I'm stealing that line! But chickens have a social order, keepers say, and more complex behaviour than a naive city slicker might expect. They may not be grandmasters, but they aren't completely stupid.

Of course, bumping transmit power on the AP does little to help poor little mobiles that can't transmit back. Sure, you get 5 bars of signal strength indicated, but your TCP performance is still garbage.

I would caution that the cheaper models in the lineup don't have the grunt to deliver the features to a usable degree. I can run tailscale on the Opal, but it's constrained to ~2Mb/s. The Mango, I can't even download pac

I don't see that going well. Now you're fighting against big bastards with higher market share on two fronts instead of one. I don't have any better ideas how to grow Firefox user share.

You can, but in that phase, you're expending energy without generating any.

That would be both interesting and cool, but I suspect you'll find it extremely uneconomical use of land, and wind is less energetic at ground level. Maybe if this "CAT" company builds machines that can operate at a few hundr
