Yes, your bias is showing. Before Gutenberg, "scribe" was a profession, and perfect fidelity was expected. We also don't know how many sheets went in the bin.

Not GP, but consider the view from the inside of a feckless pleb's skull. Effort is to be avoided, so its needless expenditure is unrelatable.

Ah ok, it has actually happened. Although that case was actually about a commission not to actively poach from each other. I also think that $75m to a tech giant is not much of a punishment. I don't have a list of material evidence, so

Good point, hinkley (see what i did there?). I forgot about alternate timelines. However. People all over the world live on top of aquifers that have been naturally radioactive for millions of years. See you at the protest against granite b

Quite right. I built my sodium reactor while the subsidies were in effect and only paid €4000. It's almost paid off already, and as a nice bonus, i get spent control rods, which attract wildlife.

> We punish companies when they collude to keep salaries low No we fucking don't. I have no idea how you reached that position in the uber era.

I would have agreed with that two years ago, to the extent that crypto isn't mined in DCs. But AI is mined in DCs, and looks a bit frothy. Is it delivering value to someone? yes; is it delivering value in the round? jury is still out.

Fallout came from Chernobyl and Fat Boy. There is no fallout from a reactor that doesn't explode, and Chernobyl exploded for human reasons rather than structural ones. Yes, waste lasts a long time. That's mostly in the form of a p

There's a reason why littering is the most common crime - it doesn't require intelligence or planning, and whatever you are holding can instantly become trash.

You're not exactly wrong, but it's disingenuous to paint the expansion of a defensive alliance of independent nations in the same light as annexation of sovereign nations by military force. For accuracy, replace "NATO" w

Well put. Minor quibble: I see what you're driving at with "inexpressibility" but i think i could write EvenInt and OddInt in F#. I don't know Haskell, but i believe you would have to work hard to find a domain constrain

I would refine that: Language design has only indirect relevance to language popularity. People go where the money is, hence python. But python is widespread because there is employment in it. That adoption by employers follows a network ef

Thanks, i learned something new. I think we're both right by degree. That app is more functional than anything I've found, but there comes a point where you need someone to tell you the modules and fields or you risk bricking your

Early on, they had 30 points of presence with 11 employees - cool, but especially cool to John Galt fans.

Does it label the fields, or are you following forum instructions to write 0x01 to module 76 channel 004?

I have enough common sense to know that the earth is flat and the sun revolves around it. That's why the sun comes up and why we don't fall off. I don't claim to be an expert, i just know that the experts are wrong.

Good thinking, but try a mirror. The majority of primate species don't recognise their own reflection, and the threat signals they display make them back off.

DuckDB isn't an rdbms, bit the answer is the same: ODBC or OLAP. There's a "data connection wizard".

That's a good reason, I might do the same. I certainly used to twiddle that setting trying to make space for Sim City 2000 on an 80MB disk. I see a major footgun in memory compression that Linux doesn't care about - it'll jus

Thanks, that was fascinating! I also see that Galen Hunt contributed to Windows Phone, which I adored. (Maybe I'm quixotic, maybe I'm a poor picker, but i love a thing that's beautiful and doomed.)

On android, that's false. Turning off wifi or internet does not disable bssid scanning. You can do it, but it's buried in the settings.
