Proprietary toolchains of that era are a special beast. They are probably talking about proprietary compilers and development tools, which were certified and depended in win98 environments. Perhaps they just ran the toolchain in a win98 qem

> The whole financial system is based on a chain of trust that starts and ends with auditors. I guess this would be the equivalent of certificate authorities being caught issuing non-unique or wildcard certificates.

I have been using gist for my Spivak calculus problems. Often I write down on a notebook and then transcribe it to the $<latex>$ format. Along with the other markdown features it has been enough. Plain latex has a steep curve and not

Propaganda and fear mongering in Poland is so high that news are meaningless. The current political topic is that Germany would support Russia if Russia invaded Poland and would split it between. This is not a fringe thing it is a political

The proposal on the central verification authority is actually how pilot licenses are given. The flight schools have no legal power to exam. For example theoretical exams are done by the aeronautical authority of the country which itself on

I agree wholeheartedly with the fact that China is looking at Ukraine. What it shows is that an invasion would set up a chain reaction that would disrupt international order with very negative effects for its economy and strategic goals. Ob

Indeed. Look at China and Taiwan. The Chinese that fled to Taiwan at the end of their Civil War loaded boats with gold and wealth. They also were generally well educated. A small island that stood and still stands.

I am still in my 30s and due to antecipating this issue, I started doing basic formal mathematics based on Spivak's Caluclulus book and this small blog post [1]. The mindset needed to prove things is novel and came quite hard at first,

Hmm seems we disagree so it is not factually wrong, but a matter of where you draw the line at fallback. I am not an expert in uefi but my uefi system does not give me the ability to pass command line arguments to the kernel. I actually wen

By not using Grub you lose the ability to fallback on a safe kernel. That may be quite dangerous depending on how reliable kernel update is for you. I have been saved by kernel fallbacks before. Double that for laptops whose ACPI drivers ra

In Poland you are a tax citizen automatically if you have been there more than 183 days[1]. The exact same 183 in Portugal[2]. It is an automatic thing so quite simple. [1] https://taxsummaries.pwc.com/poland/individual

I honestly do not understand why anyone having a fraud call, would not bother to go to the bank itself. That is my rule and would have avoided the situation. I had a call similar to the article's and in the end I just said I will go to

By sealed you mean enclosed but not air tight right? Air tight sealing would require a pressure vessel for electronics which i never saw both on airplanes nor on cars. The plastic coating though, I have seen. Such coating completely changes

In low temperatures you start having issues with moisture saturating the air. Things get wet out of nowhere. There are also electrolytic capacitors which are water based so these need to be ruled out as well. Given air has at any given time

I accept the analysis that the Chinese approach will likely be superior to the olden ways of Europe, but I believe you are mixing old Europe with modern China. Xxi century Europe is not fueling wars in Europe nor ruled by unbridled rulers g
