Flowed text doesn't mean that it won't be printed. It means that it could be printed the way you want it, not the way the author wanted. This comes in handy when the author decided that 50% of the surface of paper should remain

The worst is where you assume a vanilla implementation of some basic functionality, so you skip the explanation, but actually, there's a quirk inside that you only discover after scratching your head for a while. Newbies are lucky in t

That comes from copyright, though. Copyright is arguably something different than property rights, and is a very recent invention. That's why no one blamed scribes for copying books. You could make a case for private communication exte

The bank doesn't hold a copy of your house, it holds a description of your assets (including contracts like money). And it's absurd to say that if something is your property, then also its descriptions are your property. That do

I see the reasoning, but the flaw here is already in #2: > Acknowledge that some property is not just a tangible object, but can include a configuration of objects. While there is a configuration that constitutes: > database records r

The problem with keeping them separate is that there's no singular "you" who decides; there's no telling what will happen, causing an inherent uncertainty.

Does it allow the users to use it as if there was no NNTP at all? I.e. posting from the web interface.

How is a right to property related to a right to privacy? "Private property" is not using the same kind of "private" as "private communication".

It's worth noting that if the internet splits up into large pieces, the blockchain splits, and the coins will suddenly lose a lot of their value. That's because there's no telling which fork of the blockchain wins when there&

For the reading, btrfs currently chooses one of the drives at random, I think based on the PID of the process that's doing the reading. For writing, you have to wait for the slow one.

It still works this way on Linux. It's better to overprovision the swap though, if you actually intend to use it as swap at runtime. Otherwise there may not be enough free space for the hibernation.

Mnemonics aren't any more self-explanatory, they just rely on clumping extra arbitrary concepts, in the hope that something will stick.

I agree that you can get momentary insight into changes, but that doesn't help you understand if you are indeed alienating potential users, for two combined reasons. First, you can't measure the preferences of those who never were

I use SingleFileZ for saving the bookmark, and then run it through recoll-we to search them. The search is not perfect, but it has augmented my memory several times already.
