Agreed. Inspired by your comment, I did a Google map search, and there appear to be no places currently sporting that name, though there was a bagel shop in Troy NY with it, closed down in 2019. So, you know, there is a vacuum waiting to be

This is a wonderful idea, and although I don’t have kids, I think I want to have the pieces to put it together for when there’s one to play with.

That first one sounds so much like a folky, jokey etymology, and yet, it’s true… Given the existence of “logarithms”, it’s doubly surprising…hey, why are they called that? Wikipedia says “Napier coined the term for logarithm in Middle Latin

Yes, things are often named after people. That alone does not make it unexpected and notable here. -self-appointed policeman of this thing

I don't think this is one of those kinds of things, is it?

See, this here is the -real- problem: prescriptivist tendencies in those players of a certain age who insist that, say, the Coltonshire Maneuver’s success must be determined by the application of what is rightfully analogous to the reading

Ah, I hadn’t heard he’d passed away. He was important to me growing up as a nerdy trombone player. I remember attending one of his concerts, arriving a little late, and I stepped into the concert hall, walked a bit down the aisle to a seat,

Well this is awesome for me; I’ve been studying Spanish for a few years, and want to read fiction, but jeez, A Hundred Years of Solitude sure is difficult. I love SF and generally want to read works original in the language. We’ll see how t

MISRA is there as a standard for safety-critical code. Some contracts, some customers, some regulatory regimes will require compliance with MISRA, or perhaps another embedded coding standard, like AUTOSAR. Generally, your customer/regu

Yeah, this is like, incitement to get them killed, so: no. Even if they were murderers, instead of people who said stuff - and believe me, I hate what they said - you wouldn’t stick their faces on a truck and flirt with getting them killed.

I notice that this user’s name is in green. Does that mean it’s been verified in some way?

She’s not actually a cop, as far as I can tell. It’s a little weird that the union would employ a civilian for the job, but not unimaginable.

I keep hearing that ROCm is DOA, but there’s a lot of supercomputing labs that are heavily investing in it, with engineers who are quite in favor of it.
