Do you do a lot of road trips? The only scenario from the above list I have not personally been involved in, as a driver or passenger, is ABS problems leading to an unexpected change in handling, mostly because I have older vehicles. Yes, I

If you lose the odometer and the gasoline tank level meter you no longer have a way to plan refueling on longer trips. Run out of gas in a bad place and you can end up freezing to death (happens every year to people during blizzards) or dyi

None of my keyboards have Russian keycaps on them. I still somehow manage to type in Russian. Do you look at your keycaps when typing? If you want to, you can put stickers on your keycaps (you can purchase sets for foreign languages, and fo

None of that is true at all. Turbo Pascal was hugely popular on DOS in the 1980s into the early 1990s. It wasn't until Windows 3.1 that Turbo Pascal really started losing market share to C. You are also completely forgetting about Appl

What are you talking about? Running out of stack has nothing to do with what you use for code generation/preprocessing. I also don't see why running out of stack would ever be worse than a buffer overflow. The former is at least g

The character set and font constraints of the early 1990s, when J (1990) and K (1993) were developed, no longer apply. APL symbols are part of Unicode. There is no technical advantage left to ASCII-only syntax for APL-derived languages.

No it's not. OS-level virtualization is the abstraction. Docker is a set of tools to manage Linux containers and virtual filesystems. You can argue that libvirt is an abstraction because it does actually work over several different vir

That is a huge font. With X11 fixed 6x10 or 6x13 font you get two 80-column screens at 1024, and three at 1440. At 74 columns you can get three screens on 1366 displays.

w3m sets the column width for the HN nested table spacer all to one value, so you visually only get two levels on nesting. Here is a screenshot of this thread as rendered by w3m: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/rZ1yOj55fvQ
