How about a chimpanzee? The young females have been observed to use sticks as dolls, playing with them like babies. The young males tend to use sticks as tools and weapons. IMHO, this ends the argument.

Well, to be fair, encouraging foreign language isn't exactly the best idea for most students. Higher priorities might include some understanding of economics, law, personal finances, golf, negotiating, public speaking, time management,

I also have contemplated doorknobs. I hate that the choice is between slippery round ones and hook-like ones. I'd like a slightly rounded dodecahedron, icosahedron, or 5 to 12 sided prism.

Being in Florida, your crops don't sound weird based on climate. Cacao and coffee look like a lot of trouble to process though, and I'm not sure how a person can stand to eat okra. You're missing out on coconut, jaboticaba, m

Oh, maybe that is why I can no longer use Google Maps. It used to perform OK, and then one day it became hopeless. I was thinking it might be assumptions about 3D acceleration hardware.

Since you are a game developer with kids, I have to ask... what about the addiction? Have you seen your kids getting addicted to games? Does that bother you? Have you pondered your own contribution to that problem?

I think it's easier to put the entire system into the reverse debugger. The downside is some complexity seeing into the system to view individual processes. Here is one such tool: https://www.raytheonintelligenceandspace.com

Childcare expense has a natural limit: the income of one parent. I have a dozen kids, and I certainly do not attempt to pay for childcare. The kids have a mother to care for them. It's interesting to ponder how close people might be to

Why must it be "need more dense condos like Chicago" when you can just move to Chicago? If other large cities change to be more like Chicago, then you might change your opinion of them.

For an actual fork bomb, nothing ends up in the PID graveyard. No process ever dies. The fork bomb by itself is a problem, even without a PID graveyard. Process limits are required to stop a fork bomb. For other situations, just keep the di

I implemented the --forest option in ps. It can't fully work. The kernel forgets parent-child relationships when processes die. Every orphan is adopted by init, and the kernel doesn't bother to remember the original parent. I'

Yes...? I'm disputing the characterization of WebAssembly as assembly. There does not exist a CPU which runs a trivial translation of WebAssembly.

The business was software products, built to order, delivered on CD-R media, starting in 2005. The company grew pretty well, doubling in size every 20 months, eventually to be acquired by a large defense contractor. The website probably was

Eh, no, I really don't think so. I was at a start-up with a website that had exactly one page. The page had a photo of a bank vault, a company logo consisting of 2 letters, and a phone number. That was perfectly fine. The business was

No, the true minimum is -infinity, and $0 is quite common. The legal minimum wage just excludes a particular range. Jobs that would naturally be in that range get pushed to one side or the other, with working conditions adjusting to compens

I know a business owner who just pays the penalty. It's actually better for his workers in Massachusetts, since they get state-subsidized healthcare that is better than what he could get for the cost of the penalty. So, consider doing

At the four-way stop by your house that continuously has traffic for a hour twice a day during rush hour, how do pedestrians cross? Is it even safe for them to cross? Whatever the answer, that works for cyclists. Simply dismount, then act l

OK, I'll imagine I'm a cyclist, trying to cross a four-way stop. When I was a teen, I used to do exactly that, riding my 10-speed on the sidewalk. This is how it goes: Approach the intersection, coasting and then braking. Come to

No. Make the argument in court. The law really should be struck down if you can't have a copy of it. The court could hold that the law is unenforceable until the copyright expires.

If they were meaningful, dishonesty and self-delusion would creep in. They are thus abstract, and you use a conversion factor to get time. The conversion factor could experience inflation or deflation.
