Republicans have been the ones arguing that businesses don't have to do business with anyone for any reason. Are you saying they don't believe that standard should apply to Trump? If so, that sounds like hypocrisy to me.

Michael Abrash - there's a name I haven't heard in a while! I remember his book back in the 90s Zen of Code Optimization completely changed how I looked at assembly language programming. I can easily imagine him doubling the Qua

Falling to phones and tablets, not Linux desktops. Fewer and fewer people even want a desktop. Normies don't give a crap about Linux and haven't given a crap for over 30 years.

We've been talking about The Year of the Linux Desktop for over 30 years. Now it's clearer then ever that such a year is never going to happen. Meanwhile, Linux has become the server OS of choice - and that's not likely t

What’s the real difference between life and afterlife? Death is what gives life its shape. It defines, sharpens, and focuses it. Humans need finitude to act with purpose. Without death, we’d end up with centuries-old adolescents — infinite

This headline was pretty much true 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 15 years ago... Don't get me wrong, I think Hurd is interesting, but I seriously doubt it's going to have a big impact on anything as it reflects the software engineeri

Agree 100%. A colonoscopy is a nothing burger. Getting everything squeaky clean for the procedure is way worse than the actual procedure itself. Even without an anesthetic, you're administered a sedative and they set an IV "just i
