Jira and the Unassigned/Automatic selection when trying to change a story assignment, I'm looking at YOU in particular!

I don't think it ignores robots.txt, I think it just doesn't have a very good parser and you need to give them their own user-agent block. I had a similar level of frustration. https://www.feitsui.com/en/artic

I think that one of the issues with edge-connectors (beyond thickness and distance as mentioned in another comment) is capacitance, which is one reason why CAMM is structured the way it is.

I'm a big fan of the idea of CAMM in general. It's this, or we end up with locked-in amounts of RAM as per things like the M[1-3] Macbooks. The connectors won't be cheap, so I suspect uptake for laptops might not be so common

> My 1996 Mustang's CD player has a "Compress" button on it, to make listening to highly dynamic music more feasible in a noisy car environment. I believe _this_ is where the issue mostly originated (well, radio, really).

One would hope they might instead consider the use of CAMM - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_Attached_Memory_Mo... - but I guess we'll see :(

REXX itself was a language made by IBM used for all manner of purposes, AREXX was a slightly simplified take on that for the Amiga. A number of programs on the Amiga would have an AREXX "port" which provided a set of APIs which co

Except that nothing is passed by reference (or everything is, depending on how you look at it). It's just that some objects have methods which can modify state (like list, dict) and others don't (like int, str). Ned Batchelder did

And thus AREXX rises from the ashes of the corpse of Amiga.

export PIP_REQUIRE_VIRTUALENV=1 has been quite helpful in the past as pip then refuses to just install things directly.

Or, since we have a word already, we could use that... Fortnightly. Biweekly needs to mean, specifically, twice a week.

Sather was something I was first exposed to at university in the mid 90s, and I still have a lot of respect for its looping mechanism. Code inclusion in classes rather than inheritance was also pretty cool. Pre/post conditions, invaria

I'd wondered the same, but even with that question hanging I think the outcome of being able to electrolyse sea water directly was interesting.

"not increasing" is a permissible interpretation of monotonic though. The clock should never go backward, but not increasing for a brief period is acceptable. It does mean you can't use it for 100% high-precision work, but at

Python 3.11 introduced asyncio.TaskGroup[0] to cover the same use-case as trio nurseries (scoped await on context manager exit). It's imperfect, sure, but it improves matters. [1] https://docs.python.org/3/library&

Can any of it be recycled/reused, or is it destined to be incinerated or chemically stripped? I agree, to a point. My initial comment was related to the "100% recyclable" bit. The aluminium certainly is, the can itself isn&#x

Aluminium may be, but interior of the can is coated in plastic (some quite unpleasant), and painted/coated/labelled externally too.

The reason people hated Steam at the time of CS 1.6 is because those people who owned CS on WON would need to repurchase CS on Steam. Since all new players were on Steam it meant that the existing playerbase were excluded (there was no WON&

I appreciate this is a 3-day-old comment now, but consider MISTer - https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki - which allow access to all of these older systems rather than being locked down to one of them.

I've occasionally toyed with the thought that political duty should be managed in a similar manner as jury duty. (One of) The problems with political representatives is that they _want_ to be politicians. Either as a means to an end, o

That's history coming back to bite it though. There was a period where the symbols True and False existed in Python but the bool class did not. True was _literally_ 1, and False was 0. Because of this, for backward compat, bool is a su

TCP/IP might be a reasonable example. There's a reason "network byte order" and "big endian" are the same thing.
