Indeed, JARs are just ZIP files (and can even be uncompressed), so this trick works to make self-executable JAR files that consist of a shell script concatenated with the actual JAR. https://blog.frankel.ch/creating-self-con

The incredible scale of our existing fossil fuel infrastructure is pretty mind-boggling, though. Apparently there are 145,000 gas stations in the United States. If someone today proposed building out an energy infrastructure that required t

It'd be great if the code processing highly sensitive personal information were open source, which seems like a whole lot higher priority than the printer drivers that got Stallman hot and bothered in the 1970s. Holy crap did we miss h

I am getting confused in this whole analogy, TBH, but if chickens were clicks or ad impressions, it seems like foxes have developed an appetite for pigeons, larks, hawks, eagles, rabbits, squirrels, shrews, groundhogs, muskrats, cats, small

sigh . The Supreme Court was never intended to be as polarized and partisan as it is today. The framer's thinking on lifetime judicial appointments was that it would give them independence from politics, never needing to be concerned

I wouldn't be so quick to paint the big ad networks as natural phenomenon like foxes, that just need to eat. After all, foxes don't need to eat 23% more hens year after year for decades. Their stomachs are only so big. It's p

This sounds a little like the incremental addiction to fossil fuels the world has developed. It's "the market" and "blame consumers" when we know damn well that consumers don't choose fuel sources and consumers

Just write recursive descent, except for the infix operator precedence, and then use a tiny stack that you either push to or pop from (shift/reduce, ala LR) based on the relative precedence. Pretty much all compilers that have fast par

The irony is it that shows the exact opposite of love and compassion. Self-aggrandizement and no regard for others, motivated only by the needs of self, and didn't even spend an extra second with her beyond what was required to execute

Frankly, it IS outrageous that a few dozen or hundred people own more wealth than 50% of the population. It would be one thing if that wealth was well and duly earned, and well and duly enjoyable. But when an individual commands hundreds

The irony of this statement is that it's so often the case that people argue for lower taxes with "I know how to spend my money better than the government!" Then when it comes to stimulus money, it's the complete opposi

European countries have managed to set national goals and work systematically towards them, putting them far ahead of the US's non-strategy of "the market will fix it" FUD that we've been fed from Miltonites for decades.
