Is there some kind of trick to getting the CDs to load? I've tried Firefox and Chromium, nothing seems to happen on either when clicking on the CDs, no console errors.

Yes, it's only a high level observation, but one that seems to hold true for electrical storage so far, i.e where there is a closed system with an electrical input and output. For fusion there are also various direct energy conversion

Even on the Atari ST you would use a "RAM disk" when working with "large" data before manually flushing it to a floppy. Some people would use the trashcan icon to emphasise the need to manually flush... Not quite a cache

That's not what parent means. They are arguing it's not generally used to delegate partial root access to unprivileged users, i.e by adding narrow sudoers rules to allow "some" specific things to be run as root for some

I was hoping this was still being served on the same Next Cube with the "do not power down!!" label, but the HTTP headers strongly suggest not. Maybe it's pointlessly romantic but I like the idea of machines and software cont

Doesn't reinforced concrete have a lot of longevity problems? If the printing is limited to the walls, i.e no large suspended horizontal section, it seems better to stick to pure concrete from my non-expert understanding.

If you like coding and tech, just look for a different job, at a smaller company, with less legacy code, less code , less red tape, less middle managers, and overall less bullshit. Smaller companies are not always golden, and come with the

Reassessment is needed for sure. To classify the other strategies you are describing I think I would call them "increased focus", which would be a positive move for sure. But the draw back of this approach is it's more of the

There's another angle: system independence. When things go wrong, i.e in a crash, you still want to guarantee an undammaged door latching mechanism can still be operated independent of other parts of the car being damaged (likely). To

I have so far found it to be a very good filter, helping eliminate BS or candidates grossly exaggerating their abilities. I've yet to experience the opposite but I have hope.
