- The oil that they include is definitely a type of preservative You seem really hung up on the preservatives thing and I was giving the benefit of the doubt, but now it is just disingenuous. If oil of all things in a competitors product as

Debouncing shouldn’t add any latency. If a mechanical keyboard sold at a price premium adds latency for “denouncing” someone got ripped off.

Op clarified it was a Cessna 421, so indeed pressurized. When these are ferried they put fuel tanks inside the cabin (these are called ferry tanks unsurprisingly), so they were indeed within arms reach.

My field of endeavor involves running non-free software. So which is it? Is it non-discrimatory or am I doing something against the creators wishes?

> The GNU/Linux operating system was built long before open source was a thing. Please find someone that worked in the field during the 70s. They hopefully will kindly re-educate you on this BS. Also if you’re talking about the OSI

I’ll be the last to defend amazon but there are people that abuse the lax return policy (there are plenty of guides on the web of how best to do this) and it is unsurprising that amazon will address it. Not that I feel sorry for them in any

Rusty Russell and Linus had a long working relationship at that point and Rusty was quite amused by that line. He quoted it in the talk he gave on futexes.

If you knew one whit about what you’re talking about you’d feel pretty silly about this comment.

What is not explicit about that statement? The evaluation of the variable is well defined in a Boolean context. If you have to write “== true” everytime that’s your own idiosyncratic hangup. It has nothing to do with explicitness, it’s just

You haven’t read K&R C I’m going to guess. Terseness is a traditional component of C and UNIX (cf creat). I don’t care to debate the merits but that is a fact. Most C books in the 80s were written in this style. Furthermore in the days

> JS does everything in its power to make life hard for the compiler. This is a bit hyperbole. It could be worse, it could be python. Yes pypy does not have the investment of v8, but there is more to it than that. Yes js sucks but the la

What the heck are you talking about? If dockerd is started in tcp mode, it is unencrypted and unauthenticated by default.

It was pretty much 99% law enforcements fault with a tiny bit the kids fault. If someone across state lines can call in a hoax and get someone killed then sorry but it’s pretty much on the LEA idiots.

Yes there are some idiots that dismissed the tomasetti and vogelsteinn paper due to it conflicting with their worldview, but they only got momentum because the original paper really was crap from even a critical scientific POV. What’s very

There are plenty of substitutes for things that may feel good but are ultimately useless.

Ie you have to use qt designer as you ide or switch between IntelliJ/pycharm. It’s not ideal as IntelliJ is miles ahead of qt designer as a general purpose ide for python. I’m pretty spoiled at this point by the excellent refactorings

There’s no debate. I use ad supported services (like Facebook) and I block ads. End of story. If these services go away because of some ad revenue problem (unlikely) I just don’t care. Right now there is no ad supported service that I belie

Microsoft pretty much had an anti internet strategic policy until 1995, that’s why. Back in the day a tcpip stack was a third party add on.

You’ve gotta mean hardware. There is no way that arm chip could do h265 at any useful speed. The amlogic in the c2 can do hardware h265 (not hdr) and it works with Kodi. I use one this way and have been overall pleased with it though especi

It’s not too bad I think, it’s just an evolution really. You can probably grok the basics of the type annotations in a short sit down. I can’t even remember when decorators were introduced but that even more greatly changed how python was w

The ego argument doesn’t make me skeptical of the leakers, why would it. It sounds like a plausible explanation. What is a better explanation that accounts for the tremendous downside?
