The unfulfillable desires for greed and power are what destroys people and civilizations. Lust likely a close second. The ancient Stoics taught on this very point and it is just as true today. We've created some clever tricks of seemin

toss1's comment [1] says Ford F-150 = 5,700 Lbs 1995 Ford F150 = 3886 Lbs Which makes me wonder: why are these (non-electric) vehicles getting heavier? Is this from engine/parts needed for emissions compliance? Is it perceived saf

Just because you love a place doesn't mean you can't recognize when it's coming to an end. The Dolphins had a grand old time swimming and eating fish, but alas it was time to go. Not saying Google is coming to an end, but per

I'm trying. It's good to have goals in life. Also, I think it's more possible than you think it is (although clearly not achievable by one person).

It's not just software, it's all technology. Here's a question: how big would a factory (building) need to be to build everything needed for a "personal computer" AND build everything inside the factory? I'm tr

Here's my take You are part of the world. You change and improve and also decay and die. These things are natural, they do not need to be forced. Sometimes forcing something makes it happen faster, but oftentimes its like forcing takin

Tao Te Ching 29, Stephen Mitchell Do you want to improve the world? I don’t think it can be done. The world is sacred. It can’t be improved. If you tamper with it, you’ll ruin it. If you treat it like an object, you’ll lose it.

It feels to me like the law is already a staggering heap of complexity. Isn't using technology going to just enable more of the same, making the situation worse?

> So glibc's qsort doesn't sort arrays of items when fed nonsense input? No kidding. Not only will it not sort them... it will lead to OOB memory accesses by qsort itself

Are you using vim to run shell commands?

I may have misunderstood, but I'm pretty sure APE is not a "binary format" per se. It is a script that can be executed on any system. That script can then LOAD a binary. IIRC the original needed to decode it from base64 befor
