CVS came out in 1986, and it is built on top of RCS, which dates to 1983.[0] RCS was an alternative to SCCS, which was written for the IBM System/370 in 1972.[1][2] All of these are very workable for software development by a co-locate

I always liked CVS better than Subversion. Merging was easier, and admin could manually fix the repo, if you broke it. I think OpenBSD is still using CVS. Git is better for distributed development and pushing to upstream via layers of rev

No mention of capitalism. Their comment relates to a corrupt and entitled elite, which has come to exist in most societies down through history. The trick is to peacefully cycle the elite out of power before they become corrupt, because it

It’s an easy question that could elicit an interesting response. For example, they could be using an internal CVS repo. Or, they could be using GitHub.

That looks to me like a low quality solution. Nothing like the Hearphones.

The president has little actual control of the FDA. It's a bureaucracy and answers to neither party. "We be here when you gone."

Not really, the cartel just wants you to believe that. There just needs to be a limit on the max volume that the OTC devices can put out. The situation is similar to headphones. What we need is compression and equalization. Now. They ca

It doesn't work very well, because of the latency in the BT chain. An effective solution needs to use the two mics in each AirPod and the internal AirPod DSP.

Take good care of them. They worked really well for me. But, the internal frame is partly plastic, and mine snapped. You have to be careful not to flex it much when taking it off. Now, I'm looking for fine weave carbon fiber cloth t

I have AirPods Pro's and they are very disappointing. My pair of $500 hearing aids are far superior. The AirPods provide no gain for external sound, and not nearly enough equalization to compensate for hearing loss. The "beam

Nice network. But Dartmouth BASIC was a primitive language that encouraged unmaintainable spaghetti code. (This was not too bad, if the programs were twenty lines long, I guess.)

Dartmouth BASIC did no such thing. It lacked any concept of structured programming until 1975 (Pascal was introduced in 1970), and for many years its variable names consisted of a single character and a digit. Goto's went to line num

Kemeny ruined Dartmouth College and BASIC was far behind the state of the art in programming languages at the time.

This is not true. Permitted and inspected work is fine.

In many areas of the US, it’s perfectly legal to do your own residential electrical work, so long as you get the permits and inspections.

Yes. The article doesn’t even mention “moon”. Current information indicates that most of the Earth’s lithosphere ended up in the Moon. BTW, George Gamow wrote about the “birth” of the Moon back in the ‘50s.

Sure, but there are many lower level popular science magazines, to say nothing of the hundreds of books that have been published on the topic. Quanta Magazine is a rarity - a non-mathematical magazine that covers the forefront of science in
