On the other hand, people not only drive, but also oppose progress; as a smarter than me person (don't remember who it was) said: Science advances one funeral at a time (it's basically like evolution). If people stop dying (barrin

What, you mean return copyright to a state that worked for, what, a century, and which meant that people could actually freely remix things they saw as adolescents within their lifetimes? Blasphemy!

Writing the template and the content in HTML is easy enough for me, but I'm still struggling to make post lists, feeds and other things out of it without a lot of administrative effort.

As the very home country of Mercedes/Daimler, Opel, Volkswagen and other car manufacturers and the (AFAIK) only unlimited-speed public roads in the world (Autobahn), I (German citizen) pretty much doubt our government will start a seri

Given how many times btrfs has failed to read data or to mount (with an error), I would imagine this is why btrfs is used by Facebook: because it isn't afraid to 'just let it crash' (cleanly), to use Erlang rethoric.

I don't know why you say 'at least half', but the parties that got less than proportional number of seats (usually everyone except the CDU and sometimes SPD) gets Ausgleichsmandate ([leveling seats]( https://en.wiki

If you use a C FFI in any language, including Java, all kinds of safety are off. Unsafe Rust is equivalent to C (with a lot of mandatory lints) in terms of safety, so Rust is not really less safe.

Not all websites are complex though. There should be little need to use scripts on a simple blog, for example, but I've seen way too many times that you'll end up with a blank screen without scripts, even though the text is alread

I already use uMatrix, but why should I trust 1st party scripts. I regularly visit less-trusted sites or sites that I never visited before, and I wouldn't want them to be able to just execute Turing-complete scripts with access to pote
