Fortunately the house is in a state that makes it fairly easy to get a CCW permit, and I'm always carrying when I'm around that house.

The WSJ editorial was in response to the flood of mainstream coverage about the administration's announcement yesterday. I knew it was an editorial when I linked it and it should be obvious to anyone who reads it. Is there any questi

"at no cost to you" other than the devaluation of your money via rampant inflation caused by irresponsible multi-trillion dollar spending bills.

True, but suddenly, after this new questionable paper appears, the current US administration is now considering a ban on gas stoves in all new construction. https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-is-coming-for-your-gas-st..

X was developed on VAX, 68k, and later SPARC and then x86. VAX and x86 are little-endian, while 68k and SPARC are big-endian. Portability across these platforms was important and this was the inspiration for the RPC (now gRPC) platform-in

I had to click and read the article to see whether CGI in this context was "Computer Generated Imagery" or "Common Gateway Interface". I've always been a fan of simple CGI interfaces. More middle-ware always means

I agree it was a good story, but I became skeptical when I could not find the music (or any reference to it, or the composers) on-line. It should have somehow been tagged as fiction.

Nothing is 100% secure, but I have opted for a high-quality gun/fire safe that's bolted to the foundation of my home (in a gated community), and protected by multiple monitored alarm systems and cameras. The safe has a lot more r

Thanks. If run as an unprivileged user, the dd command will not consume ALL of the disk space (so privileged processes will not be disrupted). It will consume up to the free space limit (default 5%) as described here: http://

I use this all the time. It's a big time saver on multi-core machines (which is pretty much every desktop made in the past 20 years). It's available in all the repos, but not included by default (at least in Ubuntu/Mint).

I cannot find any reference to this online, but your post reminded me of a similar message to the Russians from the same era. The roof of the Northrop plant in Hawthorne, CA (now SpaceX) had "Yeb Vas" written in some fashion so a

I did some development on uVAX in 1989. Wrote a DECWindows app that did monitor & control of a distributed realtime system. DECWindows was slow, so it would get updated every 250ms, while the realtime stuff communicated to a proxy (vi

Seems like they are taking the right approach. Instead of trying to regulate OSS, they're funding CISA to help make it more secure.

Governments can easily correlate GV numbers to mobile devices. I personally no longer trust Signal. Moxie's departure stinks like a canary.

Managing decline is not a plan for survival. No matter what you think of Trump, this was one of his primary policy issues, and is the basis for the "Make America Great Again" slogan.

Another example of "we don't know that it's okay, so you can't have it." This flawed logic has been used in various forms to create twisted reasoning for plenty of stupid laws. E.g. We don't know that you&#x2

This should be an add-on vs. being integrated in the app. Better still would be a wholly separate app. Thunderbird is for email.

Good suggestion. If the school is requiring your child to have the chromebook, then they should pay for the thing. They don't have the right to infect any device that your child happens to log in with. So factory reset, don't l

Perhaps true, but this has already become the typical behavior of YouTube (and most other mainstream social media/media). My comment is focused on this now typical behavior and not the immediate situation. They are indistinguishable

Please take note that my remark below has nothing whatsoever to do with Ukraine. Do not assume that you know my position on the matter. YouTube (and most of social media) has lost its way. As with any other business, straying into politic

I blew up a few selenium rectifiers when I was a kid, and I distinctly remember the (fart-like) odor. I also played with vaporized mercury, and indiscriminately inhaled lead fumes while soldering. Aside from the chemical contamination, I&
