A1. Most wells are duds. I would say I've had about a 1 in 7 success rate with them. When one does hit, the payout has been understated in the contracts. I've started hiring independent land men to help pick the investments. Make

I invested in several wind projects. They've yet to show any returns. I've invested in 27 oil wells. Four of them hit big, and I recovered all of my loses from 23 other wells. I continue to get checks from those 4 wells after yea

Try driving through Wyoming and Kansas. Enjoy. What car do you have? Do you carry an adapter? How many times has it been stolen for you?

A little, but I went from an Audi to the Polestar. Parts are easier to get for Audi. I don't think it being an EV is what caused the increase though.

"EV should be able to do everything a gas car can" I disagree with this article. I have a 2023 Polestar that I've had for about 10 months. I will be trading it when my new gasoline Audi arrives in the next week or so. I'

Yes, banning things is the American way. We should ban more things.

I read the article. That is the point. It has no relevancy at all. The article was horrible, makes an opening statement that can't be supported. You people are just sheep.

Who do you think legalizing drugs is going to benefit? What followup are you looking for?

You were fortunate to have one of the few computers it would actually run on.

Someone linked this article. I am curious to the attraction of Coherent now. Anyone that used it or wrote code for it hated it. It was not compatible with any version of Unix. SRV(3,4) was what the world lived in back in the 80s/90s. I

We had it on 286, but most of where I lived was on the 68k. I never bought a personal license. We had a license w/ source. I had an Amiga at home back in those days.

Interesting. I found I wrote more, and better code once everyone left me alone.

by deviantbit 3y ago
You really wouldn't. I developed code for Coherent, if anyone remembers that UNIX clone. I honestly never want that to come back.

Wyden voted for the Patriot Act. If he is concerned why hasn't he introduced legislation to repeal it? This government is out of control.

I disagree. Templates would have given messages a whole new world. I haven't looked at Objective-C generics. They didn't exist in 1989.

I am always suspect of these surveys. I saw one the other day that claimed C# was the top language being used. I'll continue to donate to Firefox and Thunderbird.

I loved Objective-C when I was developing on the NeXT. I haven't done with it much since then. I don't think it really got the credit it deserved. Templates would have been nice to have with it. Messages where so useful.

Funny. So do I. Military specs are governed through something call MIL-STD, not through NIST unless it directly references it. For instance BSSC 2005 gives guidelines on coding standards for Java, but no one follows them. If you were a cont

"For US companies, Executive Order 14028, “Improving the Nation's Cybersecurity” now makes providing a SBoM a legal obligation for many companies." Yea, this is not true. There is NO legal obligation. Be careful with what you

No one discusses how with new releases old code breaks. I can compile C code from 40 years ago. I can't compile code in Rust I wrote from 4 months ago. I feel Rust will always be a moving target. I am getting very discouraged.

This is ridiculous. Those that adopted the gun annihilated those that didn't. No one cares about the losers way of life.

US developers are far better than Indian developers, but they can't compete on wages. The cost of living is too high in this country.

A free market is one that is protected. Unfortunately nothing in the USA is protected. Our borders, our jobs, our votes. Those in control only care about themselves.

A union would have done nothing other than accelerate the process. We need laws that if a job is off-shored the company is penalized heavily, where it makes it painful and unbearable.
