Companies are amoral. If killing people boosted their share price they would issue every employee a machine gun in a heartbeat. The only reason this doesn't happen is it's illegal.

I call bullshit until you cite evidence. Farm equipment doesn't even need to comply with road vehicle requirements. What special regulations does a farm equipment manufacturer need to comply with that don't apply to any other indu

Changing a hardlinked file changes it everywhere, unless your specific editor happens to create a new inode. Thus it depends on your editor. CoW is similar except the new inode is created by the file system itself and is independent of the

I would almost buy one of these even at such a ridiculous price if I could get it with all the AI features permanently disabled.

Not good enough. Eventually the grandparents will come to visit. They'll turn on the TV, it will ask them to "finish the setup procedure," they'll type in my wifi password and BOOM! I'm pwned.

Delta-sigma is not a compression technique. A good delta-sigma encoder will use roughly the same number of bits as a PCM encoder. Delta-sigma uses more samples per second but fewer bits per sample to capture the same information. The reason

Agreed. You can leave out the hyphens to make sorting even easier with almost no loss of readability.

The TPS reports are written with the sender's AI and then read and summarized with the recipient's AI. At this point it would make more sense to just write the TPS reports in MCP.

Offtopic blogging tip: Americans will read dates like "8/9/2026" as "August 9, 2026." I'm pretty sure the author is using the (more sensible) convention of day/month/year but expressing dates as

Absolutely correct! I find dynamic binding quite annoying in the modern era; it can cause subtle and unexpected errors. Common Lisp switched mainstream Lisp programmers over to lexical binding in the 1980s. Scheme had used it from day one.

Not exactly everything is free. I'd prefer to live in a world where stuff like this was expensive and RAM was still cheap.

> Bedrock now uses the lexical-binding: t cookie in all its .el files. This is the right thing to do if you wrote your .el files recently and assumed lexical-binding was true and you understand the implications thereof. OTOH if your .el

The average person (e.g. my Mom) only needs office software, email, and a web browser. Linux has all of that out of the box.

The Match monopoly buying you out is one problem. A bigger problem is that dating sites have to have a lot of users before anybody wants to use them. (They especially need women users.) This conundrum is a huge barrier to entry in the spa

So many daemons. And while a lot can be disabled, some of them cause important stuff to break if you disable them, or even cause the OS to crash in a Heisenbugian fashion. And there's no documentation. So debugging this crap is anythin

AT&T used to exist. Because it was a monopoly, it was broken up into the baby bells in 1982. One of which was Southwestern Bell, which eventually bought up all the other baby bells and what was left of AT&T. And then in 2005 it rena

I use adapters for AA cells. It's just a plastic tube the size of a C cell that you snap an AA into. I have to replace them more often but I use rechargeable AA cells so waste is not an issue.

I can squeeze off-brand C cells by hand.

Mightytext does some of this for Android phones: It lets you read and send SMS on your phone from your computer. It also shows notifications from your phone when they happen. It's an app on your phone and a website on your computer. No

Good riddance to Google. I'm happy GOS is no longer dependent on their hardware. My concern is that Motorola is a Chinese company. Sure, Pixel and Apple phones are made in China too, but they're overseen by American companies. How

I've pretty much given up on Asahi because of the years-long delays, and because there's no performant way to share disk space for data with MacOS. By running Linux in a VM on MacOS on Apple silicon, you sacrifice some raw speed b

Yes, and... When I buy from a local farmer I expect to wash my produce thoroughly, and if his product makes me sick I can come back later and complain to his face. If that doesn't fix the problem I can probably get him excluded from ma

Likewise if your car stalls on a railroad crossing, run at a 45 degree angle toward the train. This puts you away from the path of flying debris.

"The key point is that quantum batteries are not about storing a great amount of energy, but about delivering it faster and with greater control," says Ferraro. This is a description of a capacitor.
