"He spread it to them" means that he physically transmitted it to them. He did not. Pointing out your misuse of the English language does not make me a sycophant.

Can you provide any evidence that Trump spread the virus to anyone?

This is some pretty heavy-duty obfuscation. What is the business case for this amount of work towards preventing reverse-engineering? Decent rate limiting should be much more effective than making such a herculean effort to obfuscate one&

It's definitely worth doing, if nothing else, for the experience. It's gotten harder to run one's own mail server due to aggressive IP reputation systems and because many ISPs block a large number of ports to prevent doing e

Shell scripts get a bad rap where they probably shouldn't. This stems mostly from people who write them as a quick hack and never replace them with something "more serious". It doesn't make shell script bad, it just me

Other than consistency with coding style, I've never got the appeal of camel or pascal case. Is it a file size concern, maybe? I guess an underscore could take up additional space when used across a codebase, and maybe this has been

Who cares who wrote it? Good code is good code, and Reiser is still often the best option for storing lots of small files. I don't think it makes sense to change the name, but it's rude and vulgar to deliberately link to an old v

Legislators tend to do a very bad job of creating technical standards. There is no constitutionally-enumerated power for Congress to regulate which character-encoding standard is used. On the other hand, updating all gov't and milita

That story made a big splash but was never proven. Bloomberg claimed sources it conveniently couldn't reveal. I'm just as suspicious of China as the next guy, and they've probably got something in the supply chain, but prob

Half the problem is that two parties have screwed up the nation, and no one lets third parties get a say. Remember they wouldn't even let Gary Johnson (libertarian candidate) debate back in 2016, even after he was polling widely at do

Possible, but you'll end up in the same arms race you get with cheaters and on-line games. I.e. I could probably sniff the requests and responses coming off a phone and throw together a python script which would automatically "sw

There are plenty of dangerous things we purchase. Imagine if there was a switch that could be flipped changing it from edible to inedible and dangerous. Not cooking pork to 165 could kill you. I still think it's BS to sue a pork mfg.
