Yep, terrible: I will show how Make hits every one of your complaints: (sarcasm on) in file hello.c: #include <stdio.h> int main(int ac, char **av) { printf("hello\n"); return 0; } How to compile and run this? We ne

The velop uses bluetooth for setup... you use an application on your phone, that sets up the router. Yes, it's janky too.

One snapshot would help because, if EVERYTHING collapses, and you need data recovery, the snapshot provides a basepoint for the recovery. This should allow better recovery of metadata. Not that this should EVER happen -- it is just a good i

They did mention ZFS, so verified hashes of each file block. I hope they are scrubbing, and have at least one snapshot.

Of course, use search and replace to change 0 to zero... etc. The OCR will (should) work better.

Either the journalist writing the article was using Dutton as a source accurately, or Science is not a reputable source of news. This is mutually exclusive. I took the story prima facie. And, if the story (journalism) is accurate, Dutton is

You claim that CO2 causes runaway climate change?

I do wish that was a reasonable argument. Closer: I drive a "Model Z". In the past, someone discovered a crushed Model Z. Does driving a Model Z more than 50 mph cause crushing?

To quote the article: "The new octopus genome data, she adds, “is pretty convincing evidence that a full collapse happened.” The findings reinforce the importance of understanding how modern climate conditions are affecting the West An

thanks -- I was under the initial impression that you intended jeeves as a "pythonic make". make isn't a command runner at all. Indeed, it relies on sh for that. It determines the DAG required to bring components up to date w

4 gigabytes per second? Ok, and no. Sixel is defined for two purposes: the first is to allow display of bitmaps. the second is to allow the definition of characters glyphs (which xterm does NOT have -- due to graphics limitations). If the g

You could well be right (I am not American). I do recall discussing the GDR with some USA people... a "democratic republic". Was told, back then, that the term had been co-opted. But then, I don't know much about the John Bir

The USSR did call itself democratic. In a sense, since it was central control for all. The USA did NOT call itself democratic -- the preferred term up to the '70s was "constitutional republic". To avoid the flattening that &q

The provider of care gets paid "a reasonable amount". The care is provided. No bureaucratic nonsense. Sound ideal. Except... someone invents a novel care. They can choose to provide it "for a reasonable amount". But it c

Judges do NOT legislate from the bench! That is incredibly anti-democratic, and a collapse of our system. Judges do NOT tell politicians that they cannot make abortion illegal. That right, and yes, it IS a right, is reserved to the electora

Let us take the word as published by the CBC (pick another source). The idea (tldr) is that "At this point, no mass grave has been discovered, but more than a thousand potential unmarked graves have already been located, with many more

Thank you for that insight. I wish to mention that I live in the North and have been told by the "power" that I have to reduce my carbon footprint by 50% -- actually more like 75% to accommodate immigration (between now and 2100).

Thank you. And... as a note. The following statement has been down-modded in the past (this is truly an "uncomfortable truth"): If we go with no-CO2/no fossil fuel policy, we will reduce farming production, leading to famin

Your comment was extremely offensive. Let me take but one example: How many unmarked graves of children and infants behind "care homes" in Canada are there? How does that have to do with nuns? (yes, Tuskeegee, and syphilis is a kn

I agree with you. But I caution -- shipping lng is not something that Canada does or will do. Canada's stated goal is to TRY to ship hydrogen. Dangerous as that is. Yes, fertilizer production becomes "one of the last sectors to us

No they are not "surprisingly accurate". I have actually made more money in direct bets AGAINST climate models. From 1970 to present. Indeed, the challenge I make to climate doomsayers is simple: make one prediction in the 5 year

It has been the "mean, bad Capitalist" vs the "nice, social minded Socialist". I tend to go with the Capitalist. Why? Because it has never been good to kill the consumer of the product. In general, this particular princi

Not hyperbolic. What is NOT factored in by the IPCC is the effect of NOT using "fossil fuels". Agriculture is affected. NOT using fossil fuels simply means no fertilizer. Famine killing 1 billion would be expected. So -- bad if yo
