”Winter was short, this year”. “Spring came early”. It does not make sense to tie these concepts to a calendar. Summer is when you dare to dip your toes in the ocean. In winter we have a meter of ice. I generally place vacation weeks in Jul

There are no see cows mentioned in the Wikipedia article about Merovech [0]. I have no knowledge about this, but such a juicy databit should just jump at you, if it was true. Instead, a quite mundane etymology around ‘merovech’ is provided.

In 1995, World War III almost broke out after a rocket launch from the exact same location [1]. It was only a coincidence that stopped the Russians from doing retaliatory nuclear rocket launches. So, indeed, launching to the east is not a g

Else is a common name in my part of the world and capitalizing the word makes the connection more explicit.

Bear? It is more like a stray dog that keeps shitting on your living room carpet. You don’t need to hate the dog, you just keep it on the outside where it can run around and have a great time on it’s own.

Interesting. I came in contact with dynamic programming as a means to implement the Viterbi algorithm in an equalizer. This relates to calculating “cost” of routes through a trellis, where you accumulate partial results corresponding to alt

If writing performance is critical, why bother with deduplication at writing time? Do deduplication afterwards, concurrently and with lower priority?

This is an interception scenario, no? If issued intentionally, traffic will pass through hardware in… unfriendly territory.

Makes sense since the Russians have been fiddling with time and seems to have turned it back to 1962.

Why are the letters ’p’, ’q’ and ’t’ missing from the article? Makes it a bit annoying to read.

What’s the problem? I’m white and can need to be reminded that I’m actually in minority on this planet, but act as I’m not. The text is pretentious, but I can take that.

It is a pity that PostScript has to live such a dwindling life. It is a very fascinating language in itself. After Display PostScript disappeared, I think the only use is in printers nowadays. I once invested in a development environment fo

There is also a language factor here. 100 years ago, English was not the ‘lingua franca’ of the world, traveling in Europe you were better off with French, German or even Latin. US marketing currently happen to be understood almost everywhe

Back in the day, I developed Windows applications using Visual C++ and Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC). MFC had its set of quirks, and development was quite painful - I often wondered why a particular method was non-virtual, which would
