These are nice, but on the other hand there's the case where you have a limited time slot somewhere and windows randomly decides that it's time to update, pop up a window to upload your data to "the cloud", reboot, and bang, you're f*cked.

As far as I know there would be, it's just that nobody is using them that way

Where's enlightenment and windowmaker?

What I don't get is why anything these guys are saying makes the news. It's changing every day, and it's always a lie. They know it, everyone else knows it, it doesn't make any sense to write about it.

I don't mind bashing Musk for a second, but as far as I know China follows a startup mentality with electric cars - the government supports the industry so they can sell cars below their actual price, and once they killed all their competition they can increase.

There's no fair winning against this policy

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but 1998 was 26 years ago.

Don't know those, also, stopped doing night shifts (mostly) :)

I miss the old Yahoo games site where during night shift you could play Canasta with probably some retired folks from the other side of the world

One local news site wrote that it might be a mistranslation, and a poet from Leva got to be leftist poet. Can't confirm personally, my Slovak vocabulary is 20 words at maximum

You can have a computer with multiple users, one prefers gnome, the other kde. Say, they also want to access the computer through cnc, but these are too slow for that, and one prefers windowmaker, the other enlightenment. It works just fine. You can run all these four at the same time.

There's also the study on super flares on solar like stars: https://www.nature.com/articles/nature11063 From this and follow-up papers it absolutely can happen on the Sun, just with a very low probability.

(I never thought this would ever come up on social media)

Just wait until you get to Dexter's lab with the omelette du fromage.

But what do you do if that field is needed? A throwaway address won't work as it's easy to recreate. Buy your own domain and run a server?

I strongly disklike any subscription, but having to choose between paying for a high-end gaming rig that I rarely have the opportunity to use and paying 10$ or so for renting a cloud VM instance for the few months I get through a game, I choose the latter. Also, upgrading hardware is somebody else's problem.

Thanks, I learned a lot :)

As far as I know (not kuch actually) there are some tries to slightly reform German (DoktorInnen and alike), and maybe even Spanish where in a group with mixed males& females you'd target them with male pronoun and seemingly that makes some people sad.

It's indeed not an issue with Hungarian, although I've seen a party invitation online that decided that it needs to be inclusive, so the spoken language should be English, and THEN they complained about pronouns. Weird.

I was looking for this comment. It's unfortunate that Julia basically dies in the shadows of python, in some sense it's much more logical, out at least f ing print and division doesn't change between versions

I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.

Have you tried tiny macros with q and @? Syntax highlighting? Z-folds? Or turn vi into a hex editor with :%!xxd ?

If that doesn't work, try :divorce
